Who is required to act to ensure compliance with NEPA?
There are two major areas where NEPA requires action by BJA grantees: • Any BJA grantee with a project involving construction, expansion, renovation, facility planning, site selection, site preparation, and security or facility upgrades. The grantee must be in compliance with NEPA requirements during the initiation of the project-as part of planning, site selection, and site preparation. The BJA grantee must complete the NEPA process prior to actual construction, expansion, renovation, or remodeling (including security upgrades). • Any BJA grantee with a project involving the use of chemicals, including clandestine methamphetamine laboratory operations (such as clean up) and the use of chemicals in processing forensic evidence. For projects involving clean up of clandestine methamphetamine labs, BJA has already obtained a program-wide Environmental Assessment (EA). As a result, the grantee must only provide and get approval of a mitigation plan prior to moving forward with the project.
