The Cracker Homestead at Forest Capital Slate Museum might be 140 years old. but it's not too old to be a star. The History Channel series "Back to the Blueprint" recently sent a production crew to .IPehd a day in Perry filming at the homestead., "Back to the Blueprint," with host Marty Dunham. visits historic .omes and buildings, explaining their past and construction. Then, through a step-by-step process, it shows viewers how to renovate such buildings. sometimes even using the original construction techniques. The show is currently filming its second season. The Cracker Homestead will be part of an episode about the architecture of the Florida Cracker lifestyle. Producer Kate Geis said her crew had just finished filming episodes about covered bridges, j church in Virginia and a warehouse in New\ York before tra' cling here. Jim Griest, longtime ranger at the museum, said Construction Specialist Binlon Waters with the Bureau of Recreation and Parks had been contacted by the show's producers, who were looking for sites in Florida. *-. Please see page 3 Vote thrills supporters Local and power group officials were ecstatic about Tallahassee's overwhelming vote to participate in the planned $1.5 billion coal- fired power plant in Taylor County. Nearly 60 percent or 19,997 Tallahassee voters last week said "yes" to the city's 20 percent participation in the project. Taylor County Commission Chairman Daryll Gunter said he is looking forward to partnering with Tallahassee on the plant. "Tallahassee has always been important to our area and I look forward to a closer relationship as this project progresses. Tallahassee Mayor John Marks and his city commission along with the Taylor County Commission can now work together to ensure this will be the best power plant in America," Gunter said. Tallahassee officials, who have already committed $6.4 million to the project, said the vote will allow them to include the Taylor County plant as an alternative as they move toward a final decision this spring. Those other options include Tallahassee building its own coal plant, the continued use of natural gas and the buying of power from other utilities. North Florida Power Project spokesman Mark McCain said his group is happy with the Tallahassee vote. "We are pleased to have Tallahassee in the project because they share the same commitment to the environment as the other utilities involved," McCain said. In addition to Tallahassee's 20 For Josh Massey Death investigation on-going There is still no official ruling in the death of a 25-year-old Perry man who was found fatally shot during the early morning hours of Sunday, Nov. 13. Law enforcement officers say it could take weeks before they are ready to conclude their investigation. Joshua L. Massey's body was found on Beach Road at approximately 3:30 a.m. with his truck still running and headlights op, according to a witness who discovered the body. Taylor County Sheriff L. E. "Bummy" Williams confirmed Tuesday that several signs on Ocean Pond Road had apparently been hit by Massey just prior to his death. Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and Taylor County Sheriffs Office Inv. Donna Lee are leading the investigation into the death of the Perry native. Lee said last week, "No stone will be left unturned during this investigation. It's frustrating for all parties involved, but reports from Massey's autopsy, such as a toxicology, take several weeks to get back." Williams also said Tuesday that one set-back in the case occurred when one of the FDLE investigators assigned to the case was sent to South Florida to assist with the Hurricane Wilma devastation. He added that he expects investigators to be in town next week to resume "their part of the investigation." percent stake in the plant, Jacksonville-based JEA will own 32 percent, Reedy Creek (a retail electricity supplier in parts of Orange and Osceola counties) will own 9 percent and the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) will own 39 percent. FMPA is a wholesale supplier to 29 municipal electric utilities including Gainesville, Alachua, ,- Please see page 3 Opponents encouraged by dialogue While disappointed with the outcome of Tallahassee's "yes" vote to coal, local power plant opponent Diane Whitfield said she is encouraged by the debate and dialogue sparked by the issue. It is that spirit of dialogue she would like to see re-established with the Taylor County Board of Commissioners. "We have been argued back at, instead of engaging in dialogue. I would like to see a workshop where we can get together and talk," she said. As a member of TRUE (Taylor County Residents United for the Environment), Whitfield said, "We are more determined than ever to have our turn to vote. In the past week, numerous Taylor County residents have asked us to allow them to circulate petitions requesting commissioners to give us a local vote." The vote, she said, would be about "not wanting it (coal-fired power plant) in Perry. I would like to undo what they (the county commissioners) have done...rescind their invitation to the power plant." Whitfield continued, "It is troubling that so many people think the proposed Perry plant is a sure thing, when of course it isn't. My hope is that our local commissioners have learned something about how this .-. Please see page 3 Collins will serve county's veterans After three months, Taylor County has a new veterans affairs officer, Joe Collins. Originally from Albany, Ga., Collins has lived in Perry for the past 31 years. He is a U.S. Navy veteran and served during the Korean War. Collins will fill the position left vacant when former Veterans Affairs Officer Scott Nobles Joe Collins resigned in August. According to Collins, his two priorities are jobs and healthcare. "Since I'm retired from the veterans administration, I have contacts," he said. "I am determined to serve veterans. Hopefully'I will be able to bring something to the table. "I want to make sure veterans are aware of the benefits available to them." He also said he would like to see the area veterans groups work together more. "That's important to me," Collins said. A graduate of the U.S. Navy Medical School in Bethesda, Md., he is a member of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and holds a Florida supervisor's license in lab work. Collins is the founder and director of CHC Labs in Lake City, where he continues to work part- time, and has taught at Lake City Community College. He is also a member of the Doctors' Memorial Hospital Board of Directors. Organizers report "a great turnout" for the 12th annual Public Safety Appreciation Cook Out held Friday, Nov. 18, at City Park. "This is one of our most favorite events--where we get to show appreciation to those who serve us," Perry/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce Director Dawn Taylor said.

