DNR Seeking Public Comment For Environmental Review Of Sheboygan Falls Safe Drinking Water
Loan Program Project

MADISON, Wis. ? The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the city of Sheboygan Falls is an applicant for funding through the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program to improve its public drinking water system.

The project includes replacing the existing Fond du Lac Avenue booster station.

Activities related to this project are minor actions under Chapter NR 150, Wis. Admin. Code, for which no environmental analysis is required; however, following the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program federal requirement 40 C.F.R. ?35.3580, an environmental review must be conducted before funding this project.

The Safe Drinking Water Loan Program has determined that the project will not result in significant adverse environmental effects, and no further environmental review or analysis is needed before proceeding with funding the project.

The public is encouraged to submit comments regarding this decision and the potential environmental impacts of this project. Submit comments by June 4, 2024, to:

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
C/O Elizabeth Higgins, Community Financial Assistance, CF/2

Based on the comments received, the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the funding process. The analysis would summarize the DNR?s consideration of the project's impacts and reasonable alternatives.
