ACTION: Notice.

(EIR)(EIS/EIR) for the Marysville Hotel Demolition Project located in Marysville, CA. The City of Marysville, CA, will prepare the EIS/EIR acting under its authority as the responsible entity for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act

The EIS/EIR will be a joint NEPA and CEQA document. The EIR will satisfy requirements of the CEQA (Public Resources Code 21000 *et seq.* ) and State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations 15000 *et seq.* ), which require that all state and local government agencies consider the environmental consequences of projects over which they have discretionary authority before acting on those projects. Because federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG)funds (under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974) would be used, the proposed action is also subject to NEPA. This notice is given in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500-1508. All interested federal, state, and local agencies, Indian tribes, groups, and the public are invited to comment on the scope of the EIS.

The following alternatives will be considered: • *Alternative 1 (the proposed action):* Acquisition and Demolition. The Marysville Hotel would be acquired and demolished. • *Alternative 2:* Reuse for Mixed Commercial/Residential Use. The Marysville Hotel would be refurbished for reuse with commercial and residential uses. • *Alternative 3:* Reuse for Commercial/Senior Affordable Housing. The Marysville Hotel would be refurbished for reuse with commercial and senior affordable housing uses. • *No Project—No Action.* No action would be taken and the hotel would remain in its current condition. The EIS/EIR will address, among others, the following environmental issues: air quality, cultural resources, flood hazard, noise, toxics, traffic, land use and environmental justice. Questions may be directed to the individual named in this notice under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: February 11, 2004. Roy A.
