FY 2019 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Loan Program SRF Project FS010275-01 Environmental Information Document The Town of Summerdale Waterline Expansion

A. Existing Environment 1. Location of the Project Area

The Town of Summerdale is located east of Mobile Bay in Central Baldwin County, lying south of Interstate Highway 10 and east/west of Highway 59 between Robertsdale and Foley. The project area is in the southeast area of Summerdale within the right-of-way of County Road 28, Baldwin Beach Express and Juniper Street. This area is west of the Alabama/Florida Border and is a part of the Daphne-Fairhope-Foley metropolitan statistical area. Found in Appendix A Exhibit 1 is a USGS Quadrangle map identifying the project site which is along the east side of T7S R4E sections 4 and 9, the north border of section 9 and inside section 9.

B. Existing Facilities 1. Existing Water System Infrastructure and Facilities That Will Supply the Project Area

Distribution System The system presently has approximately 30 miles of waterlines in its distribution system, one elevated water tank, and one groundwater well with treatment. The Town’s existing distribution system serves 557 customers (approximately 15% of the service area). There is one pressure zone in the system and it is sustained by the overflow elevation of the elevated water tank. East Central Baldwin Water Authority has waterlines in part of the west and northwest portion of the service area and Riviera Utilities has waterlines in a small portion of the very south part of the service area. Refer to Appendix A Exhibit 2 for an overview map of the water system facilities and service area.

Elevated Water Storage Tank

Centrally located, the elevated water tank’s storage capacity is 200,000 gallons with an overflow elevation of 140 and ground elevation of 110. The tank is filled by water from the groundwater well.

Groundwater Well

Located in the northwest portion of the service area, the groundwater well has a pumping capacity of 700-gpm. Summerdale pumps an average of 111,000 gallons of water each day.

1 FY2019 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Loan Program SRF Project FS010275-01 Environmental Information Document The Town of Summerdale Waterline Expansion

Based on a 24-hour day for well operation, the water system has a total well-source capacity of 1.0-MGD. The groundwater source is from the Miocene Aquifer Zone 2.

Treatment

The groundwater from the well is treated for coliform bacteria and pH adjustment. The treatment process involves chlorination, corrosion control and pH adjustment by lime. Well schematics are available for review or can be provided upon request.

Sources

The Town of Summerdale currently supplies 100% of the system’s potable water and has emergency interconnections with Robertsdale’s Water System and Riviera Utilities (Foley’s Water System). The locations of the emergency interconnection are shown in the Facilities Map in Appendix A Exhibit 2.

2. Population Served

Currently, the Town of Summerdale Water System serves 557 customers (approximately 1,392 people). After this project, an additional 17 customers could be serviced by the Town’s water system rather than from individual wells and more than 200 homes in other parts of the Town’s service area would remain on private wells. Furthermore, with the waterline expansion, there is an opportunity to connect more customers in the future, as well as, an opportunity for an emergency interconnection with an adjacent water system in the future.

3. Conditions of the Existing Treatment/Distribution System

The distribution system produces treated potable water that is well within the regulations required by ADEM. The existing distribution system and its facilities are in good and operable condition.

C. Need for Proposed Facilities 1. Health and Safety

The proposed project will address the lack of water source security in this area. Without waterlines, there is no protection to the individual private well water sources in this area of the

2 FY2019 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Loan Program SRF Project FS010275-01 Environmental Information Document The Town of Summerdale Waterline Expansion

community. Currently, the residents within this area of the community are supplied potable water from individual private wells (of which can tend to be problematic during power outages and/or hurricanes). The proposed project would eliminate the need for individual private wells and would provide a secure water source (quantity and quality) to this area of the community.

