DATED: May 6, 2020
By order of the Board of Education of the Franklin Central School District

District Clerk

To: All interested Agencies, NYS Office of Community Renewal, Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the Town of Hancock has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for the East Branch Water Phase 3 project under Office of Community Renewal project #505PW193-19. The proposed project will undertake a Phase 3 project to complete the replacement of the remaining original distribution and service lines. 3,190 feet of new watermain will be installed in Town ROWs along the following roads: Church Street, Middle Street, and Cross Street. This will eliminate dead-ends and close the system loop to ensure good pressures and water quality. The new system will have valves at each intersection and at a maximum distance of 500 feet apart to allow for segmented isolation during repairs should they be needed in the future. There will also be 16 service lines installed for the existing users. Additionally, a new generator will be installed at the new waterwell site to provide backup power, a mandate of NYSDOH (10 State Standards Section 2.6), and repairs will be made to the reservoir to stop leakage.
The project budget is $749,875 including construction, engineering and administrative costs.
The Town will replace watermains in order to improve water quantity and quality. The impact area of the project is limited to existing paved roadways. The effected flood zone in the hamlet of East Branch is termed Zone AE by National Flood Insurance Rate Map Number 36025C0907D (effective June 19, 2012) and approximately 10 acres are affected. The project activity location is within the developed hamlet of East Branch.
The Town of Hancock has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values:
(1) the “No Project” alternative was considered and rejected as it would allow the existing water distribution system issues to continue unabated; (2) the “Different Site” alternative cannot be considered as the watermains serving residents residing in the hamlet of East Branch are located within the floodplain and cannot be relocated; and (3) the “Different Technology” alternative was considered and rejected as there is no practicable alternative to providing improved water service except through replacement of aging watermains. This proposed project is in compliance with New York State and Town of Hancock floodplain protection procedures.
The Town of Hancock has reevaluated the alternatives to building in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990 are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments.
This activity will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons:
The proposed water main replacement activity will resolve public water quality and quantity problems. Replacement of aging watermains and the relocation of watermains off of private properties will help the District resolve the described health, safety and maintenance problems without any adverse impacts. No new areas will receive public water service. Existing residents will receive improved service.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the Town of Hancock at the following address on or before May 22, 2020: Town of Hancock, Town Hall, 661 West Main Street, Hancock, New York 13783 (607) 637-3651 Attention: W. Jerry Vernold, Supervisor, thetown@hancock.net during normal business hours. Comments may also be submitted via email thetown@hancock.net.
