These Notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural
requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Des
Plaines.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about November 4, 2009 the City of Des Plaines will submit
a request to the HUD Chicago Field Office for the release of PY2008
CDBG-R and PY2009 CDBG Program funds under Title I of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a
project known as the Infrastructure Improvement Program, for the
purpose of installing water pipes for fire hydrants at 815 E. Oakton
St. The estimated funding for the project is $287,029.00.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of Des Plaines 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 (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Additional project
information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on
file at Des Plaines City Hall, 1420 Miner St., Department of

weekdays 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

RELEASE OF FUNDS
The City of Des Plaines certifies to HUD/Chicago Field Office
that Jon Duddles in his capacity as Assistant Director of Public
Works and Engineering 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. HUD'S/ Chicago Field Office's
acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under
NEPA and allows the City of Des Plaines to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD/Chicago Field Office will accept objections to its release of
funds and the City of Des Plaines certification for a period of
fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual
receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of

Certifying Officer of the City of Des Plaines; (b) the (RE) 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 has
incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a
release of funds by HUD/Chicago Field Office; 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) and shall
be addressed to the Director of CPD at the HUD/Chicago Field Office
