PUBLIC NOTICE FINAL NOTICE OF ACTION IN FLOODPLAINS AND WETLANDS TOWN OF URBANA ? CURTISS PARK IMPROVEMENTS USDA Rural Development ? Rural Housing Service (RHS) This notice serves as the Final Public Notice regarding USDA Rural Development's decision related to the Curtiss Park Improvements project in the Town of Urbana, Steuben County, New York. The Town of Urbana has requested financial assistance from USDA Rural Development, Rural Housing Service (RHS), for park and recreational infrastructure improvements. A Preliminary Notice describing potential impacts to floodplains and wetlands was previously published, and a public comment period was provided consistent with Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management), Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands), and USDA Departmental Regulation 9500-3. No comments were received that required modification of the project. The project includes installation of an ADA-accessible floating kayak launch and gangway; permeable-paver ADA parking; stone parking and access drives; pedestrian walkways; stormwater treatment features, including bioretention areas and dry ponds; site lighting; landscaping; lawn establishment; and minor grading, utility work, and erosion controls. A suspended ADA walkway segment will cross a narrow wetland area without placing fill or altering wetland hydrology. USDA Rural Development has determined that: ? There is no practicable alternative to locating portions of the project within the 100-year floodplain (FEMA Zone AE) and adjacent wetland areas. ? The project has been designed to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts through use of permeable surfaces, elevated walkway structures, minimal grading, and improvements to stormwater management and site ecology. ? The action will not adversely affect floodplain or wetland function, and environmental benefits will result from stormwater and habitat enhancements. Accordingly, USDA Rural Development intends to proceed with funding the project. Environmental documentation is available for public inspection at: USDA Rural Development ?
