Explain how the proposed project will address recovery and/or resilience needs in your community either independently or as part of a larger project. Include a description of the desired outcome and the recovery objective(s) to be achieved. This narrative should describe the CDBG-DR Eligible Activity. In an effort to achieve resiliency from the severe storms, to minimize risk to the general public and also be proactive in sustaining recovery, Weld County performed the following permanent repairs on FHWA roadways : De-watering , soil stabilization and removal of damaged infrastructure ; reconstruction of washed out roadway, embankment, sub grade , ABC . topsoil and roadside ditch grading : and replacement of rip-rap for scour protection at bridge abutments in the main channel . CDBG funds are needed to be applied towards the Weld County Local FHWA Match for the work that was conducted . All FHWA permanent projects were covered under the attached Weld County Detailed Damage Inspection Reports ( DDIR ) and were vital for Weld County to clear hazardous debris and enhance their infrastructure, river embankments, and roadways .

Connection to Disler Recovery CDBG's Disaster Recovery funds must be used for necessary expenses related to disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, economic revitalization, and mitigation from future damages.. The activity must show a direct link to damages received during one or more of the events listed in Table 1 of the Guidelines. Please provide a brief explanation of how the proposed acquisition activity: (1) was a result of the disaster event; (2) will restore infrastructure or revitalize the economy; or will (3) mitigate future damages. During the incident period of September 11 , 2013 to September 30 , 2013, extreme rain amounts caused significant damage to FHWA roads and floodwaters washed out FHWA roadways, damaged scour protection at bridge abutments and damaged sections of roadway shoulder. Weld County conducted Permanent repair work to FHWA roadways . . .� �� , 4n Cnn rrn rJ.r r. n ✓+ � rnnr✓r..rJn nv% I . r�r. - . � r++ rr\r, .- fir` l� 2. Compliance with National Objectives State recipients receiving allocations under the CDBG-DR program must certify that their projected use of funds will ensure, and maintain evidence, that each of its activities assisted with CDBG-DR funds meets at least one of the three National Objectives. a) Which of the National Objectives are met by proposed project? !/i Will benefit low and moderate income (LMI) persons; or II Will aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or ✓ 1 Is an Urgent Need in which meet community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. b) How will the proposed project meet the above checked National Objective(s). See attached LMI data for the Project. In addition to the LMI data attached , the State of Colorado (according to ACS 2008-2012 5Y) lists Weld County at a 41 .0% LMI . A large percentage of the community benefited from the proactive work by Weld County and the permanent work done at the this FHWA site location . In reviewing the LMI data for this Project NOI , the direct impact average on the LMI population was around 25 . 18% . However, this percentage does not accurately capture the total number of service areas that are either directly or indirectly impacted by the FHWA Match Projects. The work/repairs that were made under the Detailed Damage Inspection Reports ( DDIR's) for the Local FHWA Match drastically reduced hazardous conditions for the general public and enabled Weld County to focus on resiliency efforts post storm . It is believed that the service areas for FHWA Project Site Locations benefited multiple LMI tract sections, not just one directly and thus a higher weighted percentage of over 50% should be noted for this project due to Nature and Location of the activities that were completed and also factoring in the accessibility for the FHWA Site Locations that benefited the surrounding areas of Weld County . The indirect impacts on the FHWA Project Sites had benefit implications county-wide and not just one specific service area .

Page 4 of 20 air N't CDBG-DR Infrastructure Application Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management 3. Compliance with the primary objective. As indicated in the Guidelines: "A proposed project's benefits to LMI persons will be an important factor in evaluating potential infrastructure projects. A total of 20% of the Recover Colorado Infrastructure project funding must benefit LMI persons. Due to the very low percentage of LMI projects submitted in the first round of infrastructure funding, it is estimated that approximately 25% to 30% of the funding available in this second allocation must meet the LMI requirement to make up for the deficit." This section does not need to be completed if the project does not meet this National Objective. The primary objective for using CDBG Disaster Recovery funds is benefitting, by at least 51 percent, persons of low and moderate income. The following section provides the information necessary to complete this requirement. a) Is the proposed activity: f jurisdiction wide EI specified target area If you checked specified target area, which data source was used? (Note: select the smallest unit of Census data that encompasses your proposed target area.) b) Enter the number of households involved in the proposed project. 99,317 c) In the space below, describe how the applicant will comply with the requirement that at least 51 percent of CDBG-DR dollars will principally benefit low- and moderate-income households and persons. Weld County will comply with the 51 % requirement due to the fact that the DDIR's associated under this NOI Project for the FHWA County Match are targeted to areas of the county that qualify as LMI . The justification behind this methodology is that multiple d) Enter the number of households within each income category expected to benefit from the proposed project. Incomes above 80% of the County Median 275 Incomes above 50% and up to 80% of the County Median 695 Incomes at or below 50% of the County Median 1695 e) Which type of income was used to determine the above?

