(Review Concluded) 

Comments: 8/31/2006 -The structures do not meet the 50-year-criterion, nor do they possess the level ofexceptional 

importance required by Criteria Consideration G of the National Register Guidelines to be considered eligible for the 

National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, the proposed work will have no effect on standing historic properties. 

Scope ofwork indicates minor ground disturbing activities associated with the demolition and replacement ofthe 

modular/non-permanent structures within their original locations. Upon consultation ofdata provided by the State Historic 

Preservation Officer (SHPO), there are no known archaeological sites within .5 miles of the project area. Demolition must 

follow the Low Impact Demolition Stipulations & Additional Protocols which are attached. The stipulations and protocols 
should be explicit in the demolition contract. Failure to comply with these stipulations & additional protocols will 
jeopardize receipt offederal funding. Scope ofwork for walkway and utility repair/replacement as submitted meets the 
criteria outlined in the Programmatic Agreement dated December 3, 2004, Appendix A, Section I, A and D. In accordance 
with this document, FEMA is not required to submit projects to the SHPO for review where the work performed meets these 
allowances. If during the course ofwork, archaeological artifacts (prehistoric or historic) or human remains are discovered, 

the applicant shall stop work in the vicinity ofthe discovery and take all reasonable measures to avoid or minimize harm to 
the finds. The applicant shall inform their Public Assistance (PA) contacts at FEMA, who will in turn contact FEMA 

Historic Preservation staff. The applicant will not proceed with work until FEMA Historic Preservation staffhave 
completed consultation with the Louisiana State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO).ln addition, if unmarked graves are 

present, compliance with the Louisiana Unmarked Human Burial Sites Preservation Act (R.S. 8:671 ET SEQ.) is required. 
The applicant shall notify the law enforcement agency ofthe jurisdiction where the remains are located within twenty-four 

hours of the discovery. The applicant shall also notify FEMA and the Louisiana Unmarked Burial Sites Board (call the 
Louisiana Division of Archeology at 225-342-8170) within seventy-two hours ofthe discovery. If this scope ofwork and/or 
the location of the new buildings, walkways, and/or utilities change, this project will need to be resubmitted for further 
Section 106 review prior to ground disturbing activities taking place. -Katherine Zeringue, Historic Preservation

V. Environmental Review Project Conditions 

General comments: None 

Project Conditions: 

I. 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. Demolition must follow the Low Impact Demolition Stipulations & Additional Protocols. The 
stipulations and protocols should be explicit in the demolition contract. Failure to comply with 
these stipulations & additional protocols will jeopardize receipt of federal funding. Scope of 
work for walkway and utility repair/replacement as submitted meets the criteria outlined in the 
Programmatic Agreement dated December 3, 2004, Appendix A, Section I, A and D. In 
accordance with this document, FEMA is not required to submit projects to the SHPO for 
review where the work performed meets these allowances. If during the course of work, 
archaeological artifacts (prehistoric or historic) or human remains are discovered, the applicant 
shall stop work in the vicinity ofthe discovery and take all reasonable measures to avoid or 
minimize hann to the finds. The applicant shall inform their Public Assistance (PA) contacts at 
FEMA, who will in turn contact FEMA Historic Preservation staff. The applicant will not 
proceed with work until FEMA Historic Preservation staff have completed consultation with 
the Louisiana State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). In addition, if unmarked graves are 
present, compliance with the Louisiana Unmarked Human Burial Sites Preservation Act (R.S. 

8:671 ET SEQ.) is required. The applicant shall notifY the law enforcement agency of the

jurisdiction where the remains are located within twenty-four hours of the discovery. The 

applicant shall also notify FEMA and the Louisiana Unmarked Burial Sites Board (call the 

Louisiana Division of Archeology at 225-342-8170) within seventy-two hours ofthe discovery. 

If this scope of work andlor the location of the new buildings, walkways, andlor utilities 

change, this project will need to be resubmitted for further Section 106 review prior to ground 

disturbing activities taking place. 

3. 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 of the project applicant shall handle, manage, and dispose of petroleum 
products, hazardous materials andlor toxic waste in accordance to the requirements and to the 
satisfaction of the governing local, state and federal agencies. 
4. 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 vn 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 andlor 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. 
5. In accordance with the Formosan Termite Initiative Act, (LA R.S. 3:3391.1 thru 3391.13) the 
Louisiana Parishes of Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, 
St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington are 
under quarantine. The movement of wood or cellulose material, temporary housing or 
architectural components (e.g. beams, doors and other wood salvaged from a structure) may not 
leave the quarantined parishes without written authorization from the commissioner of the 
Louisiana Department ofAgriculture and Forestry or his Designee(s). 
6. Regardless of the asbestos content, the applicant is responsible for ensuring that renovation or 
demolition activities are coordinated with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality 
(LDEQ) in accordance with the LDEQ "Sixth Amended Declaration of Emergency and 
Administrative Order" dated June 30, 2006 or latest amended declaration, incorporating the 
provisions of EPA's National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and 
the Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) 33.m.5151 and Chapter 27. Should Asbestos 
Containing Materials (ACMS) be present at the project site, the applicant is also responsible for 
ensuring proper disposal in accordance with the previously referenced administrative order. 
7. Activities involving abrading (sanding, scraping, etc.), heating, stripping, or otherwise 
concentrating Lead Based Paint (LBP) shall comply with applicable provisions of29 CFR Parts 
1910 and 1926 (OSHA -Worker Safety), and 40 CFR 260 through 268 (EPA -Hazardous 
Waste). The applicant is responsible for ensuring that renovation or demolition activities are 
coordinated with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality for abatement activities 
and is also responsible for ensuring proper disposal in accordance with the previously 
referenced regulations.

sequestered in accordance with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) 
"Declaration of Emergency; Mercury-Containing Devices and Electronic Equipment as 
Universal Waste" letter dated October 3, 2005. 

9. The scope of work to replace a structure to pre-disaster condition with upgrades and 
improvements, in order to meet current codes and standards, is not expected to change the 
original footprint. In the event these upgrades and improvements result in a change to the 
overall footprint, a subsequent change to this scope of work will be required. Any change to the 
project scope of work will require re-submission through the State to FEMA and consequently 
requires re-evaluation for compliance with National Environmental Policies. Non-compliance 
with this requirement may jeopardize receipt of federal funds. 

Monitoring Requirements: None
