issues to be identified and addressed in the site-specific review phase include historic 
preservation, special flood hazard areas, and contamination and toxic substances. An 
Environmental Review Record (ERR) is on file at the LACDA, which documents the 
environmental review process for each of the programs described above. Please submit 
your request by U.S. mail to Donald Dean, Environmental Officer, Los Angeles County 
Development Authority, 700 West Main Street, Alhambra, CA 91801 or by email to

mailed to donald.dean@lacda.org, and must be received before 5:00 P.M., May 5, 2026. 
All written comments received will be considered by the LACDA prior to forwarding the

proposed actions are being addressed. RELEASE OF FUNDS The County of Los Angeles 
will undertake the project described above with Community Development Block Grant 
(CDBG) funds from HUD under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act 
of 1974, (PL 93-383), as amended. The County of Los Angeles is certifying to HUD that 
the County of Los Angeles and the Executive Office, Clerk of the Board, agree to accept 
the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an appropriate action is brought to enforce 
regulatory requirements relating to the environmental review, decision-making and 
implementation, and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of 
the certification is that, upon its approval, federal funds may be used, and HUD will have 
satisfied its responsibilities under the NEPA. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD 
will accept objections to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the 
certification only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not 
executed by the Certifying Officer or other officer of the applicant approved by HUD; (b) 
the LACDA has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD 
regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred 
costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; 
and (d) another federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a 
written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental 
quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the 
required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to the HUD Los 
Angeles Office, Region IX at CPDLA@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact the
