Activities That May Trigger EHP Review: Modification, Expansion, & Mitigation
Projects involving modification or expansion of existing structures can trigger an environmental and historic preservation review. Such activities include projects that improve a facility, repair or expansion of a facility other than the damaged facility, and implementing mitigation measures aimed towards reducing damage in future events. Activities involving demolition also trigger review for environmental and historic preservation considerations.
Typical environmental and historic preservation laws and executive orders that may apply include the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, National Historic Preservation Act, and Floodplains, Wetlands, and Seismic Retrofit Executive Orders. Common concerns may include increased air emissions, disruption to historic integrity or function, water discharges, and structural soundness (if in an seismically prone region).
