EARLY NOTICE AND PUBLIC REVIEW OF A PROPOSED
ACTIVITY IN A 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN AND WETLANDS
Town of Kinder
Clearance Demonstration/Demolition
Louisiana Community Development Block Grant
Issue Date: May 29, 2025
To: All Interested Federal, State, and Local Agencies, Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the Town of Kinder has determined that the following proposed action under the State of Louisiana Community Development Block Grant (Grant No. B-23-DC-22-0001) is located in or adjacent to a 100-year floodplain and wetlands, and the Town of Kinder will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain and wetlands and the potential impacts on the floodplain and wetlands from the proposed action, as requested by Executive Order 11988 and 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 will include the demolition/clearance of various residential properties located throughout the Town. The Town of Kinder has determined that some sites for demolition and clearance are located in or adjacent to the floodplain and/or wetlands.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and/or wetlands 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 floodplain and/or wetlands, 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 about floodplains and wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks 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 or wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the Town of Kinder at the following address on or before June 13, 2025: Town of Kinder, 333 8th St, Kinder, Louisiana 70648 and (337) 738-2620, Attention: Ms. Cynthia Tunwar, Town Clerk. A full description of the project may also be reviewed Monday thru Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 333 8th St, Kinder, Louisiana 70648. Comments may also be submitted via email at cynthia.tunwar@townofkinder.com.
