Pontiac, MI, 48341
248-858-0493

Date of posting: August 14, 2025

On or after August 26, 2025, the County of Oakland will submit a request to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of funds under Title I, Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) Community Development Brock Grant (CDBG) Funds, to undertake the following project:

Tier 1 Broad Review Project/Program Title: The County of Oakland City of Madison Heights Minor Home Repair Program Year 2024

Purpose: The Minor Home Repair Programs provide rehabilitation and improvements of owner-occupied housing located in urban county jurisdictions within the County of Oakland.
Location: City of Madison Heights. Specific addresses will be assessed in the site-specific reviews.
Project/Program Description: The rehabilitation and improvements of owner-occupied housing located in Madison Heights include, but not limited to, the rehab of single-family residential homes and manufactured homes, emergency repairs such as furnaces and hot water heaters, roof repair, barrier-free access improvements such as accessibility ramps, energy efficiency improvements, correcting code violations, and other improvements for low-income households who own their home. Tier 2 site specific reviews will be completed for those laws and authorities not addressed in the tier 1 broad review for each address under this program when addresses become known.

Level of Environmental Review Citation: 24 CFR Part 58.35(a)(3)(i)
Tier 2 Site Specific Review: The site specific reviews will cover the following laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, particularly sections 106 and 110; 36 CFR Part 800; Executive Order 11988 and 24 CFR Part 55 regarding Floodplain Management; Flood Insurance under Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 [42 USC 4001-4128 and 42 USC 5154a]; HUD Environmental Standards regarding Toxic, Radioactive and Hazardous Materials under 24 CFR Part 58.5(i)(2); Airport Hazards related to Clear Zones and Accident Potential Zones, 24 CFR Part 51 Subpart D; Noise Control Act of 1972, as amended by the Quiet Communities Act of 1978, 24 CFR Part 51 Subpart B; Endangered Species Act of 1973, particularly section 7; 50 CFR Part 402; Explosive and Flammable Hazards 24 CFR Part 51 Subpart C and Environmental Justice under Executive Order 12898.
Mitigation Measures/Conditions/Permits (if any): The properties identified for this project in each of the Tier 2 Site-Specific environmental reviews are not expected to have any mitigation measures, conditions, or federal permits. However, the following mitigation measures and conditions will be followed, and the applicable federal permits obtained, if necessary, as described for each of the following laws and authorities:

• Floodplain Management: Properties in a Floodway will not be approved. If the project meets or exceeds the determination of being a substantial improvement the project will follow the 8-Step Process according to Executive Order 11988 and/or the project will be assessed on whether or not the project is feasible. Substantial improvement is defined as any repair, reconstruction, modernization or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure before the improvement or repair is started or if the structure has been damaged before the damage occurred or any repair, reconstruction, modernization or improvement of a structure that results in an increase of more than 20% of dwelling units or peak
number of customers and employees. If the project is located in a floodplain, a Section 404 permit may be required. If required, an application will be made to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy (EGLE) for a Section 404 permit. Projects that are located in proximity of a National Wild and Scenic River System NRSRS river, including in proximity of a segment of the Nationwide Rivers Inventory and require a Section 404 permit from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy. • Floodplain Insurance: Properties in a Floodway will not be approved. Properties in a floodplain will be reviewed and the current property owner will be required to carry flood insurance during the life of the rehabilitation loan/grant.

• Noise Abatement and Control: If the project is within 1,000 ft of a major roadway or expressway or 3,000 ft of a railroad, then a HUD Day Night Level (DNL) Assessment Tool will be conducted to determine possible mitigation efforts.

• Contamination and Toxic Substances: If contaminated, toxic and radioactive materials are located on or near the property and pose a hazard to the occupants. The hazard will be eliminated before moving forward with the rehabilitation. It will be documented in the environmental review record file. Disposal of all hazardous materials will follow NESHAP rules and regulations.

• Protection of Historic Properties: All housing rehabilitation activities will be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) for historical or cultural significance review and allowable comment period.

• Airport Hazards: If a project is located in a designated Airport Runway Protection Zone or Clear Zone a noise assessment will be conducted to determine possible mitigation efforts.

• Endangered Species: If there is habitat destruction, tree removal or ground disturbance, a site-specific fisheries and wildlife review will be conducted and if any consultation is required, the proper agencies will be notified, and specific guidance will be followed.

• Explosive and Flammable Hazards: A site-specific visual inspection is conducted for each single-family residential rehabilitation.

• Environmental Justice: The properties will be occupied to low-moderate income households. The rehabilitation is expected to improve the living conditions for the people living in the units. The projects are not expected to expose low-moderate income populations to adverse environmental conditions. Any properties that will expose low-moderate income residents to environmental hazards will not be approved.

2024 CDBG Funding: $33,897.08;
Estimated Project Cost: $300,000.00
The activity/activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements per 24 CFR Part 58.35(a)(3)(i).
