Environmental Assessment for Village of Millerton for Wastewater System Project and Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact, EPA No. N2025194

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Preliminary Finding of No Significant (FONSI) for public review and comment for 30 calendar days before making the decision on whether, and if so how, to proceed with a proposed action. The EA evaluated the issuance of a Community Grant award to the Village of Millerton for Wastewater System Project.

The project components would include construction of a new wastewater treatment plant associated infrastructure including installation of sewer mains, lateral connections, and a treated effluent discharge pipe into Webatuck creek. Congress appropriated $959,752 earmarked for the Village of Millerton under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (P.L. 1187 – 122) to the Wastewater System Project.

EPA considered two alternatives for the Proposed Project: The Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative, which are analyzed in this EA pursuant to Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and EPA’s NEPA procedures under 40 CFR part 6. The EA did not identify significant effects to resources as a result of implementing either the Proposed Action or the No Action Alternative. However, EPA will consider public and agency comments prior to making its decision regarding implementation of the proposed project. After evaluating any comments received, EPA will make a final decision. The preliminary decision and finding will become final after the 30-day comment period expires if no new significant information is provided to alter this finding.

The Draft EA and Preliminary FONSI is available for download from EPA’s NEPA Compliance Database at https://cdxapps.epa.gov/cdx-enepa-II/public/action/nepa/details?nepaId=512842.
