NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
AND NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
Applicant: City of Yelm February 1, 2002
105 Yelm Ave. W, P.O. Box 479
Yelm, WA 98597 (360) 458-3244
TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS, AND PERSONS:
On or about February 20, 2002, the above named City will request the state of Washington Department of
Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) to release federal funds under Title I of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (PL93-383) for the following project:
Yelm Community Services: Remodel and addition of 1600 sg. ft. to the Yelm Community Services
Childcare Center. Remodel and addition of 2,500 sg. ft, to the Yelm Community Services Thrift Shop.
Remodel and addition of 900 sg. ft. to the Yelm Community Services Food Bank. Remodel of
existing buildings, and addition of 7,600 sq. ft. gymnasium.
It has been determined that such request for release of funds will not constitute an action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment and accordingly the above named City has decided not to
prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL91-
190).
The reasons for such decision not to prepare such statement are as follows:
The proposed action will have no significant adverse impact on the environment.
An Environmental Review Record respecting the within project has been made by the above-named City
which documents the environmental review of the project, and more fully sets forth the reasons why such
statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is on file at the above address, and is
available for public examination and copying upon request, between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request of
release of federal funds.
All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written
comments for consideration by the City of Yelm, to the Community Development Department, P.O. Box
479, Yelm, WA 98597. Such written comments should be received on or before February 15, 2002. All
such comments so received will be considered, and the City of Yelm will not request the release of
federal funds or take any administrative action on the project, on or before the date specified in the
preceding sentence.
The City of Yelm will undertake the project described above with Block Grant funds from the state of
Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) under Title I of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. The City of Yelm is certifying to CTED
that The City of Yelm and Shelly Badger, in her official capacity as City Administrator of the City of Yelm,
consent to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in
relation to environn~entai reviews, decision making and action; and that these responsibilities have been
satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval, City of Yelm may use the Block
Grant funds, and CTED will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969. CTED will accept an objection to its approval only if it is on one of the following issues: a) that
the certification was not in fact executed by the certifying officer or other officer of applicant approved by
CTED; or b) that applicant's environmental review record for the project indicates omission of a required
decision-finding or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process. Objections must be
prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Par 58) and may be
addressed to CTED at 906 Columbia SW, P.O. Box 48300, Olympia, WA 98504-8300.
Objections to the release of funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by
CTED. No objection received after March 12, 2002, will be considered by CTED.
