~ . <br /> FmHA Instruction 1944-N <br /> Exhibit F-2 <br /> Guide: Grantee's Process for Identifying Properties <br /> Requiring FmHA Environmental Assessments <br /> <br /> I. Before beginning work on a particular dwelling, we (grantee) agree to <br /> <br /> answer the following questions in accordance with the accompanying <br /> guidelines: <br /> A. Floodplains, Wetlands, and Costal Barrier Resources System <br /> (CBRS) <br /> 1. Is the dwelling located in a 100-year floodplain? <br /> The grantee will check the latest Federal Emergency Management <br /> Ag-ncy (FEMA) Floodplain Insurance Rate Maps to determine if <br /> the property is located in a 100-year floodplain. These maps <br /> are provided by FEMA to each communitywhich has been mapped, <br /> and may be reviewed at le,cal municipal or county governmental <br /> offices. FEMA maps may be purchased from FEMA's Flood Map <br /> Distribution Center by calling 1-800-333-1363. In addition, <br /> Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) County Offices maintain an <br /> unofficial set of the maps. If a community has not been <br /> mapped, information regarding floodplains may be obtained from <br /> the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), the U.S. Fish and <br /> Wildlife Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. <br /> Geological Survey offices, or regional or State agencies <br /> established for flood prevention purposes. <br /> The grantee will check with the FmHA County Supervisor if a <br /> dwelling appears to be in a questionable location. When <br /> advised to do so by FrnHA or on^_ of the above agencies, the <br /> grantee will obtain the services of a registered engineer or <br /> appropriate environmental professional to make the floodplain <br /> determination. <br /> 2. Is the dwelling located in a wetland? <br /> The grantee will check with the local SCS office to determine <br /> if the dwelling is located in a wetland protected by Executive <br /> Order 11990, "Protection of Wetlands." When advised to do so <br /> by SCS or FmHA, the grantee will obtain the services of an <br /> appropriate environmental professional to make the wetland <br /> determination. <br /> (09-01-93) PN 212' <br /> <br />
