Jackson, 4'h Flr. <br /> Chicago, IL 60604 <br /> Dear Jeanne: <br /> Enclosed is an application packet for a proposed Hazard Mitigation Grant Program <br /> project under DDI 187 by the City of Saint Anthony. An area of the City has experienced <br /> recurring damage after intense, short duration rainfalls due to inadequate storm sewer <br /> capacity. The City is proposing to solve the problem by acquiring and demolishing five <br /> homes from willing sellers, and then constructing three small, dry stormwater ponds. <br /> • We have conducted a benefit/cost analysis which demonstrates the project would be cost- <br /> effective. In our opinion the project would qualify for categorical exclusion from further <br /> environmental review under categories (vii) & (xvi). <br /> The City has not been participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (no mapped <br /> flood plain), but has recently submitted an application to join. <br /> Thanks for your consideration of this request. Should you have any questions, please <br /> contact me at 612-296-0469 or Steve Prestin at 612-296-2007. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Terri Smith <br /> State Hazard Mitigation Officer <br /> Enclosure <br /> cc:VK4ike Mornson, City Administrator <br /> • Todd Hubmer, Consulting Engineer <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
