Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in
a 100-year Floodplain and Wetlands
To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the Responsible Entity under Part 58
has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988
and 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20
Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain
Management and Wetlands Protection. The activity is funded un-
der the Community Development Block Grant Program under proj-
ect #19003. The proposed project is located in North Powder in
Union County, Oregon.
Generally, the project consists of four elements: (1) construction
of evaporation fountains in one of the City’s wastewater lagoons
and improvements to the existing headworks; (2) construction of an
underground pressure main from the current wastewater treatment
facility to the new evaporation wetland; (3) construction of an 11.5
acre evaporation wetland on City-owned property directly north of
the treatment facility; and (4) rehabilitation of some of the City’s ex-
isting collection system. The new pressure main and evaporation
wetland system will enable the City to discontinue current surface
water discharge. 0.95 acres of wetlands will be impacted as a part
of project elements #2 and #3. The City and Oregon DSL have ne-
gotiated a Payment-in-Lieu fee for the City to mitigate the adverse
effects to the wetlands.
Responsible Entity has considered the following alternatives and
mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and
to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values:
The action must take place in the wetlands because the project
is intended to bring the City’s sewer utility into compliance with
its wastewater permit and a 2010 Mutual Agreement Order (MAO)
from Oregon DEQ. It will also enable the City to end its discharge
into the Powder River, which will reduce the regulatory require-
ments for the City’s wastewater discharge. The major alternatives
considered by the City and Anderson-Perry as a part of the Waste-
water Facility Plan were: (A) No Action Alternative; (B) upgrade the
existing treatment facility to reliability meet the NPDES limits and
maintain river discharge; and (C) develop additional evaporation
capacity to eliminate the need for river discharge and strict NPDES
permitting (chosen alternative).
The action must take place in the floodplain because the City’s
lagoons are located within a 100-year floodplain boundary. An im-
portant distinction is that the City’s lagoons are elevated above the
floodplain, as determined by Anderson-Perry.
Responsible Entity has reevaluated the alternatives to building in
the floodplain/wetland and has determined that it has no practi-
cable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance
with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and 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.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who
may be affected by activities in floodplains/wetlands and those
who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment
should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and pro-
vide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public
notice program can be an important public educational tool. The
dissemination of information and request for public comment about
floodplains/wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to
reduce the risks and impacts 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 ac-
tions taking place in floodplains/wetlands, it must inform those who
may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the Responsible Entity at
the following address on or before April 23, 2021: City of North
Powder 635 3rd St. North Powder, OR 97867 and (541) 898-2185,
Attention: Mike Wisdom, Mayor. A full description of the project
may also be reviewed from Mon – Thurs 8:30 – 12:30 at City Hall
(address above). Comments may also be submitted via email at
cityofnp@eoni.com.

YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are destined to make quite
a name for yourself if you follow faithfully the
path laid out for you when you are young. Of
course, it doesn’t really matter who is respon-
sible for the direction of your life, for when
you are young, you are eager to go anywhere
that encouragement, ability and opportunity
lead you. Later on, however, it will be quite
important for you to claim your own destiny.
SATURDAY, APRIL 17
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A surprise
launches you on a new journey today that will
almost certainly be marked by several unex-
pected stops along the way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may
not be able to anticipate all that will happen
today, but you can trust in your own experi-
ence to guide you through the unknown.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone
may beat you to the punch today, but you’ll
FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 2021
recover quickly and remain competitive for
some time. You know what you’re doing!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When it’s
your turn to call the shots, you want to be
able to do so in a confident manner. You’ve
done your homework, haven’t you?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When someone
gives you the chance to show what you can
do, you mustn’t think of it as a test as much as
an opportunity. You’ve waited for this!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take care
today that you don’t find yourself on the
wrong side of an argument that can deter-
mine where things are going for quite some
time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You’re going
to need at least a little guidance today as you
set out over terrain that may prove treacher-
ous. Listen to what you are told.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You’ll
want to learn more about what you hear
through the grapevine today. Is it really the
truth or merely something you dream about?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --
Safety will be an issue throughout the day, but
you may have to compromise at one point in
order to ensure that you keep a promise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re
likely to find a time for that special someone
today, no matter how busy you may other-
wise be. You’re ready to take it up a notch.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can
gain the advantage today, surely -- but that
doesn’t mean you have to lord it over those
who are charged with listening to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your cur-
rent situation may baffle you somewhat, but
you can certainly spend some time today
trying to figure out the how and the why of it.

Both the Beneficiary and the successor Trustee, Hacker & Willig, Inc., P.S. have elected to sell the said
real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said Trust Deed and a Notice of Default has been re-
corded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.752(3) on April 24, 2020. A Trustee's Notice of Sale was
issued on April 28, 2020, was served on the borrower/grantor, mailed to all necessary parties, and was
posted no fewer than three times and was mailed to Occupant. The date originally set for the sale was
September 11, 2020. On or about June 26, 2020, the Oregon State Legislature passed House Bill 4204
which was subsequently signed into law by the Governor. This law set a moratorium on all foreclosures
of trust deeds by advertisement and sale during the "emergency period" defined as beginning March 8,
2020 and ending September 30, 2020, unless extended by the Governor by executive order. Such order
was issued on August 31, 2020, extending the emergency period to December 31, 2020. That date has
now passed and therefore the stay imposed by law terminated at the end of day December 31, 2020.
This Amended Trustee's Notice of Sale is issued pursuant to HB 4204 and Oregon Revised Statute
86.782 (12). The default for which the foreclosure is made is Grantor's failure to pay when due the fol-
lowing sums:

mance required under the obligation or Trust Deed, and in addition to paying said sums or tendering

amounts provided by said ORS 86.778 and 86.809.
Without limiting the trustee's disclaimer ofrepresentations or warranties, Oregon law requires the
trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee's sale may have been used
in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Pro-
spective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to
place a bid for this property at the trustee's sale.

in interest to the Grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is

sors in interest, if any.

undersigned is a corporation, it has caused its name to be signed and its seal affixed by an officer or
other person duly authorized to do so by its board of directors.
