AGENCY: Rural Develop-

ACTION: Notice of Avail-
ability of an Environmen-
tal Assessment
SUMMARY: Notice is
hereby given that the Ru-
ral Development (RD) as
required by the National
Environmental Policy Act,
is issuing an environmen-
tal assessment (EA) in
connection with possible
impacts related to a proj-
ect proposed by the City
of Ione (City), of Morrow
County, Oregon. The pro-
posal is for construction of
a septic tank effluent grav-
ity system. The City has
submitted an application to
RD for funding of the pro-
posal.

MATION CONTACT: La-

SUPPLEMENTARY IN-
FORMATION: The City of
Ione proposes to construct
a septic tank effluent grav-
ity system, which will con-
sist of new individual sep-
tic tanks, 30,000 linear feet
of gravity sewer, a new lift
station, 7,100 linear feet of
force main along Johnson
Grade Road, and a 20-acre
common drainfield. An-
derson Perry & Associates,
Inc., an environmental
consultant, prepared an
environmental assessment
for RD that describes the
project, assesses the pro-
posed project’s environ-
mental impacts, and sum-
marizes as applicable any
mitigation measures used
to minimize environmen-
tal effects. The proposed
project will utilize the
Nationwide Programmat-
ic Agreement Among the
U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture Rural Develop-
ment Programs, National
Conference of State His-
toric Preservation Officers,
and The Advisory Council
on historic Preservation for
Sequencing Section 106
(NPA) to achieve compli-
ance with the Nation His-
toric Preservation Act and
formally determine effects
on historic properties listed
or eligible for listing on the
National Register of His-
toric Places. The proposed
Project will have no effect
to federally listed species
or designated critical hab-
itat. The proposed project
would not disproportion-
ately affect minority and/or
low-income populations.
RD has conducted an inde-
pendent evaluation of the
environmental assessment
and believes that it accu-
rately assesses the impacts
of the proposed project.
No significant impacts are
expected as a result of the
construction of the project.
Questions and comments
should be sent to RD at the
address or email provided.
RD will accept questions
and comments on the envi-
ronmental assessment for
14-days from the date of
publication of this notice.
Any final action by RUS
related to the proposed
project will be subject to,
and contingent upon, com-
pliance with all relevant
Federal
environmental
laws and regulations and
completion of environ-
mental review procedures
as prescribed by 7 CFR
Part 1970, Environmental
Policies and Procedures.
A general location map of
the proposal is shown be-
low.