The homestead was originally the Whiddon house, constructed in 1864, and was moved t'q its present location at the par! in 1972, where its been a highlight of the museum ever since. The "Back to the Blueprint" crew focused its morning on the corn crib behind the homestead. The small log building had been used to store animal feed. The projects for the day were to replace a log which was beginning to rot in the back wall of the corn crib as well as repair a rafter in its roof. Geis talked with Waters and Dunham about how the scenes would go and what each would say. Dunham has been restoring and renovating homes since he was 19 and has worked on several Parade of Home winning houses. Cameraman Mike Glickman and sound engineer Al McGuire prepared their equipment and then it was time for action. Several of the scenes were filmed multiple times with Waters and Dunham having to repeat their conversations each time. At times, they had to retake scenes when noise from the highway or nearby businesses cteeped in. To replace the old log, the two first had to use jacks to hoist the building up so they could pull it out. With the replacement log waiting, Dunham used a chainsaw on one end and then a hatchet on the other to create notches mimicking the one in the old log. Geis and the film crew hovered around constantly, finding just the right angle for each scene, occasionally trying several before moving on to the next step. At one point, Dunham replaced the notch he had just cut out of the log with the chainsaw so they could.redo the scge with a,better, angle Another time he forgot to Hall - Spruce up now for the holidays!

"It was funny having to walk . through the same thing three or four times," Griest said. "It was just like a movie. "I think they thoroughly enjoyed being here. It was very nice that they chose us. There were several places they could have gone." The episode with the Cracker ri Homestead is set to air next spring on the History Channel. "Back to the Blueprint" debuted last November with the first season including episodes on a 300-year old Saltbox home in Corknnecticut, a brown95st5 Mhone in New Bureau of Recreation and Parks Construction Specialist diner in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Binion Waters (left) looks on as "Back to the Blueprint" host Fox Tuscon Theatre in Tuscon, Marty Dunham cuts a notch in a log to replace a rotten one in Ariz. the corn crib at the Cracker Homestead. Whitfield stumps for 'clean industry' in Taylor County OPPONENTS Continued from page 1 proposed plant would affect the health, well-being and quality of life in Perry. The commissioners voted without much information-- three of them told me they had not heard anything directly from the power consortium prior to their vote. They didn't even know the difference in pulverized and gasification plants. They didn't ask any questions about pollution or talk to any physicians or scientists with concerns about particulate matter or mercury." The commission seems to be mainly concerned about the jobs this plant will create, Whitfield said, "and if it's all about jobs, then maybe we need a dialogue about jobs. When this first came up, all we heard about was the need for jobs in Perry. In the four months since then, we read that more than 500 jobs with decent pay and benefits are available right now.. Then we read that the (former) Sport-Craft boat plant is reopening; a huge marina/development is being built 'on our coast and two new hotels are also being proposed. "Why didn't our development authority think about these jobs before proposing a major polluter with only 150-180 jobs? "Perry could be developed in other ways...job creation that isn't polluting." I OENTHNKGI INGDA A-3 The Taco Times November 23, 2005 Negotiations ongoing. 'Millions' expected in NFPP donations SUPPORTERS Continued from page 1 Havana, Quincy, Starke and Williston. The 3,200-acre plant site is located about four miles southeast of Perry and is bordered by Highway 27 on the north, just east of Buckeye. McCain said now that the Tallahassee vote is done, the project partners can move forward with a complete team in place. A site access agreement is expected to be signed before the end of the year that will allow workers to get on the land to do soil borings, wetland assessments and other studies. While a "letter of intent" was signed in September, McCain said he hopes a more definitive agreement will be signed "early next year" for the final purchase of the property. The power plant permitting process is expected to take two years, so .groundbreaking could occur in 2008, and commercial operation could begin in 2012. During peak construction, the plant will employ some 1,500 workers. Once in operation, some 180 people will be employed. The generating unit will produce 800 megawatts of electricity, capable of serving 400,000 people, McCain said. Power plant officials have said that although the facility is municipally owned and, therefore, exempt from local property taxes, they will nonetheless be making annual contributions to the tax base here. Gunter said he, County Attorney Conrad Bishop and a Tampa attorney have been meeting with power group officials to negotiate what annual contributions in lieu of taxes the plant will contribute to the local coffers. One local official has said he expects that contribution to be "in the millions." LIMITED TIME 8-LB. ORECK XLI VACUUM CLEANER * Lightweight & Easy To Use * 3-Yr. Warranty f * Long 25-ftLCord I 5 Ib.

