Sec. 624.8  Environment.

    Environmental aspects of emergency work are to be given careful 
consideration. A program environmental impact statement (EIS) for EWP 
work has been developed in compliance with section 102(2)(C) of the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-190, 83 Stat. 852 
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)). An environmental evaluation is to be prepared 
for all nonexigency situations. State conservationists shall notify 
concerned area and field offices of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the 
Environmental Protection Agency, and, through existing coordination 
mechanisms of State clearinghouses, the State fish and game and other 
appropriate agencies of anticipated EWP work. They shall invite the 
assistance of these agencies in preparing the environmental evaluation 
and in planning and implementing the emergency work. Archeological, 
historical, or other special expertise needed is to be solicited from 
appropriate agencies and groups. Environmental and other considerations 
are to be integrated into emergency work by using an interagency and 
interdisciplinary planning approach.
