Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds

Responsible Entity City/County Date of Notice
150 Longfellow Street North 541-473-3133
Address Telephone Number
Vale Oregon 97918
City State Zip
On or about December 12, 2022, City of Vale will submit a Request for Release of Funds (RROF) to the Oregon Business Development Department (OBDD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as amended, for its housing rehabilitation program. The purpose of Vale’s housing rehabilitation program is to use it to perform repair and rehabilitation of existing single-family, owner-occupied units located in Vale, Nyssa, Ontario and Malheur County. Annually, the program rehabilitates over 20 low- to-moderate-income homes with approximately $295,000 of CDBG funds.
Specific locations of individual units to be rehabilitated cannot be determined prior to the completion of the Area-Wide Environmental Review and the RROF. For the housing rehabilitation activities proposed City of Vale is using a Tiered Environmental Review format and process proposed under HUD Regulations for the National Environmental Policy Act at 24 CFR Part 58.15.
In this first tier, a broad area-wide statutory review of the housing rehabilitation program has identified laws and authorities that we have determined will not be triggered by the location of the rehab program. These laws include: Floodplain Management (24 CFR Part 55 and Executive Order 11988), The Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, The Clean Air Act, The Farmland Protection Policy Act of 1981, The Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898, The Noise Abatement and Control Standard (24 CFR part 51B) and The Explosive and Flammable Operations Standard (24 CFR Part 51C), Wetland Protection (Executive Order 11990), Sole Source Aquifers (The Safe Drinking Water Act, 40 CFR Part 149), The Endangered Species Act (50 CFR Part 402), Airport Clear Zones and Accident Potential Zones (24 CFR Part 51D)
In the second tier review, City of Vale identified laws and authorities that must be analyzed with site-specific environmental review checklists for each property location. These laws include: Historic Preservation (36 CFR Part 800), Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, and Toxic Chemicals and Radioactive Materials (24 CFR, Part 58.5(i)).
An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project, along with a copy of Harney Malheur Residential Housing Rehabilitation Program policies and processes to be followed for site specific reviews, is on file, and may be examined or copied weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at: 150 Longfellow Street North, Vale, Oregon.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Mayor of Vale. All comments received by December 7, 2022 will be considered by City of Vale prior to submission of a request for release of funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS: OBDD will accept an objections to its approval of the release of funds and the City of Vale certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or actual receipt of the request for release of funds (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases:
OBDD will accept objections to its Release of Funds only if they are based on one of the following:
A. The certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of City of Vale.
B. City of Vale has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58.
C. City of Vale has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by OBDD.
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 procedure (24 CFR Part 58), and shall be addressed to OBDD at 775 Summer Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, OR 97301-1280.
Objections to the release of funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by OBDD.
Potential objectors should contact OBDD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. It is estimated that any objection received after December 28, 2022 will not be considered by OBDD.
