Midwest Electric Inc.:

Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact

AGENCY: Rural Development, USDA

ACTION: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact.

Rural Development has made a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to a request for possible financing assistance to Midwest Electric, Inc. for the construction of the Marion Industrial Park infrastructure improvements in Mercer County, Ohio.

To obtain copies of the Environmental Assessment (EA)and FONSI, or for further information, contact:

Charles A. Dietz, Environmental Coordinator at (614) 255-2431, or at Charles.dietz@usda.gov. The EA and FONSI are also available for public review at USDA Rural Development 200 N. High Street Room 507 Columbus, Ohio 43215.

The proposed project consists of the installation of water, sewer, and electric in an 80-acre plot north of the existing industrial park to accommodate expansion. Alternatives considered by RD and Midwest Electric include the no action alternative and preferred alternative. The alternatives are discussed in the Marion Industrial Park EA. RD has reviewed and approved the EA for the proposed project.

The availability of the EA for public review was announced via notice in the Daily Standard, located in Celina, OH, on December 14th, 15th, and 16th of 2020. A 14-day comment period was announced in the newspaper notice(s). The EA was also available for public review at the USDA Rural Development office and website as well as RD's offices. No comments were received regarding the project.

Based on its EA, commitments made by Midwest Electric, Inc., and public comments received, RD has concluded that the project would have no significant impact (or no impacts) to water quality, wetlands, floodplains, land use, aesthetics, transportation, or human health and safety.

The proposed project will have no adverse effect on resources listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Agency has also concluded that the proposed project is not likely to affect federally listed threatened and endangered species or designated critical habitat thereof. The proposed project would not disproportionately affect minority and/or low- income populations.

No other potential significant impacts resulting from the proposed project have been identified. Therefore, RD has determined that this FONSI fulfills its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR §§ 1500-1508), and USDA Rural Development's Environmental Policies and Procedures (7 CFR Part 1970) for its action related to the project.

RD is satisfied that the environmental impacts of the proposed project have been adequately addressed. RD's federal action would not result in significant impacts to the quality of the human environment, and as such it will not prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for its action related to the proposed project.
