NOTICE TO PUBLIC OF NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT Date: March 10, 2010 The Letcher County Fiscal Court 156 Main ST, STE 107, Whitesburg, KY 41858 606-633-2190 TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS, AND PERSONS: On or about April 15, 2010, the above Letcher County Fiscal Court will finalize the Environmental Review for the following project: Pioneer Horse Trail Project This project will construct approximately 15 miles of loop trail for equestrian traffic along and adjacent to the ridge line of Pine Mountain in Letcher County. Census Tracts 950400 and 950500 The County will also request the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife for permission to proceed with trail development. It has been determined that such request will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of human environment and, accordingly, the above named county has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL-91-190). The reasons for the decision not to prepare an Impact Statement are as follows: Upon review of the project it was determined that no significant impact on any aspect of the environment would occur as a result of the completion of this project. An Environmental Review Record respecting the within project has been made by the above named Letcher County Fiscal Court which documents the methods and process used in the completion of the environmental review of the project and more fully sets forth the reasons why such statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is on file at the above address and is available for public examination and copying, upon request, in the County Judge Executive’s office between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. No further environmental review of this project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for permission to proceed. All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration to the Office of the Judge Executive at the above address. Such written comments should be received no later than 4:00 PM on April 12th, 2010. All such comments so received will be considered and the Letcher County Fiscal Court will not request permission to proceed or take any administrative action on the above project prior to the date specified on the proceeding sentence. The Letcher County Fiscal Court will undertake the project described above with county and state funds. The Fiscal Court is certifying to the state that the Fiscal Court and Jim Ward, in his official capacity as County Judge Executive consent to accept the jurisdiction of the state courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, decision making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval the Fiscal Court will have satisfied their responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The state will accept an objection to its approval only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) The certification was not in fact executed by the county’s Certifying Officer. (b) The county has to make one of the two findings pursuant to S58.41 or to make the written determination decision required by SS578.57, 58.53 or 58.64 for the project, as applicable. (c) The county has omitted one or more of the steps set forth at Subparts F and G for the preparation and completion of an EA. (d) No opportunity was given to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation or its Executive Director to review the effect of the project on a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places, or found to be eligible for such listing by the Secretary of the Interior, in accordance with 36 CFR Part 800. (e) Objections have been made by a federal agency. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (40 CFR Part 1500-1517) and may be addressed to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Services, #1 Sportsman’s Lane, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. Objections to the environmental release on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by the state. No objection received after April 12, 2010 will be considered by the state.
