January 18, 2022 City of North Powder, Oregon 635 3rd St, North Powder, OR 97867 (541) 898-2185 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of North Powder. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about February 18, 2022 the City of North Powder will submit a request to HUD/Oregon Business Development Department for the release of Community Development Block Grant Funds under Oregon Business Development Department (OBDD) for the re- lease federal Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (PL 93-383), as amended, to undertake a project known as North Powder Sewer System Improvements Project for the purpose of: bringing the City of North Powder into compliance with Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) rules. In order to pro- vide a reliable wastewater system that meets the Clean Water Act requirements for treated effluent discharge, the City will need to upgrade and improve the system. 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. Estimated funding: Grant Number P21013 Funding Program Funding Amount Community Development Block $1,991,500 Grant Program (HUD/OBDD) Project location: City of North Powder, Oregon FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The City of North Powder has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmen- tal Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project in- formation is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at City of North Powder, Oregon 635 3rd St, North Powder, OR 97867 and may be examined or copied 8:30AM to 12:30PM Monday thru Thursday. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the North Powder City Recorder, Beth Wendt. All com- ments received by February 17, 2022 will be considered by the City of North Powder prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The City of North Powder certifies to HUD/OBDD that John Frie- boes in his capacity as Mayor of the City of North Powder con- sents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satis- fied. HUD’s and OBDD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of North Powder to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD/OBDD will accept objections to its release of fund and the City of North Powder’ certification for a period of fifteen days fol- lowing the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Of- ficer of the City of North Powder; (b) the City of North Powder has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or oth- er participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD/OBDD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required pro- cedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD/OBDD at 775 Summer St. NE, Ste.200, Salem, OR 97301. Potential objectors should contact HUD/OBDD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

You are not exactly formal in your daily affairs, but you do follow certain patterns of behavior that are, as far as you are concerned, unvarying and inviolate, and liv- ing in this way gives you the strength and confidence you need to do the impossible. SATURDAY, JANUARY 15 CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re looking for the “easy way out,” but you’re not likely to find it -- at least not for yourself. Someone else benefits from your efforts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You want things to be certain and unequivocal today, but that’s not likely to happen -- not while you’re walking a fine line. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You receive assurances from someone that what you want is on the way and should be yours very soon. Others, however, may work against you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your own confidence may be your worst enemy today -- especially when you are facing a danger that is unfamiliar. You’re not infallible! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Despite recent plotting and planning, you are likely to miss out on something today that you’ve been looking forward to -- and others benefit, alas. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you see and hear cannot be relied upon completely today; you’ll want to mount an in-depth inves- tigation of your own to uncover the truth. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Circumstances are in your favor today, but act fast if you spot anything that seems contrary to your desires, for it may bloom very quickly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You benefit from a demonstration of sorts, even though it is certainly not “official” in any way. You may have to break the rules. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can com- municate much today without so much as opening your mouth. Where you are and what you do reveals more than anything you could say. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You’ll have to explore more than one area of endeavor today before you uncover that one activity that can give you the contentment you seek. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be unusually expressive today, but you must make sure that you don’t reveal too much about yourself to the wrong people! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Signs point to the things you must pay particular attention to today; do so, or you’ll soon be missing out on something of great value.
