Public Notice: Pre-disaster Mitigation Grant Program Project
Office of the Board of County Commissioners, Hamilton County, Ohio. Notice is hereby given that Delhi Township in conjunction with the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has applied for a Pre-disaster Mitigation Grant Program Project for the acquisition, demolition, and restoration of nine (9) properties along Rapid Run Road. The properties range from 5609 to 5637 Rapid Run Road (odd numbered addresses only), inclusively. The Board of County Commissioners of Hamilton County, Ohio, through the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD), is assisting with the grant with matching funds in conjunction with the MSD Water-in-Basement Prevention Program (WIBPP).
Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), EO 11988 and EO 11990, public notice is required of any federal actions that affect floodplains or wetlands. All necessary permits will be obtained prior to construction and completion of the project.
The objectives of the Pre-disaster Mitigation Grant Program are to prevent future losses of lives and property, to implement state or local Hazard Mitigation plans, to enable mitigation measures to be implemented during immediate recovery from disaster, and to provide funding for identified and approved hazard mitigation projects.
Public participation is encouraged. Interested parties and/or citizens are invited to comment on the project either in writing or via e-mail to: Amanda Ratliff, Regional Environmental Officer, FEMA Region V, 536 South Clark Street, 6th Floor, Chicago, IL 60605, amanda.ratliff@dhs.gov.
