Huachuca City Water Distribution System Improvements
The Town of Huachuca City, Arizona is proposing to upgrade its water distribution system to address low water pressure problems and eliminate water line dead ends.
The proposed action involves installation of a new eight-inch pipeline west of Highway 90, connections of dead ends on Pershing Street, an alley off Clark Street, Mountain View Avenue and an adjacent alley, and the addition of two 4,600 gallon, hydropneumatic tanks at Skyline and Howard Wells.
The new water lines will be installed in trenches three to four feet deep, and located within alley, street or highway right-of-way. The only exception will be the connection between Highway 90 and Howard Street, which will be placed in an easement adjacent to the property line of an existing church.
EPA's involvement in the Huachuca City, 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
(BECC) and the North American Development Bank
(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. Please go to the BECC Web site
or the NADBank Web site
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).