2. Water Quantity Deficiencies

With a well-source capacity of 1.0-MGD and an average water use of 111,000 GPD, the system has no water source quantity deficiencies. The average water use in the summer months (June, July and August) and winter months (December, January and February) are 151,593 GPD and 122,425 GPD respectively. With an operating pressure of 52 psi and static pressure of 60 psi, the system has no apparent water pressure deficiencies. With a total storage capacity of 200,000 gallons and 557 customers, the system has more than adequate storage capacity for the required minimum 24-hours supply. Therefore, an increase in capacity is not needed.

3. Water Quality Deficiencies

The water system’s treated water is of good quality. The groundwater is treated for coliform bacteria with chlorine and pH adjustment with lime. Any byproduct waste is discharged into the sanitary sewer system. As discussed in the Water System’s Annual Water Reports, the Town’s water system has not experienced any permit violations, nor any administrative/consent orders, nor any treated water quality deficiencies. Refer to Appendix B for the Water System’s Annual Water Reports for the past five (5) years (2015-2019). The Appendix B Exhibit 1 contains the 2019 report and Exhibit 2 are the reports from 2015-2018.

D. Proposed Facilities and Proposed Funding 1. Proposed Facilities a. Water Distribution Facilities to be Constructed:

The project focuses on the expansion of the current water system for the Town of Summerdale. The project proposes to install 2.8 miles of new 8” waterlines within the County right-of-ways of County Road 28, Baldwin Beach Express, and Juniper Street.

 Alternative #4: 8” Waterline Expansion Improvements on Baldwin Beach Express, County Road 28, Juniper Street, and Engel Road 1. Discussion of All Feasible Alternatives: A. Alternative #1: No Action a. Alternative Processes and/or Locations Considered-

With Alternative #1, no new waterlines would be installed in the area and the Town of Summerdale Water System will continue to serve and operate as it currently does. Potable water service and water source security will continue to be unavailable for the southeast area of the community. Furthermore, the opportunity for the potential emergency interconnection with neighboring water system will be lost.

b. Alternative Distribution/Storage Systems-

No alternative system proposed with Alternative #1.

c. Leakage Reduction Measures-

This alternative would not involve any leakage reduction measures.

d. Interconnections with Nearby Water Systems-

Alternative #1 does not propose an opportunity for interconnection with nearby water systems.

e. Physical, Legal, or Institutional Constraints-

There are no foreseeable concerns with physical, legal, or institutional constraints due to this alternative.

f. Regulatory Requirements-

Alternate #1 proposed to maintain the existing system as is and maintain compliance with current regulations.

g. Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs-

5 FY2019 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Loan Program SRF Project FS010275-01 Environmental Information Document The Town of Summerdale Waterline Expansion

Alternative #1 involves no capital costs and will not produce any additional O&M costs for the Town of Summerdale.

h. Significant, Irreversible, and/or Unavoidable Environmental Impacts-

Alterative #1 will not produce any significant, irreversible, or unavoidable environmental impacts. However, any environmental impacts caused by inoperable private/individual wells could remain a potential risk.

B. Alternative #2:

8” Waterline Expansion Improvements on Baldwin Beach Express, County Road 28, and Juniper Street

a. Alternative Processes and/or Locations Considered-

Alternative #2 proposes 2.8-miles of new 8” waterlines within the County right- of-ways of Baldwin Beach Express, County Road 28, and Juniper Street in Summerdale, Alabama.

b. Alternative Distribution/Storage Systems-

Approximately 5,530-feet of new waterlines would be installed on the north right- of-way of County Road 28; 7,880-feet of new waterlines would be installed on the east right-of-way of Baldwin Beach Express, and 1,615-feet of new waterlines on the west right-of-way of Juniper Street. The project also proposes to connect to the existing water system at County Road 28/73. Stub-outs would be provided at the end of Juniper, and on Baldwin Beach Express at County Road 28, Foley Beach Express and County Road 32 where a neighboring water system exists. Approximately seventeen (17) additional homes and one (1) business could benefit immediately from this proposed project.

