A TRIPE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK Acknowledgement of Project Contributors The Recipient must display, where appropriate and practical, publicly visible signs indicating that the project has received funding from the NOAA Restoration Center. These signs should also identify other contributing partners. These contributions should also be acknowledged in all communications with the media and the public and in all outreach related to the projects, consistent with Department of Commerce Financial Assistance Standard Term and Condition G.05.k.3., or any successor term. Project Safety The Recipient must have a written safety plan for management of the project, which should specifically address safety of project personnel, associates, visitors, and volunteers. The Recipient must conduct a safety briefing for volunteers immediately prior to their participation in hands-on restoration activities under this award. In addition, for any Self - Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) diving activities in a project, it is the responsibility of the Recipient to ensure that SCUBA divers are certified to a level commensurate with the type and conditions of the diving activity being undertaken. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the Recipient to ensure that any SCUBA diving activities under this award meet, at a minimum, all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations pertaining to the type of SCUBA diving being undertaken. Outstanding NEPA Documentation and Restricted Availability of Funds By accepting this award, the Recipient agrees to assist and cooperate with NOAA Fisheries in the preparation of any outstanding National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance documentation. For purposes of NEPA compliance, Phase 1 of the project includes feasibility studies; engineering and design studies; permitting; pre -project data collection; surveys; and pre -project monitoring. The activities for which work can proceed (as described above) will have no significant individual or cumulative adverse effects on the environment. The Recipient will not expend any funds for construction until impacts have been assessed, and NEPA compliance documentation has been completed by NOAA. At this time, $4,547,597 in funding is available to the Recipient to complete Phase 1 tasks outlined above. Phase 2 NEPA impacts will be assessed when more project details are available. Project Milestones To ensure adequate and timely progress towards project completion, NOAA and the Recipient have cooperatively identified several milestones as outlined throughout the proposal narrative. Project progress will be evaluated throughout the award with particular emphasis on meeting these milestones. NOAA reserves the right to pursue enforcement action for the award under 2 C.F.R. 200.339-.343 at any time throughout the award period should NOAA determine that a Recipient is not meeting project milestones as outlined in the application submitted to the NOAA Grants Management Division for funding.
