PUBLIC NOTICE
Coushatta Tribe
of Indians
Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a Floodplain and Wetland
This is to give notice that the Coushatta Tribe of Indians has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplains and Wetlands, to determine the potential affect that its activity in a 100-year floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for building improvements under the Louisiana Community Development Block Grant Program.
The funding will be used to construct a new Education Center that will provide the Tribe with a facility that can provide the following but not limited to K-12 Education Programs, kids tutoring, college student research opportunities, elderly programs, and medical services, if necessary. The proposed construction will consist of land development, necessary utility connections, 17,000 square foot education facility inclusive of all necessary activities associated with a new building, an emergency back-up generator and fuel supply, and all other ancillary activities including parking, landscaping, lighting, security system, and signage.
The Tribe has reevaluated the alternatives to building in a floodplain and wetland and has determined that it has no practicable alternatives to the proposed action. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons: (i) there are no historical or cultural deposits within the project, (ii) there are no man-made or natural hazards that will endanger the public, (iii) there are no activities that will adversely affect endangered species and/or scenic streams/rivers, (iv) the floodplain and wetlands will not be adversely affected by any activity.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in the floodplain and wetland. 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. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about the floodplain and wetland 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 the floodplain and wetland, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana at the following address on or before January 18, 2023: Jonathan Cernek, Chairman, 1940 CC Bel Road, Elton, LA 70532. The Tribe can be contacted by phone at 337-584-1401. A full description of the project may also be reviewed at the Tribe’s Administration Building located at 1940 CC Bel Road, Elton, LA 70532.
The Coushatta Tribe of Indians is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
