Categorical Exclusion Determination, Town of Kaycee, Wyoming, Tank Rehabilitation & Meter Replacement Project

The Department of Environmental Quality/Water Quality Division (DEQ) has conducted a review of the proposed Town of Kaycee, Wyoming – Tank Rehabilitation & Meter Rehabilitation 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.

The goal of the proposed project is to rehabilitate the Town of Kaycee’s three existing water storage tanks to ensure continued drinking water safety, system reliability, and compliance with safe drinking water standards. This project will also replace 200 outdated mechanical water meters with green, advanced smart meters to significantly reduce water loss, enable rapid leak detection, and promote conservation for sustainable water management.

The Town is aware of and accepts the fact that it 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 does not consist of ground disturbances of existing infrastructure. Work performed for this project will be completed on existing water system appurtenances. 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 the Town of Kaycee, in Johnson County, Wyoming.

The determination shall become effective upon distribution by the Department and may be re-evaluated and the determination changed at any time that adverse information is made available. The documentation to support this decision will be on file in the DEQ Cheyenne Office and is available for public review upon request. To request a copy of the categorical exclusion, contact:
