The grantee agrees to assist BJA in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other related <br />federal environmental impact analyses requirements in the use of these grant funds, either directly by the grantee or by <br />a subgrantee. Accordingly, prior to obligating grant funds, the grantee agrees to first determine if any of the following <br />activities will be related to the use of the grant funds. <br /> <br />The grantee understands that this special condition applies to its following new activities whether or not they are being <br />specifically funded with these grant funds. That is, as long as the activity is being conducted by the grantee, a <br />subgrantee, or any third party and the activity needs to be undertaken in order to use these grant funds, this special <br />condition must first be met. The activities covered by this special condition are: <br /> <br />a. New construction; <br />b. Minor renovation or remodeling of a property either (a) listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of <br />Historic Places or (b) located within a IOO-year flood plain; <br />c. A renovation, lease, or any proposed use of a building or facility that will either (a) result in a change in its basic <br />prior use or (b) significantly change its size; and, <br />d. Implementation of a new program involving the use of chemicals other than chemicals that are (a) purchased as an <br />incidental component of a funded activity and (b) traditionally used, for example, in office, household, recreational, or <br />education environments. <br /> <br />Application of This Special Condition to Grantee's Existing Programs or Activities: For any of the grantee's or its <br />subgrantees' existing programs or activities that will be funded by these grant funds, the grantee, upon specific request <br />from BJA, agrees to cooperate with BJA in any preparation by BJA of a national or program environmental assessment <br />of that funded program or activity. <br /> <br />9. This special condition facilitates compliance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) <br />relating to clandestine methamphetamine laboratory operations, including the identification, seizure, or closure of <br />clandestine methamphetamine laboratories [hereinafter, "meth lab operations"]. No monies from this award may be <br />obligated to support meth lab operations unless the grantee implements this special condition. <br /> <br />The Office of Justice Programs (OJP), in consultation with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Drug Enforcement <br />Administration, and the Office for Community Oriented Policing Services, prepared a Program-level Environmental <br />Assessment (Assessment) governing meth lab operations. The Assessment describes the adverse environmental, <br />health, and safety impacts likely to be encountered by law enforcement agencies as they implement specific actions <br />under their methamphetamine laboratory operations. Consistent with the Assessment, the following terms and <br />conditions shall apply to the grantee for any DJP funded methlab operations: <br /> <br />A. The grantee shall ensure compliance by OJP funded sub-grantees with federal, state, and local environmental, <br />health, and safety laws and regulations applicable to meth lab operations, to include the disposal of the chemicals, <br />equipment, and wastes resulting from those operations. <br /> <br />B. The grantee shall have a Mitigation Plan in place that identifies and documents the processes and points of <br />accountability within its state. This plan will be used to ensure that the adverse environmental, health, and safety <br />impacts delineated in the Assessment are mitigated in a manner consistent with the requirements of this condition. <br /> <br />C. The grantee shall monitor OJP funded meth lab operations to ensure that they comply with the following nine <br />mitigation measures identified in the Assessment and whose implementation is addressed in the grantee's Mitigation <br />Plan. These mitigation measures must be included as special conditions in all subgrants: (See Part II of this special <br />condition) <br /> <br />OJP FORM 4000/2 (REV. 4.88) <br />
