ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE

I. Purpose of Applicants Analysis

The Federal assistance, which you have requested, is of a nature that requiressubmission of an analysis of the probable environmental effects of the proposed project.Authority for such action is derived from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of1969 (P.L. 91-190). This analysis should conform in format with the outline describedbelow as may be most applicable to the circumstances of your particular project. Theanalysis will be separately bound and accompany the applicants formal request forassistance. Since required ED/NEPA assessment of the environmental impact of any

particular project cannot be initiated without prior submission of such data by theapplicant, the processing of such applications will be deferred by ED pending receipt ofsuch an analysis.

In the event that the Department determines that preparation of an EnvironmentalImpact Statement will be necessary, the applicant may be requested to furnishadditional materials to facilitate the development of such a document by Regional Officeofficials.

Applicants are further cautioned that conformance with ED/NEPA procedures shall notobviate the need for applicant compliance with applicable state and local environmental

use and review requirements.

Should you have any questions regarding the preparation of your analysis, contact your

Federal program officer.

B. Description of the Environment to be Affected

The environment should be considered as being that area which the proposedproject would both impact upon and serve. The greatest detail shouldconcern the probable environmental impact of the project on the particular

site of construction and its surrounding community, both in the short andlong term. This section should broadly and briefly discuss the geography ofthe area, wildlife, water and air quality, area population and potential usersof the service to be provided, the economy of the area, and any presentenvironmental concerns.
