FINAL PUBLIC NOTICE Smith County has applied for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding through the Tennessee Emergency Management (TEMA) as a sub-recipient. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), federal actions must be reviewed and evaluated for feasible alternatives and social, economic, historic, environmental, legal, and safety considerations. Under Executive Order (EO) 11988 and EO 11990, FEMA is required to consider alternatives to and to provide public notice of any proposed actions in or affecting floodplains or wetlands. EO 12898 also requires FEMA to provide the opportunity for public participation in the planning process and to consider potential impacts to minority and low-income populations. This notice may also fulfill requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Funding for the proposed project will be conditional upon compliance with all applicable federal, tribal, state, and local laws, regulations, floodplain standards, permit requirements, and conditions. Applicant: Smith County Project Title: DR-4541-0002 Smith County Acquisition/Demolition Application #1 Location of Proposed Work: Within the Boundaries of Smith County. The properties are located in the following areas. 1. One (1) property on Winding Hills Lane 2. Two (2) properties on Round Lick Hills Lane Name of Structure: Three (3) Repetitive Loss Properties within the boundaries of Smith County Point of Contact: Jeff Mason; (615) 828-1092 / [email protected] Special Flood Hazard Area Zone: This project is for the acquisition and demolition of three (3) properties located in flood zone A. Confirmation of location in an SFHA was made by reference to the latest Flood Insurance Rate Map, Panel 47159C0200D. The proposed work conforms to all applicable State of Tennessee and local floodplain regulations. The proposed work will be to acquire and demolish properties in the floodplain/floodway and will have no effect on the local floodplain. The action will be mitigated by removing structures in the floodplain/floodway and return the properties to open space and prevent future loss of life and property. Proposed Work and Purpose: Smith County is requesting funds to acquire and demolish three (3) properties in the floodplain/floodway and return the properties to open space. The purpose of this project is to protect future loss of life and property from flooding. Project Alternatives: Alternative #1 (no action alternative): The No Action option does nothing to reduce or eliminate future risk to the residents of damage to their property. It also does not offer a means to reduce or eliminate the need for future disaster assistance. The problem of repetitive flooding is not alleviated in any manner. Repetitive flood losses will continue to occur. This will only increase the financial strain on the property, its owners, local government resources and the National Flood Insurance Program. Alternative #2: The most feasible action is to acquire, demolish and return the three (3) properties to open space, by doing so would lessen the possible loss of life and property in the area. This action would not put our public safety officers at risk in future flooding events. Alternative #3 Elevating these properties could potentially solve the flooding problem. Each house would need to be raised above the highest recorded floodwater levels. Some residents would be forced to elevate their houses a much as 20 feet to escape this repetitive flooding. This alternative is not feasible due to the near impossibility of raising the homes to this elevation in an economically feasible manner. Elevation itself does not eliminate the risk for emergency rescue, nor the need to repair damages to infrastructures (i.e. sewer systems, utility lines, etc). These potential repairs would only raise the total damage going forward. Comment Period: Comments are solicited from the public; local, state, or federal agencies; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of the proposed project. The comments should be made in writing and addressed to the Smith Cunty. All comments are due within 30 days of this notice. Smith County will forward comments to applicable regulatory agencies as needed. Interested persons may submit comments, obtain more detailed information about the proposed action, or request a copy of the findings by contacting: The Honorable Jeff Mason Mayor 122 Turner High Circle Carthage, TN 37030 (615) 735-2294 [email protected] POSTED ON: 1 1/18/21
