FINAL PUBLIC NOTICE OF THE INTENT OF FEMA TO FUND A PROJECT Notification is hereby given of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA)/Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intent to provide Public Assistance for Ramsey County and Benson County to construct permanent road grade raise projects in the Devils Lake Basin. The proposed projects were significantly damaged by severe storms and flooding that occurred during March 2009. The President declared the event a major disaster on March 24, 2009. Funding will be provided in accordance with the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended.

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, FEMA is required to review the proposed action and possible alternative solutions to the proposed action. FEMA previously issued its Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) and the Final Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for the Devils Lake Region on May 11, 2006 pursuant to the NEPA and FEMA’s implementing regulations at 44 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R) Part 10. The PEA evaluated alternatives for compliance with applicable environmental laws, including: Executive Orders No. 11988 (Floodplain Management), No. 11990 (Protection of Wetlands), No. 12898 (Environmental Justice), and No. 13084 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments). The alternatives evaluated include: (1) No Action, (2) Grade Raises (the Proposed Action), (3) Road Relocations, (4) Alternative Routes, and (5) Home Acquisition.

FEMA has determined that the PEA and the associated Finding of No Significant Impact fully and accurately describe the proposed actions and their potential impact and has developed a Draft Memorandum of National Environmental Policy Act Compliance per the requirements of the PEA. Per the PEA, compliance with Executive Order 11990 for Wetlands Protection and 44 CFR 9.12 (e) has been documented in the Draft Statement of Findings of Executive Order 11990 for Road Grade Projects in the Devils Lake Basin.

Interested persons may request a copy of the Memorandum of National Policy Act Compliance and the Statement of Findings of Executive Order 11990 for Road Grade Raise Projects in the Devils Lake Basin by contacting FEMA Region VIII, Regional Environmental Officer, Denver Federal Center, PO Box 25267, Denver, CO 80225 or Steven E. Hardegen

This notice will constitute the final notice as required by Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands. If no significant issues are identified during the comment period, FEMA will finalize the Statement of Findings, issue an Order to Proceed and fund the project.

PUBLIC NOTICE

City of Oberon

Collects Too Few Water Samples

The City of Oberon is required to monitor your drinking water for

specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring

are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health

standards. During January 2010 we did not complete all microbiological

monitoring or testing and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our

drinking water during that time.

A minimum of one (1) acceptable sample was to be submitted to a

certified laboratory for microbiological analysis. Records show zero (0)

acceptable samples were submitted for January 2010.

The City of Oberon regrets that this error in meeting monitoring

requirements occurred. It is recognized that a complete monitoring

program is of great value in making certain that safe drinking water is

provided to all consumers. Steps have been taken to ensure that adequate

monitoring will be performed in the future.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this

water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly

(for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools and

businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or

distributing copies by hand or mail.

A copy of this notice was mailed to all water customers on Feb. 25,

2010. A copy of this notice will be posted at the community center in

Oberon, ND. The water manager will be notified by mail that he must

submit water samples monthly to the State Health Department.

For further information, please contact Linda Walters, Auditor, City of

Oberon, PO Box 52, Oberon, ND 58357
