Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements in Douglas, Arizona

EPA is considering the award of a Border Environment Infrastructure Fund (BEIF) grant for proposed water and wastewater system improvements in Douglas, Arizona. The proposed project involves rehabilitation and expansion of wastewater and potable water pipelines within the City of Douglas as well as extension of wastewater and/or potable water services to the adjacent unincorporated colonias of Pirtleville, Bay Acres, and Fairview.

EPA's involvement in the Douglas, Arizona project is part of a national commitment to improve environmental conditions along the U.S.-Mexico border. EPA participates in the development and implementation of water supply and wastewater infrastructure projects in coordination with the Border Environment Cooperation Commission Exiting EPA (disclaimer) (BECC) and the North American Development Bank Exiting EPA (disclaimer) (NADBank). BECC is responsible for certifying projects so that they comply with sound technical, environmental, financial, and public participation principles. NADBank administers the BEIF grants for projects that have been certified by BECC and approved by EPA. For general information, please go to the BECC Web site  Exiting EPA (disclaimer) or the NADBank Web site  Exiting EPA (disclaimer) for project information.

In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), EPA has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. Based on a review of the EA, EPA determined that the project will not have significant environmental impacts and has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI).
