follows these guidelines. Failure to comply with these conditions may jeopardize FEMA funding; verification of compliance is required at project closeout. 14) If any asbestos containing material, lead based paint, or other hazardous materials are found during remediation or repair activities associated with demolition of derelict structures, compliance with all federal, state, and local abatement and disposal requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) shall be required. Verification of compliance is required at project closeout. 15) The project sponsor must obtain and comply with all applicable permit and approvals required by Federal, State, Tribal, and local regulatory agencies. 16) If any actions have the potential to affect biological resources, including threatened and endangered species, the State shall be notified and FEMA would consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 17) Perform skidding or yarding operations when soil conditions are such that soil compaction, displacement, and erosion would be minimized. 18) Suspend skidding or yarding operations when soil moisture levels could result in unacceptable soil damage. 19) Use low ground pressure equipment when practicable, particularly on equipment traveling over large portions of units with sensitive soils or site conditions. 20) Establish designated areas for equipment staging and parking to minimize the area of ground disturbance. 21) Work with the contractor to locate landings, skid trails, and slash piles in suitable sites to avoid, minimize, or mitigate potential for erosion and sediment delivery to nearby waterbodies. 22) Develop an erosion control and sediment plan that covers all disturbed areas including skid trails and roads, landings, cable corridors, temporary road fills, water source sites, borrow sites, or other areas disturbed during mechanical vegetation treatments. 23) Avoid ground equipment operations on unstable, wet, or easily compacted soils and on steep slopes unless operation can be conducted without causing excessive rutting, soil puddling, or runoff of sediments directly into waterbodies. 24) Install suitable Stormwater and erosion control measures to stabilize disturbed areas and waterways on incomplete projects before seasonal shutdown of operations or when severe storm or cumulative precipitation events that could result in sediment mobilization to waterbodies are expected. 25) Routinely inspect disturbed areas to verify that erosion and Stormwater controls are implemented and functioning as designed and are suitably maintained. 26) Implement mechanical treatments on the contour of sloping ground to avoid or minimize water concentration and subsequent accelerated erosion. 27) Minimize skidder and other heavy equipment operation in wetlands during wet conditions to avoid widespread excessive soil rutting. 28) To the greatest extent possible: forestry operations in wetlands which exhibit seasonal inundation or saturation should be limited to dry conditions only, and forestry operations in wetlands which are continually saturated or inundated should be limited to low-water conditions. 29) When skidding in wetlands with organic soils, concentrate skid trails to as small an area as possible, and minimize the number of trails on a given site. 30) Maintain habitat features by carrying out activity on forestlands, such as harvesting (including thinning), site preparation, burning, etc. 31) Locate concentrated heavy equipment operations (e.g. log decks, landings, main skid trails, ramps, etc.) away from known and visibly apparent active burrows, and especially known concentrations of active burrows. If concentrated heavy equipment operations must be located in such areas: (a) identify and mark burrows, (b) avoid damage to the burrow opening, and (c) avoid damage to the 33
