FOR ACTIVITIES SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDINGS OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS Date of publication or posting: 3/30/2026 City of Waupun 201 E Main Street Waupun, WI 53963, US 920-324-7900 TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: The above-named grantee has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the following project. The EA is on file at Waupun City Hall and is available for public examination and copying. Electronic files can be requested by email at ltruong@msa-ps.com. Project Name: Street and Utility Improvement Project – North Grove and Park Street Project Location: N. Grove Street (E. Franklin Street to Park Street) and Park Street (N. Watertown to N. Grove Street) The City of Waupun, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin 53963, US Estimated Cost of Project: Over $1,500,000 Nature/Purpose of Project: The City of Waupun, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin will be committing Community Development Block Grant funds to undertake the project known as the Street and Utility Improvement Project – North Grove and Park Street. The project involves the reconstruction and construction of public utilities (sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer) and street infrastructure within the defined project area. This project is being proposed because the street and utilities within the project area have or are approaching their useful life. Because the underground utilities need to be improved, a full reconstruction of the roadway would be the most beneficial option. The UGLG has determined that such request for release of funds will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and, accordingly, the UGLG has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-190). The reason for such a decision is because the project will have no/low impact on the environment. A FONSI is necessary to document environmental assessment findings. The environmental assessment findings are regarding the increase upsize and increase the capacity of the utility infrastructure. All agencies, groups or individuals disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments to the above address. Such written comments should be received on or before 4/15/2026. All such comments will be considered, and the UGLG will not request the release of federal funds or begin the project prior to such date. On or about 5/3/2026, the UGLG will request the Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources (DEHCR) to release Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (PL 93-383) as amended for this project. The UGLG is certifying to DEHCR that it and its chief executive officer, in his/her official capacity as Mayor, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an action is brought to enforce environmental review responsibilities, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. Upon certification, the UGLG may use the CDBG funds, and DEHCR will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. DEHCR will accept an objection to the release of funds and certification only if (a) the certification was not executed by the chief executive officer or other officer of the UGLG approved by DEHCR; or (b) the UGLG's EA indicates omissions of a required decision, finding, or step. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with 24 CFR 58, and may be addressed to the Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources, Attention: Environmental Desk, P.O. Box 7970, Madison, WI 53707-7970. Objections for reasons other than those stated above will not be considered by DEHCR. No objections received after 5/2/2026 will be considered by DEHCR. Rohn W.
