Thursday, September 16th, 2021 -- 12:01 PM

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced the City of Greenwood is an applicant for funding through the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program to address deficiencies in its public drinking water system.

The project primarily focuses on the installation of a second transmission main to improve the water distribution system in the City of Greenwood. Activities related to this project are minor actions under Chapter NR 150, Wis. Admin. Code, for which no environmental analysis is required; however, following the SDWLP federal requirement 40 C.F.R. §35.3580, an environmental review must be conducted before funding this project.

The SDWLP has determined that the project will not result in significant adverse environmental effects, and no further environmental review or analysis is needed before proceeding with funding the project.

The public is encouraged to submit comments regarding this decision and the potential environmental impacts of this project. Submit comments by September 29th to the Department of Natural Resources, C/O Kevin Olson, Community Financial Assistance, CF/2, 101 S Webster St., P.O. Box 7921,Madison, WI 53707 or Phone 608-234-2238 or Email [email protected].

Based on the comments received, the SDWLP may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the funding process. The analysis would summarize the DNR’s consideration of the project's impacts and reasonable alternatives.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
