Early NOTICE AND PUBLIC Review OF A
PROPOSED ACTIVITY IN A floodplain and wetland
Town of Kinder
Nixon Addition Drainage Improvements
Louisiana Watershed Initiative
Community Development Block Grant- Disaster Recovery Program
Issue Date: January 30, 2025
To: All Interested Federal, State, and Local Agencies, Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the Town of Kinder 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 Floodplain and Wetland Management, to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain/wetland will have on the human environment for the following project. The Town will be committing Disaster funds, under the Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) Funding, the Further Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2018 (Pub. L. 115-123, approved February 9, 2018) in accordance with the Notice published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2019., to undertake a project known as the “Nixon Addition Drainage Improvements”.
The proposed project includes the following work tasks: stormwater park and pumping station, new levee and ditch to divert and re-route off-site runoff and stormwater gate structures. The Town of Kinder has determined that approximately 58 acres of the drainage improvements project will be located in or adjacent to floodplains; and will be in or adjacent to a riverine per the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory Map.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains 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. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains/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/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 February 15, 2025: Town of Kinder, P.O. Box 947, Kinder, Louisiana 70648 and (337) 738-2620, Attention: Honorable Wayland LaFargue, Mayor. A full description of the project may also be reviewed Monday thru Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM at 333 N 8th St., Kinder, Louisiana 70648. Comments may also be submitted via email at traci.fontenot@townofkinder.com
