Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains and wetlands 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 and wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the Town of Delhi at the following address on or before October 18, 2024: Jesse Washington, Mayor, Town of Delhi, P.O. Box 277., Delhi, LA 71232-0277.