Financial / Fiscal Health Factors: Please indicate the total budget (all funds) of your organization. Please describe the impact of disaster recovery efforts to date on this budget. In addition, if this objective is selected based on the local governments inability to finance the activity, the municipality must also include in the application package a resolution stating this fact and supporting documentation such as budgetary information, a description of TABOR restrictions, and the most recent audit report or approved exemption from audit. Weld County's total 2015 budget is $307 , 031 , 089 .00 . The impact of the September, 2013 flooding has primary been on the damage to the county's road and bridge system . The damage has resulted in Weld County having to transfer $5 million from the Contingency Fund to the Public Works Fund in 2013 and in 2014 for a total of $ 10 million dollars. Without assistance from FEMA, FWHA, and CDBG the amount would have several million more . The impact has also forced the county to shift local resources from projects unrelated to flooding to deal with the emergency situations created by the flood in both the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years . Even in 2015 5he county still using local resources to recover from the flooding . Fortunately, Weld County has always been fiscally conservative and budgeted responsibly .

I PART B — APPLICATION : ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 1. Environmental Review Background Information & Environmental Review Worksheet: In accordance with 24 CFR Part 58.22 (see below), all federally funded projects must accomplish an environmental review prior to beginning any work on a project. These HUD regulations are in place for two purposes: 1 . To ensure federal funds are used to place people of low and moderate income in environmentally safe conditions; and 2. To ensure federal funds are NOT used to negatively impact environmental conditions that exist near a project site. Please note the following limitations on CDBG-DR grant activities pending environmental clearance per 24 CFR Part 58.22. (a) Neither a recipient nor any participant in the development process, including public or private nonprofit or for-profit entities, or any of their contractors, may commit HUD assistance under a program listed in Sec. 58. 1(b) on an activity or project until HUD or the state has approved the recipient's RROF and the related certification from the responsible entity. In addition, until the RROF and the related certification have been approved, neither a recipient nor any participant in the development process may commit non-HUD funds on or undertake an activity or project under a program listed in Sec. 58. 1(b) if the activity or project would have an adverse environmental impact or limit the choice of reasonable alternatives. (b) N/A for DOLA/CDPS projects. (c) If a recipient is considering an application from a prospective sub-recipient or beneficiary and is aware that the prospective sub-recipient or beneficiary is about to take an action within the jurisdiction of the recipient that is prohibited by paragraph (a) of this section, then the recipient will take appropriate action to ensure that the objectives and procedures of NEPA are achieved. (d) An option agreement on a proposed site or property is allowable prior to the completion of the environmental review if the option agreement is subject to a determination by the recipient on the desirability of the property for the project as a result of the completion of the environmental review in accordance with this part and the cost of the option is a nominal portion of the purchase price. There is no constraint on the purchase of an option by third parties that have not been selected for HUD funding, have no responsibility for the environmental review and have no say in the approval or disapproval of the project. (e) Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP). In accordance with section 11(d)(2)(A) of the Housing Opportunity Program Extension Act of 1996 (42 U.S.C. 12805 note), an organization, consortium, or affiliate receiving assistance under the SHOP program may advance non-grant funds to acquire land prior to completion of an environmental review and approval of a Request for Release of Funds (RROF) and certification, notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this section. Any advances to acquire land prior to approval of the RROF and certification are made at the risk of the organization, consortium, or affiliate and reimbursement for such advances may depend on the result of the environmental review. This authorization is limited to the SHOP program only and all other forms of HUD assistance are subject to the limitations in paragraph (a) of this section. (1) Relocation. Funds may be committed for relocation assistance before the approval of the RROF and related certification for the project provided that the relocation assistance is required by 24 CFR part 42.