While waiting for the 50th anniversary Florida Forest Festival parade to begin, Queen Mother Hattie Adams had the opportunity to visit with "Mrs. Tourist" Sonja Sedberry. The Rotary Club of Perry has kicked off its annual chance drawing to raise money for its. scholarship fund. A new twist has been added to this event with the Richard Petty Experience. "You can win a chance to have one of the two greatest experiences with race car driving," Rotarian Dawn Taylor said. "Here's what you have a chance to win--the first is the 'Rookie Experience' where your hands are on the wheel, your foot is on the gas and you're in the driver's seat for eight laps around the speedway in a 358-cubic-inch V-8 NASCAR-style racecar that roars with 600 horsepower. Prior to driving, students will go through two elements of safety and instruction training, in-car and on- track instruction. After driving like the 'King,' students will receive a graduation packet that includes a time sheet with a breakdown of each lap driven. The program is three hours, the memories last a lifetime." She continued, "if driving is not your thing, then the 'Ultimate Experience' will be. The Richard Petty Driving Experience is taking you one step closer to experiencing firsthand the thrill and excitement of stock car racing. Experience a real race from the passenger's seat. Ride for six to 10 laps, (varies according to track size), from flag to flag as you experience side-by-side racing, drafting, passing, pit stops and more!" Tickets for the drawing are available from Rotary Club member. The drawing will be held Dec. 20. Red Hat float takes Grand Marshal's award Submitted to the Taco Times Twenty-seven members of the Roseheads, Perry's chapter of the Red Hat Society, met on Saturday, Nov. 5, at noon at Sisters' Tea Room. There were 24 Red Hatters (50 and over), five Pink Hatters (under 50) and two guests. The November planning committee included Cheryl Gregory, Norma McGuire and Mary Becht. The Red Hat bell was rung. Debi Limoges welcomed everyone to the meeting and began the discussion of the chapter's award- winning float by acknowledging Cheryl Gregory's leadership as chair of the float committee. Limoges gave an account of monies spent to cover the cost of materials. She reminded everyone that 2006 dues will be due by Jan. 31, 2006. Gregory thanked Limoges and the members for their "kind words" and explained why she sought Limoges out as co-chair. "Debi played a big part on this committee," said Gregory who then named all the members who worked on the float and the many ways they had contributed to its success. Queen Mother Hattie Adams acknowledged that some non-members had worked on the float, too. Everyone was delighted that Cookie Workman's husband, Holly, had pulled the float with his red tractor which he allowed to be decorated with red and purple. All agreed that he was a great driver and a "good sport" in his purple shirt and red hat. "A special treat was meeting Mrs. Tourist who is also a Red Hatter. I'm so glad her hostess, Linda Gunter, brought her to our float," stated Adams. She suggested that the plaque the group received for earning the Grand Marshal's award be kept on display at Sisters' Tea Room. "It will be enjoyed by more people here and can be displayed next to our charter," Adams continued. Everyone agreed. Photographs were enjoyed as they were passed from table to table. Norma McGuire said the blessing. Everyone enjoyed visiting together over a delicious lunch. Barbara Patrick reminded all that the next meeting will be Saturday, Dec. 3, and she shared thoughts the December committee had for this meeting. Final details will be in the next invitation. Birthdays for October and November were recognized. Mandy Cornelius led everyone in singing "Happy Birthday" to Queen Mother Hattie Adams who was presented a gift in honor of her 90th birthday, which was Oct. 10. The song, "Wind Beneath My Wings," was played and dedicated to Adams who is called the group's inspiration. Door prizes were provided by Norma McGuire, Mary Becht and Sharon Chase. Winners of the prizes were Marie Hill, Limoges, Deborah Cooper, Sharon Neiert, Bert Sabol and Norma Collins. Everyone was thanked for coming and reminded to take the gifts at each place setting as members. The gifts were provided by the November committee.

