FINAL PUBLIC NOTICE

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has received the subgrant application for Ammons Road Culverts repair due to damages in Hurricane Sally (DR-4564-FL PW 405). Pursuant to Executive Order 11988 and 44 CFR Part 9.12, final notice is hereby given of FEMA’s intent to provide funding for this project under the Public Assistance (PA) Program.

An initial disaster-wide Public Notice was published September 23, 2020. for Hurricane Sally. Comments and other information received were fully evaluated by FEMA along with evaluation of social, economic, environmental, and safety considerations. This notice serves as a project-specific final notice for FEMA’s funding action located within the floodplain.

Funding for the proposed project will be conditional upon compliance with all applicable federal, tribal, state and local laws, regulations, floodplain standards, permit requirements and conditions. This action complies with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements.

Responsible Entity: FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Program

Applicant: Holmes County

Project Title(s): PA-04-FL-4564-PW-00405; Ammons Road Culverts

Location of Proposed Work: 30.74058, -85.96071

Floodplain: Project is located in the A/AE Zone otherwise known as the area of 1 percent annual chance of flooding, Holmes County FIRM Panels #12059C0305D dated 12/17/2010 and #12131C0305G dated 09/29/2010

Proposed Work and Purpose:

During Hurricane Sally, flooding from heavy rains damaged the corrugated metal pipe (CMP) triple elliptical culvert system constructed with stacked sand/cement at the intersection of Ammons Road and Cow Branch Creek. In order to avoid a repetition of erosion from future storm events and to allow road accessibility to vehicles during flooding events, Holmes County proposes to; replace the three culverts with an upsized prefabricated single concrete box culvert, extend the two cement headwalls, reprofile/lower a segment of the roadway to form a 100-ft wide Low Water Crossing (LWC) and add riprap upstream/downstream/along roadway pavement. These repairs and improvements will help facilitate drainage and provide protection against debris and sediment from obstructing the facility in the future. The County performed a Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) Study and determined there would not be any significant impact to downstream reaches of Cow Branch Creek.

Project Alternatives:

The alternative that has been considered is the no action alternative. This alternative is not feasible as the area will remain vulnerable to flood risk, including property damage and hazards to human life and safety. With the no action alternative, continued negative impacts on adjacent infrastructure, property, residents, and the community may be experienced. Alternate locations were not considered as the culvert is functionally dependent on its location. Project will not, on either a long-term or short-term basis, adversely impact base flood levels, floodplain functions, resources, or characteristics.

Comments:

This will serve as the final public notice regarding the above-described action funded by the FEMA PA program. Interested persons may submit comments, questions, or request a map of this specific project by writing to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region 4, 3005 Chamblee-Tucker Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30341 or by emailing [email protected]. Comments should be sent in writing with the subject line FL-4564-PW-00405, Holmes County at the above address within 15 days of the date of this notice.
