Summary & Background HUD Requirement
The environmental review process is required for all Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) assisted projects to ensure the proposed projects do not negatively impact the surrounding environment and the property site does have an adverse environmental or health effect on end users.
All projects are not subject to a full environmental review (i.e., every project's environmental impact must be examined, but the extent of this examination varies), but every project must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and other related Federal and State environmental laws. The Department of Community Development's work with BluLynx Solutions will include the completion of federally mandated environmental reviews for the ESG, CDBG, CoC, and HOME grant programs.
Scope of Work: To continue assisting the Department of Community Development in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements so that the County meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. Prepare the Environmental Review Record (ERR). Identify any required mitigation. Prepare and certify site-specific environmental review records for each project approved for funding and determine the level of environmental review necessary for the release of HUD funds for each project. Prepare all environmental supporting documentation, preparation of public notices for publication, distribution to appropriate State and Federal offices, and provision of original final documents (if necessary). The renewal contract will allow the completion of environmental review records to be performed as outlined in Attachment “A”.
Community Impact: Environmental reviews ensure proposed projects do not negatively impact the surrounding environment and the property site does have an adverse environmental or health effect on end- users.
Department Recommendation: Approve the requested action.
Project Implications: The department does not have the staff capacity to meet the environmental review demand across all program areas. Failure to approve the contract renewal will delay processing of ERR’s and subsequently delay services to Fulton County constituents.
