24 CFR Part 58–Environmental Review Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD Environmental Responsibilities
§ 58.47 Re-evaluation of Environmental Assessments and Other Environmental Findings (Up to Date as of 8.13.24)
24 CFR Part 58, § 58.47(a)(1) requires that a responsible entity re-evaluate its environmental findings to determine if the original findings are still valid when the recipient proposes substantial changes in the nature, magnitude, or extent of a project. The County has found that the magnitude of the project has substantially changed in the following way.
Changes in Proposed Project
The subrecipient of CDBG funding, the City of Manteca, proposes to add one (1) additional modular structure on the city’s homeless emergency center site in addition to the two (2) current modular structures on the site which were reviewed in the Environmental Assessment. The site has been developed in an existing parking lot as an interim and temporary measure while a permanent Navigation Center is being developed at another location in the City. The revised project would have a total of three (3) modular structures. These structures would later be transferred to the permanent site when that site is ready. The structures will be connected into existing utilities which have been run to service the two existing two structures.
The additional unit will increase CDBG funding for the project by an estimated $330,940.00 including a 10% contingency.
Conclusion Regarding Validity of Original EA
Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58 § 58.47(a)(1), the Responsible Entity, the County of San Joaquin, California, has re-evaluated its Finding on No Significant Impact in respect to the Manteca Homeless Emergency Center project in the City of Manteca and per 24 CFR Part 58 § 58.47(b)(1), hereby affirms its original Finding of No Significant Impact.
