FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The CITY OF GLENCOE has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The CITY OF GLENCOE certifies to ADECA that Chris Hare 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. ADECA’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the CITY OF GLENCOE to use Program Funds.
