8. Briefly Describe the Proposed Project. Is it a priority based on the health, safety or welfare of the community?
`The project includes the construction of a 102,000 gallons water storage tank to replace an existing rusted storage tank,
construction of a building to house the current reverse osmosis treatment plant, replacement of the controls and piping,
looping of the existing distributions lines, install shut-off values and gas heater.
The priority is based on health and welfare issues. First the existing water system has some dead ends in the distribution
. systems causing some water quality issues and the existing water storage tank has deteriorated as the result of rust that
it is essentially not repairable and needs to be replaced. The existing tank size is also inadequate to handle to water
demands of the community, so the Association imposes water restriction from time to time. The existing building for the
water treatment is an old tin shed that needs to be demolished. The overall welfare of this low income community will
improve by having an up-to -date reliable water system. With the exception on the reverse osmosis plant and water
meters, most of the piping and distribution system is over 50 years old.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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.
Read through this section thoroughly and direct any questions to the appropriate contact person listed at the bottom of the
following page. In addition, the "Environmental Review Worksheet" on the following page must be completed and
included with the final application.
24 CFR Part 58.22 Limitations on activities pending clearance.
(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 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 nsk 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.
(f) 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.

E. OTHER PROJECT INFORMATION
1. Why is the project needed? What are the specific goals of the project?
Project will eliminate old rusted water storage tank, loop dead ends in distribution system to improve water quality,
replace tin shed used as water treatment plant and replace old lines within the water treatment plant, install shut off
values to isolate water distribution system to make repairs and install a gas heater to prevent freezing of lines within the
treatment plant. The goal of the project is to provide potable water to its customers, eliminate issues with water quality at
dead ends in the distributionlystem and with the rusted storage tank.
2 How were the cost estimates arrived at? Have preliminary architectural/engineering studies been completed?
What additional design work must still be completed? Use the "Physical Improvements Cost Estimate
Worksheet" attached at the end of this section, for projects involving structures other than single-family
_housing.)
FThe costs have been determined by JVA Inc, an engineering firm, hired to prepare an Preliminary Engineering Report
I (PER). The PER was completed on December 9, 2014. The final design of the proposed project will be undertaken
once funding is committed to the project
3. Haveyou included Davis-Bacon wage rates in preparation of your cost estimates?F Yes XXX No —
If no, why not? The engineering report was prepared for USDA and Davis Bacon wages
are not applicable. The pricing used was using the Denver metro costs, so the expenses
will be fairly close to costs associated with Davis Bacon wages
4. Describe any in-kind contributions by type and value in support of this project.
The administrative functions will be administered interiorly with the assistance of the Colorado Rural Water Association
Circuit Rider.
a. Was the cash value of the in-kind contributions calculated into the Project Budget I Yes XXX No
(B.1.)? I
5. Why can't the project be funded locally? What is the consequence if the project receives no funding? The l
Wattenberg Improvement Association does not have adequate funds in its fund balance to fund the project. Most of the
residents in the service area are low income residents and the current water rates are some of the highest in the State.
If funding is not committed. the water system will continue to make minor improvements to the system to continue to
provide potable to its residents, but because of the major deficiencies in the system, like rusting storage tank, the system
will likely get an enforcement order from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment in the very near
future. __I
a. What other funding alternatives have been explored? The Association submitted an application for funding to the
Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment in early December 2014 and unfortunately was not awarded any I
funding. The Association has submitted the engineering and environmental reports to USDA Rural Development for
funding consideration. Based on initial information, the Association would have to take a loan of at least 55% of the
proposed project, which would increase the users rates beyond the residents ability to repay. The Association will apply
to USDA to fund the applicant's proposed contribution if CDBG funding is committed. —
b. Did the applicant jurisdiction take the full property tax revenue increase in the current ' X Yes No
budget year?YES
6. Describe local commitment to the project,including local fees or regulations, local taxing efforts to address continuing
development and maintenance needs. and local citizen support. The Association will increase its user water rates to all
of its customers to cover the operational costs as well as the additional debt service requirements proposed in this
project.
7. If the project is funded, will there be on-going.operational costs for the project?
_Yes.

citizens to review and comment on its performance in carrying out its CDBG program.
A formal public hearing will be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area at least five (5) days
prior to such public hearings. A public notice will also be posted in the Office of the Clerk to the Board and in
other places frequented by the public, especially low and moderate income persons and persons benefiting from

communication aids can be made available to persons upon request.

request assistance in developing CDBG proposals. The level and type of assistance appropriate will be
determined by the County based on its ability to provide or arrange for such assistance, the cost of providing such
assistance and other relevant factors.
