Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at Augusta Housing and Community Development Department, 925 Laney Walker Blvd., 2nd Floor, Augusta, GA 30901, (706)-821-1797 and may be examined or copied weekdays 7 A.M. to 6 P.M.

Copenhaver in his capacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD's approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorizes and allows the CHDO/LP/LLC to use HUD program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and the AHCDD's certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of - the AHCDD; (b) the AHCDD has omitted a step orfailed to make a decision or committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds or incurred costs not authorize by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another standpoint of environmental quality.
