Project NamelNumber: Engine 14 Fire Station/ PW 1840 Version 11 FIPS 071-55000-00 

Applicant Name: Orleans Parish 

Project Location: 200 South Robertson St., New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana (29.9575N,

Comments: The structure(s) does not meet the 50-year-criterion, nor does it possess the level of exceptional importance 
required by Criteria Consideration G of the National Register guidelines to be considered eligible for the National Register 
of Historic Places. Scope of work indicates ground disturbing activities associated with [elevating condensing units, vertical 
bracing, and elevating water heater]. Upon consultation of data provided by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), 
there are no known archaeological sites within .25 miles of the project area and all work will occur within a previously 
disturbed area. Therefore, the scope of work as submitted meets the criteria outlined in the Programmatic Agreement dated 
December 3, 2004; Appendix A, Section [II-A-2, II-A-4, II-B-I, II-C, II-E-l, and II-H] and the proposed work should not 
affect historic properties. 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 of the 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 tum contact FEMA Historic Preservation (HP) staff. The applicant will not proceed 
with work until FEMA HP completes consultation with the SHPQ. 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

discovery. The applicant shall also notify FEMA and the Louisiana Division of Archaeology at 225-342-8170 within 
seventy-two hours ofthe discovery. If this scope ofwork and/or the footprint/location ofthe new building changes, this 
project will need to be resubmitted for further Section 106 review prior to ground disturbing activities taking place. Failure 
to comply with these stipulations may jeopardize receipt offederal funding.
