CITY OF OMAHA

PUBLIC NOTICE

The City of Omaha has applied for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Program funding through Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) as a sub- recipient.

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), federal actions must be reviewed and evaluated for feasible alternatives and for social, economic, historic, environmental, legal, and safety considerations. Under Executive Order (EO) 11988 and EO 11990, FEMA is required to consider alternatives, and to provide a public notice of any proposed actions in or affecting floodplains or wetlands. EO 12898 also requires FEMA to provide the opportunity for public participation in the planning process and to consider potential impacts to minority and low-income populations. This notice may also fulfill requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).

Funding for the proposed project will be conditional upon compliance with all applicable federal, tribal, state, and local laws, regulations, floodplain standards, permit requirements and conditions.

Sub-Applicant: City of Omaha (Douglas

County)

Project Title: HMGP 4420-024 Copper

Creek Sewer Interceptor

Location of Proposed Work:

• Work will realign approximately 0.6 mile of buried sewer pipe, between north end (41.177751, -95.997385), and south end (41.168934, -95.993952).

• Partial trenching and ground boring in Copper Creek Park, 5021 Copper Creek Road, Omaha, NE 68157.

• Partial trenching and ground boring in Hastings Banner Park, 5005 Virginia Street, Omaha, NE 68157.

• Work area crosses beneath Copper Creek and is to the east of Big Papillion Creek.

 

Special Flood Hazard Area Zone:

This project will perform work in the A Zone, the area of 1% annual chance of flooding, per City of Bellevue Flood Insurance Rate Map panel 31153C 0090H, dated 5/03/2010. This area is categorized as regulatory floodway.

Proposed Work and Purpose:

Copper Creek Sewer Interceptor will be relocated using Hazard Mitigation Grant Project funding. Work will remove existing 90-inch metal pipe at stream crossing (41.176573, -95.996966) and through a combination of open-trench and boring will install approx. 3,400 linear feet (LF) of 96-inch reinforced concrete pipe in a new alignment, reducing floodplain impacts. This work removes original pipe and buries the line, improving floodplain characteristics and reducing potential damage to infrastructure. New pipeline footprint diverts from existing northern point (41.177751, -95.997385), and open-trench a conduit approx. 300 LF to the southeast to reach a tree-line (41.177281, -95.996396). Work will bore three lines approx. 575 LF under Copper Creek and the parking lot to reach southern end of boring (41.175699, -95.996021). Point protection will be installed in the streambank in this area, in the form of 69 LF of riprap revetment. From there, work will resume in an open-trench installation of approx. 2,500 LF of pipe to reach the southern point of relocated line (41.168934, -95.993952), where it will be tied back into existing line. This section will have manhole access points installed approx. every 600 feet along the length. Once new line is in place, existing 90-inch-diameter exposed pipe will be removed, and the remainder of line will be sealed. This area will receive 60 LF of riprap revetment. This circumvents the task of digging up existing levee maintained by USACE to effect repairs.

Project Alternatives:

Alternative #1 (Relocation and installation of siphon): This is the option being pursued by this grant. Work will remove existing, exposed sewer line and install a total 3,400 linear feet of sewer pipe through a mixture of open-trench installation and directional boring. The new siphon design will prevent backflow into the collection system and the new pipe will replace aged infrastructure. Streambank stabilization, removal of the existing crossing, temporary by-pass pumping, and pavement replacement are also included in this alternative.

Alternative #2 (Relocation of aerial crossing): This option would relocate the length of pipe as described in Alternative #1, but would forego boring in favor of spanning Copper Creek with a 120-inch wide and 80-foot long concrete pipe, housing a 90-inch wide sewer pipe. This option would remain exposed to impacts from flooding and corrosion.

Alternative #3 (No action): The no-action alternative would leave the interceptor susceptible to repeated damages at the existing stream crossing. Corrosion of the pipe would continue until the pipe collapses or fractures, which could compromise the adjacent levee and result in sewage spilling into the creeks.

Comment Period:

This will serve as the final public notice regarding the above-described action funded by the FEMA PA program. All comments received can be submitted online, via email, to FEMA at kate.stojsavljevic@fema.dhs.gov. Please use the subject line: “NE-HMGP-4420-PW-024, Copper Creek Sewer Interceptor.”

Interested persons may also submit comments and questions in writing, or request a map of this specific project, by writing to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region 7, 11224 Holmes Road; Kansas City, MO 64131. Written comments should be sent with the subject line “NE-HMGP-4420-PW-024, Copper Creek Sewer Interceptor” to the above address within 15 days of the date of posting.

All comments are due by no later than 15 days of the posted date of this notice.

POSTED ON APRIL 6, 2022.
