Activities That May Trigger EHP Review: New Construction & Ground Disturbance
Any activities that involve ground disturbance or new construction will trigger a review for environmental and historic preservation considerations. Typical activities usually include:
- Construction of new facilities
- Relocating facilities to a new location
- Mitigation measures such as flood control and vegetation management
- Construction of group temporary housing facilities
Common environmental and historic preservation laws and executive orders include the Endangered Species Act; Floodplains, Wetlands, and Environmental Justice Executive Orders; The National Historic Preservation Act; Farmland Protection Policy Act; Clean Air Act; Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation; and Recovery Act; and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Usual concerns may include presence of threatened and endangered species, wetlands, archeological artifacts, and hazardous materials as well as impacts on prime and unique soils and floodplains.
