Categorical Exclusion Determination, Town of Dayton, WY, Lead Service Line Investigation Equipment Purchase

The Department of Environmental Quality/Water Quality Division (DEQ) has conducted a review of the proposed Town of Dayton – Lead Service Line Investigation Equipment Purchasing project in accordance with EPA and State of Wyoming procedures for implementing the State Environmental Review Process. DEQ has determined that this project is eligible for a categorical exclusion. Accordingly, DEQ is exempting the project from further substantive environmental review requirements under the State Environmental Review Process. Neither an Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact nor an Environmental Impact Statement/Record of Decision will be required for the proposed action. The following is a brief description of the situation and the proposed action and a brief statement of how the action meets the criteria for a categorical exclusion.

This project will allow the town to comply with federal regulations regarding lead service line inventories. Based on current cost estimates, the Town of Dayton plans to borrow $140,000 from the Wyoming Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund administered by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. Sheridan County Special Purpose Tax (a/k/a Capital Facilities Tax) and/or water user fees will repay the loan; there is no expected change to user rates. It is anticipated that there will be a 50% to 75% principal forgiveness for the loan. Loan terms will be 0.0% interest rate and 20 to 30 years, depending on the useful life of the equipment purchased.

The Town of Dayton is aware of and accepts the fact that they will be responsible for any required mitigative actions associated with and including storm water runoff, erosion control, archeological/historic artifacts, and air quality concerns. These will be part of the standard State Revolving Funds Program contract conditions.

DEQ is granting an exclusion because the project consists of minor ground disturbances of existing infrastructure. This project will be completed in previously disturbed ground, specifically ground disturbed by previously installed water service lines. No work shall occur in the waters of the U.S.

DEQ has determined that exempting the proposed project from further review under the State Environmental Review Process will not result in adverse impacts to the population or the area of Town of Dayton, Sheridan County, Wyoming.

The documentation to support this decision will be on file in the DEQ Cheyenne Office and is available for public review upon request. Requests for information about the proposed decision may be directed to Tim Eisenhauer, SRF Project Engineer by email *[email protected]* or phone (307) 777-6371.
