Comments: 08/26/2006-Cleaning of historic building materials, systems and fmishes must be executed in accord with the 
guidance contained in the U.S. Department of the Interior, NPS, Preservation Brief No. 6, Dangers of Abrasive Cleaning to 
Historic Buildings, (see http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/tps/briefs/brief06.htm). Requirements include: identification of 
materials to be cleaned, protection of materials not to be cleaned, identification of gentlest means of cleaning possible and 
testing of cleaning means and methods. Work is to be executed by qualified workers, with documented successful 
experience working with historic building materials. Abrasive methods ofcleaning are prohibited including: power 
washing, pressure washing and blasting, unless under the supervision of a qualified Building Conservator or Historical 
Architect. Washing with potable water, non-ionic detergent, scrubbing with natural bristle brushes and rinsing with potable 
water is acceptable for most historic building materials. Other methods may be acceptable when specified by a qualified 
Historical Architect (36cfr part 61). Failure to comply with these stipulations may jeopardize receipt of FEMA funding. 


V. Gomez, Historic Preservation Specialist 

08/26/2006 -FEMA's Programmatic Agreement (PA), dated December 3,2004, provides for expedited project review 
under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The scope of work as submitted in this PW has been 
reviewed and meets the criteria outlined in Appendix A, Programmatic Allowances, Section {II-BI, II-El, II-C2, II-CI, IIA4, 
II-A2, 11-01, II-D2, II-F2, II-B2} , of the document. In accordance with the Pa, FEMA is not required to detennine the 
National Register eligibility of properties or to submit projects to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) for review 
where the work perfonned meets these allowances. In keeping with the stipulations ofthe PA, all proposed repair activities 
should be done in-kind to match existing materials and fonn. Any change to the approved scope of work will require 
resubmission for re-evaluation under Section 106 and consultation with the SHPO. Non-compliance may jeopardize the 
receipt offederal funding. This concludes the section 106 review for this project. V. Gomez, Historic Preservation 
Specialist

v. Environmental Review Project Conditions 

General comments: None 

Project Conditions: 

1. As per 44 CFR 9.11, mitigation or minimization standards must be applied. Where possible, 
building contents, materials, components and equipment (mechanical or electrical) must be 
elevated to or above Advisory Base Flood Elevations. Per 44 CFR 9.12, a final public notice is 
to be published 15 days prior to the start ofany construction activities. Documentation of 
completed public notice is to be forwarded to FEMA and LA GOHSEP for inclusion in the 
permanent project files. 
2. Cleaning ofhistoric building materials, systems and finishes must be executed in accord with 
the guidance contained in the U.S. Department ofthe Interior, NPS, Preservation Brief No. 6, 
Dangers ofAbrasive Cleaning to Historic Buildings, (see 
http://www.cr.nps.govlhps/tpslbriefslbrief06.htm). Requirements include: identification of 
materials to be cleaned, protection ofmaterials not to be cleaned, identification ofgentlest 
means ofcleaning possible and testing ofcleaning means and methods. Work is to be executed 
by qualified workers, with documented successful experience working with historic building 
materials. Abrasive methods ofcleaning are prohibited including: power washing, pressure 
washing and blasting, unless under the supervision ofa qualified Building Conservator or 
Historical Architect. Washing with potable water, non-ionic detergent, scrubbing with natural 
bristle brushes and rinsing with potable water is acceptable for most historic building materials. 
Other methods may be acceptable when specified by a qualified Historical Architect (36CFR 
Part 61). Failure to comply with these stipulations may jeopardize receipt ofFEMA funding. 
3. In keeping with the stipulations ofthe P A, all proposed repair activities should be done in-kind 
to match existing materials and form. Any change to the approved scope ofwork will require 
resubmission for re-evaluation under Section 106 and consultation with the SHPO. Noncompliance 
may jeopardize the receipt offederal funding. 
4. Unusable equipment, debris and material shall be disposed of in an approved manner and 
location. In the event significant items (or evidence thereof) are discovered during 
implementation ofthe project applicant shall handle, manage, and dispose ofpetroleum 
products, hazardous materials and/or toxic waste in accordance to the requirements and to the 
satisfaction ofthe governing local, state and federal agencies. 
5. Removal and disposal ofdebris containing household hazardous waste and certain categories of 
liquid wastes must be performed in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws, 
regulations, executive orders and guidelines. LAC Title 33 part VII requires that specified 
items, including lead acid batteries, used oil filters, used motor oil, scrap tires, CFC's 
(refrigerants), radioactive waste or regulated infectious wastes must be segregated from and 
excluded from non-hazardous debris collection, staging, processing and disposal sites. Failure 
to comply with applicable legal requirements in debris collection and/or disposal operations 
will jeopardize federal funding. The clean-up or restoration/repair of sites damaged as a result 
of such operations are ineligible for federal funding. Previously obligated funding is subject to 
de-obligation if a determination of ineligibility is made. Applicants managing debris staging, 
processing, burning or disposal sites (other than previously permitted landfills) that have been 
permitted by Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality must also complete an 
Emergency Debris Management Site Certification (Self Certification) regarding compliance 
with all applicable substantive laws and executive orders.
