Hoy se cumple un año de tu partida hacia los cielos, no puedo acostumbrarme a no verte, tu ausencia me llena de tristeza, presente en mis memorias te encuentras pues te tengo eternamente en mis recuerdos. El faro de tu luz que alumbra tus consejos hoy es guía cuando es sombras me encuentro. Dios que un Ángel en el cielo requería, decidió trasladarte a su presencia, acá en tierra quedo mi querencia mutilada por faltarme el ser, ejemplo de mi vida diaria, Padre mío Dios te guarde en su reino arrópame por siempre en tus brazos, sigue siendo guía en tierra de mis pasos y prepara en cielo nuestro encuentro. Descansa En Paz Te Amamos, extrañamos y por siempre vivirás en nuestros corazones.

Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain To: All interested Agencies including all Federal, State and Local, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that County of Starr has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for HOME Program Reservation System Participant under Contract No. 1003020/1003021. The proposed project is located at 109 Juarez Street, Rio Grande City, Starr County, Texas. The funds will be used to Demolish existing dilapidated home located in a flood area, each located in a lot of approximately 50 feet wide and approximately by 120 feet long, and reconstruct new housing on the same footprint. This home will be for elderly and/or physically challenged citizens. Property is located on FEMA FIRM 481678C570C in flood zone A. Less than 1 acre total are in the 100 year floodplain. . The County of Starr has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: 1. Relocate the proposed activities outside the floodplain – this alternative suggests purchase of additional property to relocate residents and was rejected due to additional financial commitments. 2. Choose applicants that are not in a 100 year floodplain – this alternative suggests excluding applicants that are not located in a 100 year floodplain. This was rejected because applicants are based on need, and this is an opportunity to assist those that are considered most in need as well as better reinforce the structures to resist possible flooding. 3. Locate the proposed activities within the floodplain – this is considered necessary from a public interest standpoint and the homes are intended to be elevated about the base flood elevation.
The County of Starr has reevaluated the alternatives to building in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of [Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990], are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons: This projects pose no significant impacts to residents or floodplain as the home is intended to be raised above the base flood elevations. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the County of Starr at the following address, 100 North FM 3167, Rio Grande City, Texas 78582 on or before July 28, 2021: Attention: Ms. Connie Cantu, Project Manager during the hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Comments may also be submitted via email at ccantu@co.starr.tx.us Date: July 21, 2021
