Combined Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Notice of Intent to Request a Release of Funds

September 2, 2026

Town of Lane, 340 S. Lane Rd, Lane, SC 29564
843-387-5151

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Town of Lane.

 

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about September 21, 2026, the Town of Lane will submit a request to the SC Department of Commerce/Grants Administration Division for the release of CDBG funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as Lane Sewer Connections for the purpose of connecting 54 LMI households to the public sewer system and decommission their existing septic tanks. The proposed project will also decommission the septic tanks of 10 additional LMI households that are already connected to the public sewer system. There is a total of 64 LMI households. The total cost of this project is $405,752 with CDBG funds totaling $365,177.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The Town of Lane has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Town of Lane, 340 S. Lane Rd, Lane, SC 29564 and Waccamaw Regional Council of Governments, 1230 Highmarket Street, Georgetown, SC 29440 and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 A.M to 5:00 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Mayor of Lane, Charlie Fulton. All comments received by September 21, 2026, will be considered by the Town of Lane prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The Town of Lane certifies to SC Department of Commerce/Grants Administration Division that Charlie Fulton in his capacity as Mayor of Lane consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The SC Department of Commerce/Grants Administration Division approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the Town of Lane to use Program funds.

 

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

The SC Department of Commerce/Grants Administration Division will accept objections to its release of funds and the Town of Lane's certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the Town of Lane; (b) the Town of Lane has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the Department of Commerce/Grants Administration Division; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to SC Department of Commerce/Grants Administration Division at 1201 Main Street, Suite 1600, Columbia, SC, 29201. Potential objectors should contact SC Department of Commerce/Grants Administration Division to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