In addition to not being in our county, the suggested site is too far upstream to be practical. The boats would put a big strain on all the docks along' the river just getting to and from the Gulf. This boat ramp would require trash pickup, traffic control as well as a law enforcement presence. If you feel as I do, contact your county commissioners' and let them know. Marinelle Pattison, Taylor County resident has served their country. It has suddenly become apparent that the Veterans Memorial Park is being built and now the question is--who will maintain it? This writer has been a public servant for most of my life and is aware that there are high and low priority items within every governmental structure and therein rests the funding. The veterans represent a group who ask for no personal recognition. The Veterans Memorial Park is a public daily reminder of the price that has been paid by those who have served their country. Were it not for this group nation wide, there would be no freedom to live at peace and enjoy the life that we do. I would remind all that this park is dedicated to those who died defending this country as well as those who survived..It is our duty as survivors to be sure that their, - sacrifice is not forgotten. Many of us returned home as teenagers just as the veterans of the present war. These young veterans are the future of our community and country. The price to maintain this park is a small price to pay when you consider that no amount of money can be placed on the lives that have been and will be lost to make it possible. This park will also honor all who serve in the years to come. If properly funded and maintained it will be a park that each of us. can be proud of as well as those who visit, and pass through our community. C Carl Williams Taylor native speaks out on plant Dear Editor: I am a native of Taylor County who still has family there and I also own property there. I respect the people who are against the plant, but I have personal and professional experience living and working around a coal-powered plant in Jacksonville. I must state right here I have no vested interest in JEA other than paying. my monthly electric bill. For two years I worked as chief of security for the Jacksonville Seaport Authority where one of the ports was located across the highway from the coal-powered plant. At no time did I monitor fall-out from the plant because part of my job was to monitor caustic fall-out and to see if it came from the plant and/or the ships' smokestacks as it could eat the Please see page 4 TCCA: Thank you for support Dear Editor: The Taylor Coastal Communities Association would like to thank everyone who helped to make ourFall Festival at Keaton Beach a success.

Lynn Aibejeris, president TCCA B-2 Taco Times November 23, 2005 What do state constitutions have to declare about God? Dear Editor: Somewhere along the way, the federal courts and the Supreme Court have misinterpreted the U.S. Constitution. How could 50 states be wrong? After you've reviewed acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that just maybe the ACLU and out-of-control federal courts are wrong. America's founders did not intend for there to be a separation of God and state, as shown by the fact that all 50 states acknowledge God in their state constitutions. God Bless America. A sampling follows: Alabama, 1901, Preamble: We, the people of the State of Alabama, invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish the following constitution...

