To: All interested Agencies, Groups, and Individuals
This is to give notice that the City of Aliceville has determined that the following proposed action under ADECA’s ARC Program Project No. AL-22588-2025 is located in the 100 Year Floodplain, and the City of Aliceville will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the 100 Year Floodplain and the potential impacts on the 100 Year Floodplain from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order(s) 11988 and 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. The project includes the replacement and installation of water pipes, valves, hydrants, and flush stands. The 6” waterline will be installed by horizontal directional drilling beneath the existing box culvert and will not adversely affect the approximately 0.08 acres of floodplain/wetland. The proposed project is located at Broad Street, between Memorial Parkway and 3rd Ave NW in the City of Aliceville, Pickens County.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in the 100 Year Floodplain 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. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the 100 Year Floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about the 100 Year Floodplain can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts 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 the 100 Year Floodplain, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the City of Aliceville at the following address on or before 2/5/2026: City of Aliceville, 419 Memorial Parkway East, Aliceville, AL 35442 and 205/373-6611, Attention: Terrence Windham, Mayor. A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at the same location as above. Comments may also be submitted via email at: dmccaa.aliceville@gmail.com.
