Notice of Categorical Exclusion Determination - Marshall Phase 9 Water and Sewer Improvements

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation’s Village Safe Water Program has issued a categorical exclusion for the Marshall Phase 9 Water and Sewer Improvements project (Project #MLL0002). The determination removes the need for further environmental review, allowing the community to proceed with essential infrastructure upgrades. The work includes repairing or replacing existing water and sewer mains, extending a circulating water main, adding new water service connections, extending sewer mains with service connections, inspecting an existing sewer main, and upgrading equipment at the water treatment plant. Because the project is classified as a categorical exclusion, no additional permitting or public comment periods are required, accelerating the construction schedule. • Repair/replace existing water and sewer mains • Extend circulating water main and add new water service connections • Extend sewer mains and install new service connections • Inspect existing sewer main for condition assessment • Upgrade water‑treatment‑plant equipment • Categorical exclusion eliminates further environmental review, expediting implementation.