Please see page 4 Veterans thank community Dear Editor: On behalf of Taylor County veterans, we would like to extend our thanks and appreciation for the events held in honor of Veterans Day 2005. From the annual ceremony hosted by Taylor County High School's JROTC to the luncheon at Forest Capital Hall, it was a day that paid fitting tribute to the sacrifices and courage of the men and women who have served in the armed forces. We would like to especially thank the Board of Taylor County Commissioners and Rhonda Smith Letter about bills Dear Editor: This is in response to a letter taped to my door from Mayor Emily Ketring. Dear Mayor: I find myself in shock and angered over your letter to the residents of the city of Perry. It is as if you are saying "heads up" we are about to stick it to you on your heating bills this winter. I am an educated person who has kept up . with the news reports on the impending price increases for natural gas; none of the reports. for organizing the Nov. 11 lunch program. Mrs. Smith's hard work and attention to every detail helped make the event one that will be long-remembered. We would also like to recognize JROTC for the moving Veterans Day ceremony at the high school and for their role in the wreath- laying ceremony at the Taylor County Courthouse. Special thanks are also extended to event sponsors Martin Electronics, Inc., Timberland Ford, Smurfit Stone and United Steel Workers. Sincerely, Cliff Walters sparks response have indicated a 110 percent increase. The largest reported increase was 71 percent. Shame on you to look to the local churches to address an issue you were elected to address, Why not give the city budget to the local churches to manage? I am sure more citizens would stay warm this winter. Be assured my family will be looking for alternative means to heat our home this winter. I would advise others to do the same.

Dear Editor: I would like to take a moment to inform all parents of public school children in Taylor County what their children are being exposed to in the form of disciplinary matters. My child was recently given a referral on the school bus and upon his mother and I examining it found it completely dishonest. We called to contest the referral and were immediately given another long stream of dishonest remarks until we were finally granted a conference with the high school principal and the others involved. I don't care to get into the bogus disciplinary matter in this letter, but would simply like to pass along some statements' that were made that are indicative of how our children are supposed to "behave at the schools." When my child was asked to do something by a bus driver, he made the huge mistake of questioning the reasons for the request. This kind of behavior is seen as disruptive and must be punished, even if some of the details have to be lied about in order to justify the punishment. As the high school principal told my wife and I, our children should not ever ask "Why?" when asked to do something. The principal told us that if he was to ask a child to do, something and the child asked "Why?" that the child would be punished for disrespect'. He went on to state that even if the child did ask for reasons that he would not give them any reason. It seems that our children's purpose while attending school is l1, l.ili,,i follow the directions of so called authority figures, regardless of what is right or .'r,', mI.l d most assuredly without in r. .'I for what the child's parents teach them to do at home. ..Our children are stuck in an overtly totalitarian regime while attending school. They are being .taught to never question the instructions of anyone who is "designated" as their superior. I was asked at one point in the conference. "if your boss comes in your office and tells you to do something, would you ask them why?" to which I answered, of course. For one thing how do you know that what you are doing is correct without asking questions, Please see page 4 1/ r -Ail F '.1 ", Lube Oil & Filter Cho 1,.

Unfortunately, our children are being .shown that the best approach is not to think for your self,' and to blindly follow instructions. This will cause many students in our schools to become valuable only as "workers." They will not be capable of doing anything more than to follow the instructions that someone else gives Them. Individuality and freethinking will definitely be discouraged and eventually non-existent as this type of control, grows in our school system: Here's another example, how many of you have walked through the schools lately and heard teacher's, administrators, etc. telling the children to "make-the right choice." Has anyone given much thought to the question of who sets the guidelines for what the right choice is? While.making the right choice is an individual matter, the schools seem to use this as if their rules are the "choice," and therefore the only correct answer. To question the rules or the reason for any instruction is considered, "making the wrong choice." It is unfortunate in these days and times, but the best- advice to give our children in these. situations is to stand up for themselves and ask for the reasons. If some adults in, authority see this as disrespectful, so be it. It is my job to teach my children to think for themselves- .and'to stand up for. themselves, and if this is a punishable offense at school then the school can bring it on. -At the very least I will know that my children are being taught to be honest, to voice their own individual opinions, and to stand up for their rights. The concept of honesty seems to ibe something ,sorelv lacking in some of our "school board" employees. One other comment that was made in the conference; my wife. and I were told that be contesting this referral and setting. up a 'conference that we "were causing disruption" within the system as well. Perhaps the schools would like to punish us for speaking our mind as well. Dwayne Searcy No complaints about JEA PLANT Continued from page 2 paint off the imported new cars. I have lived five miles east of the JEA plant for the past fourteen years and have never noticed any Effects, detrimental or otherwise, from the plant. Because Perry is my hometown and I care about the People and my family I feel I must share my experiences with the citizens as I can attest to actual living conditions and not worst case scenarios. I know technology has increased significantly since the plant in Jacksonville was built and will only enhance the JEA plant in Perry. I would like to commend your' commissioners for voting for the JEA Plant. Many times an elected official has access to facts when making decisions that others do, not and those facts are what they use to determine how they vote. Perry is a small town, you know who you voted for. Do you really think they would knowingly hurt you? -Again, I admire. the people who are willing to fight for what they believe, but are.you a loud minority. From what I read in.the' papers I guess I am a part of the silent majority. Again, I have brothers, sisters, parents, children; grandchildren and an extremely large extended family located in Taylor County so I do not take this position lightly. Respectfully, Gloria Smith (Parker) Writer points to 'firm foundation' GOD Continued from page 2 political and religious liberty, we the people of .West Virginia...reaffirm our faith in and constant reliance upon God... History is on afirm foundation and.cannot be denied. I know there are a lot of smart people out there and more people with common sense out there. Therefore, anyone with the brain of a gnat would know, understand and believe there is God. Any questions? Research and read your history. Don't just give your uneducated opinion. Do your research?

