Section J

DOCUMENTATION OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

AND CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE

Activities which are implemented, in whole or in part, with Federal funds must comply with applicable statutes and regulations established to protect the human and physical environment. Such statutes often include, but are not limited to, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Endangered Sp~cies Act, the National Historical Preservation Act, the Archeological Resource Protection Act, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and other applicable environmental and cultural laws, regulations and requirements.

A completed Environmental Checklist must be submitted with all proposals. This document will be evaluated to determine whether any additional environmental analysis is necessary in accordance with NEPA. As an example, an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) may be required if your proposal involves new construction, substantial modification to an existing structure, construction near a National Historic Site, in a flood plain, on or near critical habitat for endangered species, etc. Other proposals may also require an EA or additional documentation following review of your submitted checklist by the Federal Bureau ofPrisons.

Please fill out the attached Environmental Checklist and provide certification, by signing below, that applicable environmental laws and regulations have and will continue to be complied with, and that the information provided in the Environmental Checklist, and, if applicable, other documentation that is provided, is complete and accurate. Failure to accurately complete the environmental checklist may result in your proposal being removed from the competitive range.
