CRS Environmental and

Historic Preservation CERTIFICATIONS

520 (Acquisition and Relocation)

Compliance with Environmental and Historic Preservation Requirements
(see Section 521.b (7) in the CRS Coordinator’s Manual).

In the table below, list each property for which credit is desired under Activity 520, indicate the project date, and check the box that identifies the source of the project funding. Add additional copies of this page (CC-520-1(EHP)) as necessary. Then, complete pages CC-520-2(EHP) and CC-520-3(EHP), as appropriate, based on the project’s funding source.

If any FEMA funding was included in the project, then the source of funding is “FEMA.” FEMA funding includes FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants (under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program or the Pre-disaster Mitigation, Flood Mitigation Assistance, Repetitive Flood Claims, or Severe Repetitive Loss programs) and FEMA Public Assistance funds. If no FEMA funding was used but any other federal funds were included (e.g., from the Corps of Engineers), then the funding source is “Other Federal Agency.” If the project was funded only by state, local, and/or private funds, the source is “No Federal Funds.” An NFIP claim payment, including funds provided under Increased Cost of Compliance coverage, is considered “No Federal Funds.”

Note: The self-certification of compliance with environmental and historic preservation requirements incorporated into this certification applies only to projects implemented after the effective date of the 2013 Coordinator’s Manual.

Certification Statement for Acquisition and Relocation Projects




All properties marked “FEMA Funded” on CC-520-1(EHP) were included in the above description of the FEMA-funded project.




State and local requirements: In addition to federal laws, implementing regulations, and executive orders, this project took into consideration the requirements of all state and local environmental and historic preservation laws, ordinances, and permits that apply to this type of project. Communication with the appro­priate state agency and/or local government entity took place before project implementation. Any recommendations made by the agency or office were carried out.




National Historic Preservation Act: If any acquired or relocated structure affected by this project was 50 years of age or older at the time of the acquisition, communication with the State Historic Preservation Officer or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (if on tribal land or reservation) took place to determine if the structure was either on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (historic property) and to resolve any adverse effect(s) to the historic property.




Protection of floodplains (E.O. 11988—Floodplain Manage­ment): Consideration was given to the project’s long- and short-term adverse impacts that are associated with the occupance and modification of floodplains, and to avoiding direct and indirect support of floodplain development wherever there was a practicable alternative.

Retrofitting Documentation for Option 2 Credit

This is an optional certification that may be used for retrofitting projects that are not in a high hazard area and that do not need to be designed or approved by an engineer or architect. Signed elevation certificates are used for buildings retrofitted by elevation (TUE).

One copy of this form can be used for multiple properties that have the same score.

Dry floodproofed buildings (TUD)

This technique was used for property numbers _______________________________________________

___ The project was designed by a licensed engineer or architect and the design accounts for openings and internal drainage, seepage, and underdrainage. (TU = 0.6)

___ The project does not depend on human intervention to close openings, the project protects to a level less than 3 feet over the first floor, the design accounts for internal drainage, seepage, and underdrainage, and the building does not have a basement (i.e., any floor below grade on all sides). (TU = 0.4)

___ There is no documentation of how openings, interior drainage, seepage, or underdrainage are handled. (TU = 0.2)

Wet floodproofed buildings (TUW)

This technique was used for property numbers _______________________________________________

__ The project was designed by a licensed engineer or architect. (TU = 0.5)

__ The project was not designed by a licensed engineer or architect. (TU = 0.3)

__ The furnace, water heater, electrical breaker box, and other utilities are relocated above flood level.
(TU = 0.2)

Buildings protected from sewer or sump backup (TUS)

This technique was used for property numbers _______________________________________________

__ The building is located in the SFHA. (TU = 0.2)

__ The building is located outside of the SFHA and the community has a building code or other regulations that require positive drain sewers or other measures that prevent sewer backup into new buildings. (TU = 0.1)
