About this file
This is an Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation Decision Support System (DSS) document recording the approval of a Multi-facility Roof Repair/Replacement project at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) Charleston facility.
The project, identified as DSS-FLETC-2026-25078, seeks to repair and/or replace roofs on multiple buildings across the FLETC Charleston campus located at 2000 Bainbridge Ave, North Charleston, South Carolina, 29405. The project has a proposed timeline from April 13, 2026 to April 12, 2027, with FY 2026 funding. The project has completed all required environmental review stages: In Preparation (04/13/2026), Environmental Review (04/14/2026), and Project Approved (04/14/2026). The project is categorically excluded under DHS CATEX D3 (Repair and Maintenance Activities) as it involves repair and maintenance of Department-managed buildings that do not result in a change in functional use or impact on historically significant elements. No mitigation, Environmental Assessment (EA), Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), or tribal consultation is required. The Memorandum for Record documents that the action is not expected to result in significant adverse environmental impacts and qualifies for categorical exclusion in accordance with DHS Directive 023-01 and Instruction 023-01-001-01, Implementation of NEPA. Seven Statements of Objectives (SOOs) are attached addressing roof replacement requirements for Buildings B1, B16, B23, B26, B46, B53, and B61. Document preparer is Jeff Blankenship (jeff.blankenship@fletc.dhs.gov) and Environmental Reviewer is Stephen DeRohn (stephen.derohn@fletc.dhs.gov).

DHS National Environmental Policy Act Memorandum For Record for Categorically Excluded Actions that do not require a REC
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Memorandum for Record is to provide a record that the potential for impacts to the quality of the human environment has been considered in the decision to implement the Proposed Action described below, in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and DHS Directive 023-01 and Instruction 023-01-001-01, Implementation of NEPA. DHS has previously analyzed actions of this type and concluded that there is no potential for significant impact on the human environment, that a DHS Categorical Exclusion applies, and that a more detailed review and documentation in a Record of Environmental Consideration is not necessary.

SECTION II - Finding
Page 4 of 6 Printed On 4/14/2026 7:01:04 AM
This action is not expected to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts as described in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The proposed action has been thoroughly reviewed by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers and it has been determined, by the undersigned, that this action is categorically excluded under current DHS by the undersigned, that this action is categorically excluded under current DHS CATEX (D3; ) from further environmental documentation, in accordance with DHS Directive 023- 01 and Instruction 023-01-001-01, Implementation of NEPA, since implementation of this action:
Clearly fits within one or more of the categories of excludable actions listed in Appendix A of DHS Instruction 023-01-001-01;
1.
Has not been segmented into smaller parts in order to avoid a more extensive evaluation of the potential for significant environmental impacts; and
2.
Does not involve any extraordinary circumstances, as defined in DHS Instruction 023-01-001-01, Section V(B)(2), that would create the potential for a normally excluded action to have a significant environmental effect.
3.
DHS is aware of the November 12, 2024 decision in Marin Audubon Society v. Federal Aviation Administration, No. 23-1067 (D.C. Cir. Nov. 12, 2024). To the extent that a court may conclude that the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA are not judicially enforceable or binding on this agency action, DHS has nonetheless elected to follow those regulations at 40 C.F.R. Parts 1500–1508, in addition to the Department’s procedures/regulations implementing NEPA in Instruction 023-01-001, rev. 01, “Implementation of NEPA” to meet the agency’s obligations under NEPA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321 et seq.
