?
MADISON, Wis.???The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the city of Fennimore is an applicant for funding through the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program (SDWLP) to improve its public drinking water system. This project includes the replacement of water mains and sanitary sewers on blocks of Grant Street, 13th Street, Madison Street, 5th Street, Cleveland Street and a city-owned alley between 10th Street and 11th Street in the city of Fennimore.
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 SDWLP 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 Nov. 17, 2022 to:

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.
