This Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) evaluates the environmental impacts of dam safety actions in FEMA Region 4, covering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The document addresses repair, rehabilitation, replacement, reconstruction, or removal of dams to reduce the risk of breach or failure, with compliance to NEPA, NHPA, ESA, and relevant executive orders. It outlines conditions and best practices for dam safety projects, including permitting, environmental protection, and safety requirements for dam owners and subrecipients. The PEA establishes thresholds for when further environmental review is needed and provides guidance for project implementation under FEMA grant programs.
