NOTICE OF EXPLANATION

The City of Celina, Tennessee, intends to rehabilitate portions of its water system through a Community Development Block Grant Program.  The project is needed in order to reduce the excessive water loss problem the system is experiencing.  Portions of the project are in the 100-year floodplain.  There is no practical alternative to the proposed project as designed to rehabilitate the water system.  The proposed project conforms to all applicable State floodplain protection standards.  Standard construction and engineering practices will be utilized to ensure that there will be no impeding of stream flow, and flood levels will not increase as a result of the project. Minimization efforts will be taken to disturb the landscape as little as possible and stream banks will be restored to their natural state after the lines are replaced.  Therefore, the project will not affect natural or beneficial floodplain values.  Failure to provide these improvements would result in the continued water loss currently experienced by the water system.  The other agency involved in this project is the State of Tennessee with funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and local matching funds through the City of Celina.
