The Contractor shall maintain an awareness of changing environmental regulatory requirements to avoid environmental deficiencies for activities on MANWR. The Contractor shall ensure that their Sub-contractors (if any) comply with these specifications.

NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act): NEPA compliance for the sewer work is being prepared by MANWR staff. The Contractor will coordinate with the MANWR staff for any deviations from existing sewer plans.

For all seawall repairs/improvements and work in the harbor area (including the jetties, harbor wall, piers, and any other facilities), the Contractor shall provide support services to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA), Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), and to provide public engagement planning and support services that meet the requirements of NEPA, Council

Page | 6 on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA regulations, Department of the Interior (DOI) NEPA Implementing Procedures (43 CFR 43, Subtitle A Part 46), DOI Department Manual (DM) 516 DM 8, and USFWS Procedures for Documenting and Implementing NEPA decisions (550 FW 3).

The Contractor will consider green and green-gray infrastructure solutions in the alternatives. All support services will be provided with review by the FWS. The FWS anticipates that actions proposed by the Contractor are not likely to result in significant impacts to the human and natural environment, and thus qualify for preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to satisfy NEPA requirements. If, following consultation with stakeholders and analysis, a significant impact is identified such that a FONSI is no longer warranted, it may be necessary to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). In this case, the Service may request a modification to the SOW and budget to reflect the additional requirements and cost of producing an EIS.

• NMFS/USFWS Endangered Species Act consultation (FWS and NMFS) regarding issuance of Incidental Take Permits (ITP).

• NMFS Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) – Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation.

• NMFS Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) – consultation with NMFS regarding issuance of an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) or Letter of Authorization

(LOA).

• USFWS Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA).

• USFWS National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) – FWS has special procedures for NHPA compliance at MANWR. Coordination is required. NHPA compliance for the sewer will be prepared by MANWR staff. The Contractor will coordinate with the MANWR staff for any deviations from existing sewer plans. The Contractor will work closely with FWS for NHPA compliance for seawall repairs/improvements and work in the harbor area.

• USFWS Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) compliance.

• Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM) Permit
