The proposed action would mitigate impacts from flood hazards by installing five emergency backup generators and upgrading one pump at existing pump stations. Pursuant to Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management) and FEMA’s implementing regulations at Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 9, FEMA hereby provides interested parties with a notice of its intent to carry out an action affecting a floodplain.

The purpose of the proposed action is to reduce flood hazards. The proposed action would occur at five pump station locations and consists of installing a new gas generator and upgrading the existing pump at one location, replacing an existing generator with a new gas generator at another location, and installing new gas generators at three other locations. The generators would be installed with new gas connections, automatic transfer switches, and electrical connections with new electrical service. The proposed generators would be placed on concrete pads. Services would feed from the public right-of-way to each site with new gas meters installed
