Joy Prom gives big night to those with disabilities BY KAYLA ROBINS [email protected]

People from all walks of the Sumter community came together on Friday to host the annual Joy Prom for students and adults with disabilities. The event, which was held at The O'Donnell House in downtown Sumter, is a partnership between a handful of groups, including the Sumter County Sheriff's Office and First Baptist Church. Attendees had the opportunity to get their hair and makeup for free at the church before getting into a limo and taken across the street for a red carpet welcome. High school students escorted the prom-goers down the carpet as they were introduced by a DJ. "The dancing is really the big thing," said Gwen Herod, who works at the sheriff's office. Herod, who has a granddaughter who has Down Syndrome, said she and a handful of others thought to start a prom for those with disabilities after seeing a similar event in Columbia. "I think the important thing is to not separate them," she said. KAYLA ROBINS / THE SUMTER ITEM "We're all one here. Jesus loves us all the same.

Floodplain Management: The 8-step process was required and was conducted as part of the Environmental As- sessment. Project design should include provisions to (a) assure that flood hazards will not be created by flow obstructions or debris collection, (b) protect the pipes from high velocity flow at stream crossings, (c) prevent water pollution due to flooded sewer systems, and (d) flood proof any electrical/mechanical equipment that would be damaged by flood waters.

ÁîçÝåÞîé Wetland Disturbance: Impacts to the wetlands will be avoided by utilizing directional boring.

The project proposes to construct a 200 gallon-per-minute pump station and 6-inch force main transmission ßèëìÚïâçàì line to connect the Town of Mayesville’s WWTP to the City of Sumter’s collection system and is located in the Town of Mayesville and the existing right-of-way on Third Street, Avenue A, and US-76 between the Mayesville WWTP and the City of Sumter boundary.

For this reason E.O. 11988- Floodplain Management and E.O. 11900 applied. This project does not meet any of the exceptions at 24 CFR 55.12 and therefore required an 8-step analysis of the direct and indirect impacts associated with the construction, occupancy, and modification of the floodplains. Impacts to the wetlands will be avoided utilizing directional boring.

The project location is the existing right-of-way on Third Street, Avenue A and US-76 between the Mayesville WWTP and City of Sumter boundary.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
