Section 250-RICR-150-20-1.7 - Environmental ReviewA. All Section 212 ( 13 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018)) projects funded by the SRF Program must have the environmental impacts of project alternatives analyzed and evaluated as part of facilities planning or reaffirmation of the environmental review of an existing Wastewater Facilities Plan (WWFP). All Section 212 projects will include an Environmental Assessment and, if significant impacts on the environment are identified at any point in the planning process, an Environmental Impact Statement must be prepared. DEM will prepare any FONSI or ROD that is required. DEM shall review and approve all properly documented requests for Categorical Exclusions. DEM can only issue Certificates of Approval for Section 212 design and construction projects identified in a DEM-approved Wastewater Facilities Plan and its associated environmental review. The State Environmental Review Process (SERP) for Section 212 projects is conducted pursuant to § 1.12 of this Part. 1. The environmental review requirements for most Section 319 and Section 320 (33 U.S.C. §§ 1329, and 1330 (2018)) projects will be satisfied when they are consistent with either the NPS Plan or the CCMP. Certain Section 319 and 320 projects with Section 212 attributes may be subject to additional environmental review requirements.2. At the request of another state agency, or quasi-state agency, the SERP may be used by the Director to assess the environmental impacts of activities funded through programs other than the SRF program.250 R.I.
