AMENDMENT TO
FINDING OF
NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
TO ALL INTERESTED GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND PUBLIC GROUPS
As required by guidelines for the preparation of environmental impact statements, an environmental review has been performed on the proposed Clean Water State Revolving Fund action below:
PROJECT:
LOCATION: Minnehaha County, South Dakota
PROJECT NUMBER: C461232-51
TOTAL COST/SRF SHARE: $51,900,000.00
The city of Sioux Falls is proposing to demolish the existing primary clarifier facility and construct a new one at the proposed site at the water reclamation facility. The new facility will consist of three clarifiers with 95-foot diameters and 15-foot side water depths, with baffling. In addition to the new clarifiers, the site will have a new primary influent splitter structure, a new primary effluent splitter structure, a new PC sludge pumping building, new influent piping, new sludge and scum piping, and new effluent piping. The FNSI is being amended to reflect a change in the project area.
The proposed project is in east South Dakota within Minnehaha County. The proposed project corridor is near the town of Sioux Falls. The corridor surveyed is located within the Lower Big Sioux Archaeological Region as outlined in the South Dakota State Plan for Archaeological Resources.
In June 2026, Sioux Falls was awarded a $51,900,000.00 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan. The loan will have a rate of 3.75 percent and a term of 20 years. Repayment of the SRF loan will be with system revenues which provide the required 110 percent coverage.
The project will not affect any historical or archaeological resources as determined by a Cultural Resources Inventory Survey of the project area. In the event of an archaeological or historical resource being unearthed during construction, work will be stopped and the State Historic Preservation Office will be notified. The project should have no direct or indirect adverse effects on plant life or wildlife. The improvements, if necessary, will be flood proofed above the 100-year base flood elevation. The proposed project will not adversely affect wetlands. The United States Department of Agriculture determined that there will be no significant impact on farmland of statewide importance in Minnehaha County, and the Department of Agriculture determined that no further alternatives need be considered.
The review process did not indicate that significant environmental impacts would result from the proposed action. Consequently, a preliminary decision not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement has been made. This action is taken on the basis of a careful review of the engineering report, environmental information documents, and other supporting data which are on file at the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), Division of Financial and Technical Assistance, Pierre, South Dakota, and are available for public scrutiny at the Sioux Falls city office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Comments supporting or disagreeing with this decision may be submitted for consideration by DANR. After evaluating the comments received, the Department will make a final decision; however, no final administrative action will be taken on the project for at least 30 calendar days after release of the Finding of No Significant Impact.

SUMMONS
TO: JARVINE LIUR ECINOSG ONZALEZA, BOVE-NAMEDR ESPONDENT:
YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED and required to file an Answer to the VERIFIED PETITION To ESTABLISH PATERNITY, CUSTODY AND CHILD SUPPORT, a copy of which is herewith served upon you and is filed with the above-named Court, and to serve a copy of your Answer on the attorney for Petitioner, Dana Vuong of South Dakota Voices for Peace, at the address below, within thirty (30) days from the date of such service, not counting the day of service.
IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO, judgment by default may be rendered against you as requested in Petitioner’s VERIFIED PETITION To ESTABLISH PATERNITY, CUSTODY AND CHILD SUPPORT.
INITIAL CUSTODY ORDER
Pursuant to SDCL 25-4A-11 et. seq., upon service of this Summons the attached South Dakota Parenting Guidelines (Form UJS-03 2) become an order of this Court. Except as provided by SDCL 33-6-10, any minor child(ren) shall remain in the custody of the parent who has been the primary caregiver for the minor child(ren) for the majority of time in the twelve (12) months preceding the filing of this Summons and Petition to Establish Paternity, Custody, and Child Support, which in this action is the Petitioner, unless the parties otherwise agree. Pursuant to SDCL 25-4A-14, the guidelines are subject to any provisions established by a South Dakota Court in the following: a temporary or permanent domestic protection order, an order arising out of an abuse or neglect proceeding, a bond condition arising out of a criminal case, and an order in any other proceeding affecting child custody or support.
The attached guidelines shall apply and continue in effect unless the parties agree or the Court otherwise orders. The imposition of these standard guidelines creates no presumption as to who shall be awarded custody at any hearing. Pursuant to SDCL 25-4A 12, any agreement by the parties for visitation other than the standard guidelines must be in writing, signed by both parties, and filed with the Court. The agreed plan shall be approved by order of the Court and replace the standard guideline or any plan previously filed.
Pursuant to SDCL 25-4A-13, if either party objects to this initial order and implementation of the South Dakota Parenting Guidelines (Form UJS-302), the objecting party shall file an objection with the Clerk of Court. The Court shall order a hearing which shall be held not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the objection. The Court shall then issue its temporary custody and visitation order after considering the best interest of the child(ren) consistent with the provisions of SDCL 25-4-45.
WARNING TO PARTIES
IF EITHER PARTY VIOLATES ANY OF THESE PROVISIONS, THAT PARTY MAY BE FOUND TO BE IN CONTEMPT OF COURT AND MAY BE ORDERED TO PAY COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ATTORNEY FEES OF THE OTHER PARTY.
