FEMA PUBLIC NOTICE 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes to assist the State of Vermont 
with its planned re-occupation of the Waterbury State Office Complex. To meet the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), FEMA has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) to identify and evaluate any historic and environmental 
resources that might be affected by proposed demolitions, construction, and re-occupation. As 
part of its goal to ensure that good management decisions are made, FEMA invites the public to 
review and comment on the EA and to provide the Agency with information it may not have 
considered in its review. 

Beginning on August 10, 2012, the EA will be posted on FEMA’s website at 

https://edit.fema.gov/environmental-planning-and-historic-preservation-program/environmentaldocuments-
and-public-notice-2. The EA will also be posted on the Vermont state website at 
http://vtstrong.vermont.gov/ and town of Waterbury website at http://www.waterburyvt.com/recovery/. 
The comment period will last for a total of 14 days, ending on August 24, 2012. A copy of the 
EA will also be available by August 10 at the Waterbury Municipal Office, 43 South Main 
Street, Waterbury (8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday-Friday), and at the Waterbury Public Library, 
28 North Main Street, Waterbury (10:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday-Wednesday, 10:00 am to 5:00 
pm Thursday and Friday, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Saturday). 

Comments on the draft EA can be submitted by mailing Jack Sullivan, Regional Environmental 
Officer, FEMA Region 1, 99 High Street, 6th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, or by 
emailing Jack.Sullivan@fema.dhs.gov, or by faxing 617-956-7574.
