NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

Jim Wells County Courthouse
200 N. Almond Street, Alice, Texas 78332
(361) 668-5826

Date of Notice: 11/13/2025

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the County of Jim Wells

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about November 29, 2025, the County of Jim Wells will submit a request to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for the release of HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds under Title II of the Cranston Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, to undertake a project known as the Jim Wells HOME Program, for the purpose of reconstructing between 1 and 50 single-family owner-occupied homes if funding becomes available. The maximum amount of funds to be utilized for reconstruction is up to $175,000 based on family size and the number of bedrooms. This review covers Reservation 2023-0034 and all associated contracts as well as any additional HOME funds awarded in the next 5-year period to include 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029 under this same scope of work. This is a tiered review, and construction will not commence until the site-specific review has been approved by TDHCA.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The County of Jim Wells has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the County Courthouse, 200 N Almond Street, Alice, TX 78332 and may be examined or copied weekdays from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. A digital copy of the ERR may be obtained by contacting Norma Salas, via email at norma.salas@co.jim-wells.tx.us or by phone at 361-668-5826.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the County of Jim Wells. Comments may also be submitted via email to norma.salas@co.jim-wells.tx.us. All comments received by November 28, 2025 will be considered by the County of Jim Wells prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

The County of Jim Wells certifies to TDHCA that Pedro Trevino, Jr., in his capacity as County Judge consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. TDHCA’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the County of Jim Wells to use HUD program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

TDHCA will accept objections to its release of funds and the County of Jim Well’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the County of Jim Wells (b) the County of Jim Wells has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs, or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by TDHCA; or (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 procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to TDHCA, Program Services, Environmental at P.O. Box 13941, Austin, Texas 78711-3941 or via email at environmental@tdhca.state.tx.us. Potential objectors should contact TDHCA to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

AVISO DE DETERMINACIÓN DE NO IMPACTO SIGNIFICATIVO Y
AVISO DE INTENCIÓN DE SOLICITAR LA LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS

Palacio de Justicia del Condado de Jim Wells
200 N. Almond Street, Alice, Texas 78332
(361) 668-5826

Fecha del Aviso: 13/11/2025

Estos avisos cumplirán con dos requisitos procesales distintos pero relacionados para las actividades que llevará a cabo el Condado de Jim Wells.

SOLICITUD DE LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS

Alrededor del 29 de noviembre de 2025, el Condado de Jim Wells presentará una solicitud al Departamento de Vivienda y Asuntos Comunitarios de Texas (TDHCA, por sus siglas en inglés) para la liberación de fondos del Programa de Asociaciones de Inversión en Vivienda (HOME) bajo el Título II de la Ley Nacional de Vivienda Asequible Cranston Gonzalez de 1990, enmendada, para llevar a cabo un proyecto conocido como el Programa HOME de Jim Wells, con el propósito de reconstruir entre 1 y 50 viviendas unifamiliares ocupadas por sus propietarios si los fondos están disponibles. La cantidad máxima de fondos que se utilizará para la reconstrucción es de hasta $175,000, dependiendo del tamaño de la familia y del número de habitaciones. Esta revisión cubre la Reserva 2023-0034 y todos los contratos asociados, así como cualquier
fondo adicional de HOME otorgado durante el próximo período de 5 años que incluya 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 y 2029 bajo este mismo alcance de trabajo. Esta es una revisión por niveles, y la construcción no comenzará hasta que TDHCA haya aprobado la revisión específica del sitio.

DETERMINACIÓN DE NO IMPACTO SIGNIFICATIVO

El condado de Jim Wells ha determinado que el proyecto no tendrá un impacto significativo en el medio humano. Por lo tanto, no se requiere una Declaración de Impacto Ambiental bajo la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental de 1969 (NEPA). Información adicional sobre el proyecto se encuentra en el Registro de Revisión Ambiental (ERR, por sus siglas en inglés) archivado en el Palacio de Justicia del Condado, 200 N Almond Street, Alice, TX 78332, y puede ser consultada o copiada de lunes a viernes de 8 A.M. a 5 P.M. Se puede obtener una copia digital del ERR contactando a Norma Salas, por correo electrónico a norma.salas@co.jim-wells.tx.us o por teléfono al 361-668-5826.

COMENTARIOS PÚBLICOS

Cualquier individuo, grupo o agencia puede enviar comentarios por escrito sobre el ERR al Condado de Jim Wells. Los comentarios también pueden enviarse por correo electrónico a norma.salas@co.jim-wells.tx.us. Todos los comentarios recibidos antes del 28 de noviembre de 2025 serán considerados por el Condado de Jim Wells antes de autorizar la presentación de una solicitud de liberación de fondos. Los comentarios deben especificar a qué Aviso se refieren.

CERTIFICACIÓN AMBIENTAL

El Condado de Jim Wells certifica ante TDHCA que Pedro Treviño Jr., en su calidad de Juez del Condado, consiente en aceptar la jurisdicción de los Tribunales Federales si se presenta una acción para hacer cumplir
las responsabilidades relacionadas con el proceso de revisión ambiental y que estas responsabilidades han sido cumplidas. La aprobación de la certificación por parte de TDHCA satisface sus responsabilidades bajo
NEPA y leyes y autoridades relacionadas, y permite que el Condado de Jim Wells utilice los fondos del programa HUD.

OBJECIONES A LA LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS

TDHCA aceptará objeciones a su liberación de fondos y a la certificación del Condado de Jim Wells por un período de quince días después de la fecha de presentación anticipada o de la recepción real de la solicitud (lo que ocurra después) únicamente si se basan en uno de los siguientes motivos: (a) la certificación no fue firmada por el Funcionario Certificador del Condado de Jim Wells; (b) el Condado de Jim Wells ha omitido un paso o no ha tomado una decisión o realizado un hallazgo requerido por las regulaciones de HUD en 24 CFR Parte 58; (c) el beneficiario de la subvención u otros participantes en el proceso de desarrollo han comprometido fondos, incurrido en costos o emprendido actividades no autorizadas por 24 CFR Parte 58 antes de la aprobación de una liberación de fondos por TDHCA; o (d) otra agencia federal actuando de conformidad con 40 CFR Parte 1504 ha presentado un hallazgo escrito de que el proyecto es insatisfactorio desde el punto de vista de la calidad ambiental. Las objeciones deben prepararse y presentarse de acuerdo con lo requerido procedimientos (24 CFR Parte 58, Sección 58.76) y se deberán enviar a TDHCA, Program
Services, Environmental en P.O. Box 13941, Austin, Texas 78711-3941 o vía correo electrónico a environmental@tdhca.state.tx.us. Los posibles objetores deben contactar a TDHCA para verificar la fecha real de finalización del período de objeción.
