Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed
Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain

To: All interested Agencies: TPWD, TDA, TWDB Groups, Blanco County Floodplain Administrator, Johnson City Citizens and Individuals

This is to give notice that the City of Johnson City has determined that the following proposed action under HUD Community Development Block Grant Contract #CDV21-0060 is located in the 100-year Floodplain, City of Johnson City will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the 100-year floodplain and the potential impacts on the floodplain from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands.

The proposed Project is to address existing failing fire hydrants and inadequate valves resulting in water loss and lack of fire protection. To prevent the City’s elevated tank from emptying when a water main breaks, installation of insertion valves allows the broken water main rehab work to be done without depressurizing the Water Distribution System and emptying the elevated tank.

The project is described as installation or replacement of twelve (12), new six-inch (6” in.) isolation/insertion/ gate valves, nineteen (19) fire hydrants, and all associated appurtenances located throughout the City limits of Johnson City.

According to NFIP Map Panel 48031C0135C eff. 2/6/1991, one proposed fire hydrant is located in the 100 year floodplain: Fire hydrant #4, located at the SE corner of the intersection of 4th Street and Avenue H (Lat/ Long 30.280385,-98.411955) identified within Quadrant 1. Construction located within the 100-year floodplain is approximately 0.0006 acres. Natural and Beneficial values include primarily urban & rural residential areas.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplains and alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains 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 actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments must be received by the City of Johnson City on or before September 28, 2023. City Hall of Johnson City is located at 303 E. Pecan Dr., Johnson City TX 78636, Phone 830/868-7111 Attention: Rick Schroeder, Chief Administrative Officer or Stephanie Fisher, City Mayor. A full description of the project may also be reviewed, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 303 E. Pecan Dr., Johnson City, TX 78636 and http://www.johnsoncity.org.

Aviso anticipado y revisión pública de una propuesta
Actividad en una llanura aluvial de 100 años

Para: Todas las agencias interesadas: TPWD, TDA, TWDB Groups, Administrador de llanuras aluviales del Condado de Blanco, ciudadanos e individuos de Johnson City

Esto es para notificar que la Ciudad de Johnson City ha determinado que la siguiente acción propuesta bajo el Contrato de Subvención en Bloque de Desarrollo Comunitario de HUD #CDV21-0060 se encuentra en la llanura de inundación de 100 años, la Ciudad de Johnson City identificará y evaluará alternativas viables para ubicar la acción en la llanura de inundación de 100 años y los posibles impactos en la llanura de inundación de la acción propuesta, según lo requerido por la Orden Ejecutiva 11988 y/o 11990, de acuerdo con las regulaciones de HUD en 24 CFR 55.20 Subparte C Procedimientos para tomar determinaciones sobre el manejo de llanuras aluviales y la protección de humedales.

El proyecto propuesto es abordar las bocas de incendio defectuosas existentes y las válvulas inadecuadas, lo que resulta en pérdida de agua y falta de protección contra incendios. Para evitar que el tanque elevado de la Ciudad se vacíe cuando se rompe una tubería principal de agua, la instalación de válvulas de inserción permite que el trabajo de rehabilitación de la tubería principal de agua roto se realice sin despresurizar el Sistema de Distribución de Agua y vaciar el tanque elevado.

El proyecto se describe como la instalación o reemplazo de doce (12), nuevas válvulas de aislamiento/inserción/compuerta de seis pulgadas (6″ pulgadas), diecinueve (19) bocas de incendio y todos los accesorios asociados ubicados en los límites de la ciudad de Johnson City.

De acuerdo con NFIP Map Panel 48031C0135C eff. 2/6/1991, una boca de incendios propuesta se encuentra en la llanura de inundación de 100 años: Boca de incendios # 4, ubicada en la esquina SE de la intersección de 4th Street y Avenue H (Lat / Long 30.280385, -98.411955) identificada dentro del Cuadrante 1. La construcción ubicada dentro de la llanura de inundación de 100 años es de aproximadamente 0.0006 acres. Los valores naturales y beneficiosos incluyen principalmente áreas residenciales urbanas y rurales.

Hay tres propósitos principales para este aviso. En primer lugar, las personas que puedan verse afectadas por las actividades en las llanuras aluviales y las que tengan interés en la protección del medio ambiente natural deben tener la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones y proporcionar información sobre estas áreas. Se alienta a los comentaristas a ofrecer sitios alternativos fuera de las llanuras aluviales y métodos alternativos para servir al mismo propósito del proyecto, y métodos para minimizar y mitigar los impactos. En segundo lugar, un programa adecuado de aviso público puede ser una herramienta educativa pública importante. La difusión de información y la solicitud de comentarios públicos sobre las llanuras aluviales pueden facilitar y mejorar los esfuerzos federales para reducir los riesgos e impactos asociados con la ocupación y modificación de estas áreas especiales. En tercer lugar, como cuestión de justicia, cuando el gobierno federal determina que participará en las acciones que tienen lugar en las llanuras aluviales, debe informar a aquellos que pueden estar en mayor o continuo riesgo.

Los comentarios por escrito deben ser recibidos por la Ciudad de Johnson City en o antes del 28 de septiembre de 2023. El Ayuntamiento de Johnson City está ubicado en 303 E. Pecan Dr., Johnson City TX 78636, Teléfono 830/868-7111 Atención: Rick Schroeder, Director Administrativo o Stephanie Fisher, Alcaldesa de la Ciudad.