This project will also involve encased bores under four (4) paved roadways and un-encased bores under ten (10) paved driveways and storm drainage infrastructure, as required by the County from whom a Utility Permit is required.

A copy of the County Utility Permit application is attached as Exhibit 1 of Appendix C. c. Leakage Reduction Measures-

For Alternative #2, the new waterline infrastructure will be installed properly to the manufacturer’s recommendations and with restraint joint fittings as required to minimize/eliminate potential leaks. Upon completion of the waterline installation and prior to final acceptance, the waterlines will be subject to hydrostatic testing which will identify leaking pipes to be corrected. d. Interconnections with Nearby Water Systems-

Alternative #2 does not propose any interconnections with nearby water systems. However, at the northeast end of the Alternative #2 project area, an opportunity will be provided for an emergency interconnection with an adjacent water system (East Central Baldwin Water Authority) located at the southeast corner of the Baldwin Beach Express/County Road 32 Intersection. e. Physical, Legal, or Institutional Constraints-

There are no foreseeable concerns with physical, legal, or institutional constraints. f. Regulatory Requirements-

Numerous laws and associated regulations and policies direct the design of project alternatives, the analysis of impacts and the development of mitigation efforts. Those regulations and policies include but are not limited to NEPA, NHPA, Executive Order 11990 (wetlands), Executive Order 11998 (floodplains), the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Clean Water Act (CWA) and all regulations and policies set forth by ADEM Drinking Water Division, ADEM SRF Division, ADEM NPDES Permit, Alabama Historical Commission, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the South Alabama Regional Planning Commission, Baldwin County Highway Department, and the Town of Summerdale Water System.

Appropriate erosion control and BMP measures will be implemented, such as, seeding, mulching, and sodding, silt fences, and wattles to stabilize the disturbed ground

2. Choosing an Alternative a. Discussion of Why Alternative #1, “No Action,” Was Not Chosen.

Alternative #1 was not chosen because “No Action” does not allow the residents affected in this area to have a secure source of continued regulated drinking water. The current source in place for the residents in this area are individual private wells that have the potential to fail and/or become contaminated during power outages and/or hurricanes; therefore, this poses a potential health risk to the residents in this project area.

13 FY2019 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Loan Program SRF Project FS010275-01 Environmental Information Document The Town of Summerdale Waterline Expansion

Furthermore, an opportunity for a potential emergency interconnection with a neighboring water system would be lost.

b. The Chosen Alternative: Alternative #2.

Alternative #2 is chosen as the most economic and beneficial alternative to the Town of Summerdale. This alternative allows the residents in this area to be supplied with a secure source of potable drinking water regulated and monitored by ADEM standards at the least capital cost of the remaining alternatives. Additionally, this project provides an opportunity for a potential emergency interconnection with East Central Baldwin Water Authority for the future.

c. Refer to Alternative Analysis Section for in-depth discussion of the two Alternatives (#3 and #4) that were not chosen.

F. Physical Data 1. Topography of the Town and Project Area

3. Site Hydrology of the Town and Project Area

The Town of Summerdale is a small rural town with grass lined ditches parallel to the roadways and a series of roadway culverts to handle stormwater. Stormwater is routed to discharge by sheetflow across adjacent land and/or by reaching outfalls to adjacent Negro Creek or its tributaries.

The project area has been developed with roadway infrastructure and the surrounding land is mostly pastures/farmland. When a rain event occurs, drainage from the site is routed via grass lined ditches running parallel with the roadways and culverts under roadways and discharging to storm drain system outfalls which ultimately releases off site on adjacent land or downstream tributary. Drainage flows from the west to the east.

4. Climate and Precipitation of the Town a. Average Annual Temperature: 80℉. b. Average Annual Range of Temperature: 41℉ to 90℉. c. Average Annual Rainfall: 67 Inches d. Average Annual Snowfall- Not typical e. Growing Season and Freezes - The growing season starts in April and ends in October. The Town typically experiences its first freeze in November and last freeze in March. f. Direction and Speed of Prevailing Winds Summer: Average southerly to westerly 5.9 mph. Winter: Average northerly 9.1 mph.

