Notice is hereby given that FEMA plans to assist the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) in the replacement and relocation of a septic drainfield at Cape Lookout State Park, near Tillamook, Oregon. Federal financial assistance would be provided pursuant to the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended (The Stafford Act).

 

FEMA prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed project pursuant to the

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and FEMA’s implementing regulations. The Draft EA will be finalized after agency and public review and input. The EA evaluates alternatives for compliance with applicable environmental laws, including: Executive Orders #11988 (Floodplain Management), #11990 (Protection of Wetlands), #12898 (Environmental Justice), and #13084 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments). The alternatives evaluated in the EA include: (1) partial funding for the replacement and relocation of the campground’s drainfield system that was damaged during winter storms in 2007, and (2) no action.

 

This notice will constitute as the final notice as required by Executive Order 11988, Floodplain

Management, and Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands. If no significant issues are identified during the comment period, FEMA will finalize the EA, issue a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), and fund the project.
