Recipients and subrecipients proposing projects <br />that have the potential to impact the environment, including but not limited to <br />construction of communication towers, modification or renovation of existing buildings, <br />structures and facilities, or new construction including replacement of facilities, must <br />participate in the FEMA EHP review process. The EHP review process involves the <br />submission of a detailed project description that explains the goals and objectives of the <br />proposed project along with supporting documentation so that FEMA may determine <br />whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or <br />historic properties. In some cases, FEMA also is required to consult with other regulatory <br />agencies and the public in order to complete the review process. The EHP review process <br />must be completed and approved before funds are released to carry out the proposed <br />project. FEMA will not fund projects that are initiated without the required EHP review. <br />Additionally, all recipients are required to comply with FEMA EHP Policy Guidance. <br />This EHP Policy Guidance can be found in FP 108- 023 -1, Environmental Planning and <br />Historic Preservation Policy Guidance, and FP 108.24.4, Environmental Planning and <br />Historical Preservation Policy. <br />11 <br />FY 2015 EMPG Program <br />55B -19 <br />
