City of Easton:

Notice of Finding of

No Significant Impact

AGENCY: Rural Development, USDA

ACTION: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact.

SUMMARY: The Rural Development (RD) has made a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to a request for possible financing assistance to City of Easton for the construction of the infrastructure improvements project in Easton, Minnesota.

FURTHER INFORMATION: To obtain copies of the EA and FONSI, or for further information, contact: Laurie Balata, Area Specialist – 507-332-7418 x 113 or laurie.balata@mn.usda.gov The EA and FONSI are also available for public review at 1810 30th Street Northwest, Suite #3, Faribault, MN.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed project consists of Water System Improvements. Alternatives considered by RD and City of Easton include: Construction of a new water tower, the removal of the existing historic water tower, and installation of new water distribution system connection to the City of Wells, Minnesota . The alternatives are discussed in the infrastructure improvements project EA. The RD has reviewed and approved the EA for the proposed project.

The availability of the EA for public review was announced via notice in the following newspaper(s): Faribault County Register on June 28, 2021 and July 5, 2021. A 14-day comment period was announced in the newspaper notices. The EA was also available for public review at the USDA Rural Development office and website as well as the City of Easton office. No comments were received.

Based on its EA, commitments made by City of Easton, and public comments received, RD has concluded that the project would have no significant impact (or no impacts) to water quality, wetlands, floodplains, land use, aesthetics, transportation, or human health and safety.

The proposed project will have no adverse effect on resources listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Agency has also concluded that the proposed project is not likely to affect federally listed threatened and endangered species or designated critical habitat thereof. The proposed project would not disproportionately affect minority and/or low-income populations.

No other potential significant impacts resulting from the proposed project have been identified. Therefore, RD has determined that this FONSI fulfills its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR §§ 1500-1508), and USDA Rural Development’s Environmental Policies and Procedures (7 CFR Part 1970) for its action related to the project.

RD is satisfied that the environmental impacts of the proposed project have been adequately addressed. RD’s federal action would not result in significant impacts to the quality of the human environment, and as such it will not prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for its action related to the proposed project.
