This pw reimburses the eligible applicant for the demolition and replacement of the school facility, along with the legal disposal of debris generated. Some hazard mitigation will be achieved through compliance with codes and standards during the construction of the new facility.

However, demolition still must be carried out in accordance with the low-impact removal stipulations for demolition in order to comply with the Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Failure to do so mayjeopardize federal funds. V.Gomez, Historic Preservation Specialist Record of Environmental Consideration (Version 7/1/06) Reviewer Name: Adam Borden, Environmental Specialist Project Name/Env. Database No: Borgnemouth Elementary School FEMA-1603/1607-DR-LA PW#9363 Parish: St. Bernard -Archaeological review complete: Scope of work indicates ground disturbing activities associated with the demolition and rebuild of the structure within its pre-disaster footprint. Upon consultation of SHPO data, there is a known archaeological sites within 275 meters of the project area. Demolition must follow the lower 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 of federal funding. 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 harm to the finds. The applicant shall inform their Public Assistance (PA) contacts 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 of the discovery. If this scope of work 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 outside of the pre-disaster footprint of the building.
