Environmental Assessment Elementary School, Chapman Unified School District, Chapman, Kansas

As a result of damage sustained from the tornado, Chapman USD has applied for funding under the Public Assistance Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In accordance with the Stafford Act, FEMA is required to review the environmental effects of the proposed action prior to making a funding decision. The original Chapman USD elementary school building was substantially damaged by the June 11th tornado. A damage assessment indicated the structure to be more than 50 percent damaged and therefore eligible for replacement. The damaged building will be demolished. Currently, the Chapman USD is utilizing 24 temporary buildings to serve as classrooms and administrative offices for the elementary school. The purpose of the proposed action is to replace the damaged elementary school building with a new facility so that the Chapman USD can provide a permanent, functional and effective environment for their elementary school students and faculty.
