ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND HISTORIC PRESRVATION (EHP) COMPLIANCE As a federal agency, FEMA is required to consider the effects of its actions on the environment and/or historic properties to ensure that all activities and programs funded by the agency, including grants - funded projects, comply with federal EHP regulations, laws and Executive Orders as applicable. Sub - Recipient's proposing projects that have the potential to impact the environment including but not limited to construction of communication towers modification or renovation of existing buildings structures and facilities or new construction including replacement of facilities must participate in the FEMA EHP review process. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that explains the goals and objectives of the proposed project along with supporting documentation so that FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. In some cases, FEMA also is required to consult with other regulatory agencies and the public in order to complete the review process. The EHP review process must be completed and approved before funds are released to carry out the proposed project. FEMA will not fund projects that are initiated without the required EHP review. Additionally, all Sub -Recipients are required to comply with DHS/FEMA EHP Policy Guidance FEMA Policy #108-023-1.