5. Floodplains, Floodways, and Wetlands Impact

Shown in Appendix A Exhibits 6 and 7 are the Flood Insurance Rate Map for the project area. The proposed project area is in Flood Zone X unshaded (outside of the probable 0.2% annual chance floodplain). This project is not located within a floodplain/floodway or wetland area.

6. Description of Watermains to be Constructed a. The watermains to be constructed with this project are described as follows:  Direct Bury/ Open-Cut Installation- 8” PVC C900 watermain pipe;

issues and minority groups. This area does not present a concern for potential environmental justice issues.

b. Impacts of Environmental Justice Areas Affected

Executive Order 12898 requires all federal agencies to incorporate environmental justice into their missions by identifying and addressing disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental impacts to minorities or low income populations or communities. The chosen alternative and other alternatives for this project would not be expected to cause high or adverse health or environmental impacts to minorities, low income populations or communities.

8. Pollution from Construction Activities a. Noise: Noise caused from temporary construction activities will be insignificant for the few residents in the project area. No significant noise increase or noise affects are anticipated as a result of this project. b. Erosion and Siltation: Erosion issues will be mitigated against along the project corridor with the implementation of erosion control plan developed in accordance with ADEM NPDES regs. In order to limit erosion issues at areas with ground disturbance and throughout the project construction corridor, BMPs, such as silt fencing, wattles, seed/mulch, will be utilized and maintained continuously for the duration. c. Dust: Any potential for dust pollution could occur at the areas of ground disturbance, as the dry ground is excavated, backfilled and exposed to air/wind during construction activities. Since seeding and mulching will be used to stabilize backfill excavation, the dust intensity will be greatly reduced/minimal. d. Best Management Practices (BMP) and Implementation Plan: The construction of the project will disturb an estimated 7-acres during construction activities, thus requiring a NPDES permit from ADEM. As per requirements of the NPDES permit, a Construction Best Management Practices Plan (CBMPP) has been prepared and will be implemented fully. e. Impact on Public Parks and Prime Agricultural Land: This project does not impact any public parks or designated prime agricultural land.

f. Impact on 303d Listed Streams: The project does not impact any 303d listed streams. g. Impacts from Stream Crossings: This project does not impact any stream crossings. h. Land Clearing: This project does not propose any land clearing. i. Soil/Vegetative Spoil Disposal Methods: Neither excess soil nor vegetative spoil is anticipated for this project. The soil excavated is projected to be used as backfill. j. Abandoned Structures/Land/Facilities: This project does not propose abandonment of any structures, land or other facilities.

9. Public Participation

A public meeting will be held at Summerdale Municipal Complex on Monday, May 11, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the project, the funding sources of the project, any known impacts to the area, and any comments/questions from the meeting. A copy of the newspaper advertisement that will run in the local newspaper for four consecutive weeks prior to the meeting is included in Appendix E as Exhibit 1. Following the public meeting, this EID will be amended to include documentation of the meeting, an avadavat of the legal notice publication, meeting sign-in sheet and comments/questions discussed at the meeting.

This report shows the values for environmental and demographic indicators and EJSCREEN indexes. It shows environmental and demographic raw data (e.g., the estimated concentration of ozone in the air), and also shows what percentile each raw data value represents. These percentiles provide perspective on how the selected block group or buffer area compares to the entire state, EPA region, or nation. For example, if a given location is at the 95th percentile nationwide, this means that only 5 percent of the US population has a higher block group value than the average person in the location being analyzed. The years for which the data are available, and the methods used, vary across these indicators. Important caveats and uncertainties apply to this screening-level information, so it is essential to understand the limitations on appropriate interpretations and applications of these indicators.
