These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by Wayne County.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about May 30, 2025, Wayne County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Funding Project funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as Wayne County EMS Station 12 for the purpose of constructing a 45’ x 70’ EMS Station with a 37’x 70’ bay area at E. Elm Street and Wright Brothers Avenue in Goldsboro, NC. The project will cover approximately one (1) acre. Total Project Cost=$2,011,000.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Wayne County has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. 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 Wayne County Emergency Medical Services, Jeffreys Building, 134 N. John Street, Goldsboro, and Wayne County Courthouse, 224 E Walnut Street #230, Goldsboro, and may be examined or copied on weekdays from 9:00 A.M to 4:30 P.M.

Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
Wayne County certifies to HUD that Chip Crumpler in his capacity as Wayne County Manager 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 authorities and allows Wayne County to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and Wayne County’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 one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Wayne County; (b) Wayne County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD at Greensboro Field Office, Asheville Building, 1500 Pinecroft Road., Suite 401, Greensboro, NC 27407.