Commercial & Residential. 8/5tfCS B53EE]m~ FINAL PUBLIC NOTICE Final notice under Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, is hereby given by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) intent to provide Public Assistance funding to a variety of projects located within the State of Florida. Included are projects related to: 1) The repair and restoration of water control facilities for the five water management districts located within Florida (Northwest Florida. Southwest Florida, Suwannee River, St. Johnis River. and South Florida Water Management Districts). The work may include dredging of sediment from the canals; repair, restoration, and stabilization of canal banks; and the seeding of the .restored area. S2) rne r r*.aor r3nd estoratidn,: of pialground equipme'rr athletic facilities, boat docks, piers, picnic tables, restrooms, and the repair 'and restoration of roads; buildings, and utilities. These activities will occur in state. county, or municipally owned park and recreational facilities located throughout the state. 3) The repair, restoration, or replacement of buildings, building roofs, shingles, doors, windows, shutters, walls, gutters, fences, gates, signs, awnings, railings, and includes furnishings and interior systems such as electrical work. These activities will occur on state, county, or municipally owned public buildings located throughout the state, 4), The repair, restoration, and. stabilization of road surfaces, bases; and shoulders, ditches, drainage structures, bridges, decking, piers, girders, abutments, slope protection, and approaches. These activities will occur on public roads and bridges throughout the state. Funds will be provided in accordance with the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288. as amended. Program: Public Assistance, FEMA Disasters DR-1539-FL, DR-1545-FL, DR-1551- FL, DR-1561-FL,,DR-1595-FL, DR-1602-FL, and any other as yet undeclared Presidential disaster declaration that may occur during the 2005 hurricane season. Sfatement'of Why Action is Located.in Floodplain: These projects Involve the repair and restoration of publicly owned :' facilities damaged during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane season, as discussed above.. The projects are located within the floodplain because: 1) Water control facilities are functionally ,dependent on their location, and therefore are generally located within mapped 100-year floodplains. 2) Pork and recreational facilities can be functionally dependent on their location and therefore be located within mapped 100-year floodplains. Other facilities may be utilization of public facilities within areas that cannot be developed. In most cases, these facilities also facilitate open space use. 3) The public buildings will be rebuilt within the floodplain when there are no practicable alternatives for moving them, because they might be functionally dependent on their location, or they may help facilitate open space use. .4) Roads are connected to roadway portions outside of the floodplain and practicable alternatives for moving them out of the floodplain do not exist. Bridge oare functionally dependent on their. location, and therefore located within mopped 100-year floodplains. Alternatives Considered: In all cases, the alternatives to be considered have been and will be: 1) Repair to pre- disaster conditions. 2) Repair to pre-, disaster conditions with mitigation to minimize impacts during future events. 3) No action alternative. Where possible, alternative locations outside of the floodplain will be examined. SApplicability of State/Local Floodplain %GULF COAST ,, iTALri C. Standards Funding will be conditional upon the projects conformity with all applicable state and local floodplain standards, the prolectis obtaining any necessary U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits, and the project complying with any terms and conditions placed by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Affects to the Floodplain and Mitigation: The proposed actions may have short- term impacts to the floodplain during construcTion These impacts would consist of short-term water quality impacts. In some cases, mitigation against damage during future events will be provided by repairing or replacing structures wih materials that give additional protection. Long term.direct and indirect impacts are not expected or are expected to be beneficial for various reasons.
