Compliance Determination
PROJECT IS IN COMPLIANCE. This project is located in a state that does not contain CBRS units. Therefore, this project is in compliance with the Coastal Barrier Resources Act. OFFIAL CBRS MAPS: The John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) is a collection of specific units of land and associated aquatic habitats that serve as barriers protecting the Atlantic, Gulf, and Great Lakes coasts. The CBRS currently includes 585 System units, which comprise nearly 1.3 million acres of land and associated aquatic habitat. There are also 274 "otherwise protected areas," a category of coastal barriers already held for conservation purposes that include an additional 1.9 million acres of land and associated aquatic habitat. In the early 1980s, Congress recognized that certain actions and programs of the Federal Government have historically subsidized and encouraged development on coastal barriers, resulting in the loss of natural resources; threats to human life, health, and property; and the expenditure of millions of tax dollars each year. To remove the federal incentive to develop these areas, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) of 1982 and subsequent amendments designated relatively undeveloped coastal barriers along the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico coasts as part of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS), and made these areas ineligible for most new federal expenditures and financial assistance. CBRA encourages the conservation of hurricane prone, biologically rich coastal barriers by restricting federal expenditures that encourage development, such as federal flood insurance. Areas within the CBRS can be developed provided that private developers or other non-federal parties bear the full cost.

Flood Insurance
General requirements

Certain types of federal financial assistance may not be used in floodplains unless the community participates in National Flood Insurance Program and flood insurance is both obtained and maintained.

|
24 CFR 50.4(b)(1) and 24 CFR 58.6(a) and (b); 24 CFR 55.1(b).

1. Does this project involve financial assistance for construction, rehabilitation, or acquisition of a mobile home, building, or insurable personal property?
|
No. This project does not require flood insurance or is excepted from flood insurance.
|
2. Upload a FEMA/FIRM map showing the site here:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designates floodplains. The FEMA Map Service Center provides this information in the form of FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). For projects in areas not mapped by FEMA, use the best available information to determine floodplain information. Include documentation, including a discussion of why this is the best available information for the site. Provide FEMA/FIRM floodplain zone designation, panel number, and date within your documentation.
Is the structure, part of the structure, or insurable property located in a FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Area?
Based on the response, the review is in compliance with this section.
Screen Summary
Compliance Determination
PROJECT IS IN COMPLIANCE. Based on FEMA's Flood Map Information at Community Map Panel Number 53033-C-0630-F, dated 5-16-95, the subject property appears to be located in a non-shaded Zone X area located outside of the 100-year and 500-year floodplain areas, so the structure and / or insurable property is NOT located in a FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Area. While flood insurance may not be mandatory in this instance, HUD recommends that all insurable structures maintain flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The project is in compliance with flood insurance requirements.

The Clean Air Act is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which sets national standards on ambient pollutants. In addition, the Clean Air Act is administered by States, which must develop State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to regulate their state air quality. Projects funded by HUD must demonstrate that they conform to the appropriate SIP.

Screen Summary
Compliance Determination
PROJECT IS IN COMPLIANCE. Based on the project description, this project includes no activities that would require further evaluation under the Clean Air Act. The project is in compliance with the Clean Air Act. WASHINGTON STATE AIR QUALITY RESOURCES INCLUDE: American Lung Association (ALA) of Washington; Local Air Quality Agencies - Washington; Northwest Clean Air Agency; Olympic Region Clean Air Agency; Puget Sound Clean Air Agency; Puget Sound Clean Air Agency - Air Quality Right Now; State of Washington-Department of Ecology-Air Quality Program; and Washington Smoke Information Blog. NON-ATTAINMENT AREAS FOR WASHINGTON STATE: Washington state DOES NOT have any areas designated nonattainment for a federal health-based air quality standard. Tacoma-Pierce County was redesignated to attainment in March 2015 and is in maintenance status for the 2006 daily PM2.5 standard. WHAT IS NON-ATTAINMENT: A "nonattainment" classification means that air quality in a particular region does not meet (or "attain") a federal air quality standard. The federal Clean Air Act is the law that defines the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) responsibilities for safeguarding the nation's air quality. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA sets limits on how much pollution can be in the air. These pollution limits are called National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). There are NAAQS for six common air pollutants: particulate matter (also sometimes called PM2.5 and PM10, or particle pollution), ground-level ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NO2) and lead (Pb). THE CLEAN AIR ACT: The Clean Air Act requires EPA to review its standards every five years to ensure they still effectively protect human health and the environment. EPA sets the standard based on scientific evidence, and is not allowed to consider the cost of pollution controls when setting them. The standards are based solely on health. When an area's monitored air pollution exceeds the NAAQS a certain number of times, EPA designates it as a nonattainment area. This designation is determined by a formula that uses the number of times the standard is exceeded each year. The formula includes three years of data to ensure that an area isn't designated as nonattainment because of one unusual year. See Air Quality Designations.

Screen Summary
Compliance Determination
PROJECT IS IN COMPLIANCE. This project is not located in or does not affect a Coastal Zone as defined in the state Coastal Management Plan. The project is in compliance with the Coastal Zone Management Act. Coastal Zone Management Program & Policies We manage Washington's Coastal Zone Management Program through existing state environmental laws. Policies within each of these state laws are federally approved and designated as enforceable policies. Washington chose to rely on our existing state regulatory framework to address coastal zone issues rather than draft a new, all-encompassing piece of legislation. Because of this, Washington does not have a stand-alone program for coastal zone management. Six state laws provide the framework to fulfill the federal priorities of the Coastal Zone Management Act, working to preserve, protect, develop, and where possible, to restore or enhance the resources for this and succeeding generations: Clean Water Act Clean Air Act Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council Law Ocean Resource Management Act Shoreline Management Act State Environmental Policy Act Policies we use to uphold Coastal Zone Management Act Policies within each of these state laws are federally approved and designated as "enforceable policies" to manage our coastal zone. Generally, enforceable policies outline the land and water uses allowed within the coastal zone which have a direct and significant impact on the coastal waters. These enforceable policies are important because they are used for state review authority of federal agency actions. Please contact us for a list of current enforceable policies.
