ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICE

City of Johnson City
The City of Johnson City has been awarded an allocation under the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Project # 167-TX8005 (TX1747) in the amount of $ 529,075.42 by US Department of the Treasury for rehabilitation to the City’s wastewater system. Project description includes: Conduct a pipe burst replacement at this location using specialized equipment to go into the manhole and burst the existing 6-inch wastewater pipe from manhole to manhole while pulling a 6-inch HDPE pipe along the way. This method replaces the existing damaged pipe while preventing wastewater spills.
The existing, damaged concrete pipe has developed blockages which cause wastewater backups into homes and businesses due to root-growth at wastewater pipe joints and decaying and/or broken old clay or concrete pipe. Rehabilitation of these lines will re-establish normal wastewater flow conditions in the pipes and will also ensure compliance with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality minimum standards for the design and operation of wastewater collection lines.
Project locations include Gonzales Street, Scofield Ave, Pecan Drive and US 281 Parking Lot.
A review of environmental factors was conducted consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and considering the nature of the current proposed activities, no environmental impacts are expected at these locations.

Ciudad de Johnson City
La Ciudad de Johnson City ha recibido una asignación bajo el Proyecto # 167-TX8005 (TX1747) de los Fondos de Recuperación Fiscal Estatal y Local del Coronavirus (CSLFRF) por un monto de $ 529,075.42 por parte del Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos para la rehabilitación del sistema de aguas residuales de la Ciudad. La descripción del proyecto incluye: Realice un reemplazo de rotura de tubería en esta ubicación utilizando equipo especializado para entrar en la boca de registro y reventar la tubería de aguas residuales de 6 pulgadas existente de pozo a boca de registro mientras tira de una tubería de HDPE de 6 pulgadas en el camino. Este método reemplaza la tubería dañada existente al tiempo que evita derrames de aguas residuales.
La tubería de concreto dañada existente ha desarrollado bloqueos que causan respaldos de aguas residuales en hogares y negocios debido al crecimiento de raíces en las juntas de las tuberías de aguas residuales y la tubería de arcilla u hormigón vieja en descomposición y / o rota. La rehabilitación de estas líneas restablecerá las condiciones normales de flujo de aguas residuales en las tuberías y también garantizará el cumplimiento de los estándares mínimos de la Comisión de Calidad Ambiental de Texas para el diseño y operación de líneas de recolección de aguas residuales.
Las ubicaciones de los proyectos incluyen Gonzales Street, Scofield Ave, Pecan Drive y US 281 Parking Lot.
Se llevó a cabo una revisión de los factores ambientales de conformidad con la Ley de Política Ambiental Nacional (NEPA) y, teniendo en cuenta la naturaleza de las actividades propuestas actualmente, no se esperan impactos ambientales en estos lugares.
