Stewardship activities include, but are not limited to, conducting site visits; reviewing performance and financial reports; providing technical assistance and/or temporary intervention in unusual circumstances to correct deficiencies which develop during the project; assuring compliance with terms and conditions; and reviewing technical performance after project completion to ensure that the award objectives have been accomplished. Section LIII, NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA) REQUIREMENTS For this award, DOE has made a final NEPA determination for all activities under this award that are listed in the State Plan formally approved by DOE through incorporation into and attached to the award. You (Recipient) may proceed with the activities as described in the State Plan. This NEPA 3 determination is specific to the project as described in the State Plan formally approved by DOE through incorporation into and attached to the award. If you later add to or modify the activities in the approved State Plan, you must contact the DOE Project Officer identified in Block 15 of the Assistance Agreement. Those additions or modifications, including projects involving ground-breaking activities, new construction, or projects involving the installation of onsite renewable energy technology that generate electricity from renewable resources, as well as other related activities, may be subject to review by the NEPA Compliance Officer and approval by the DOE Contracting Officer, and may not be authorized for federal funding until DOE provides a NEPA determination on those additions or modifications. Restrictions include taking any action using Federal funds, which would have an adverse effect on the environment or limit the choice of reasonable alternatives prior to DOE providing a final NEPA determination. Should you move forward with activities that are not authorized for Federal funding by the DOE Contracting Officer in advance of the final NEPA determination, you are doing so at risk of not receiving Federal funding and such costs may not be recognized as allowable cost share. You are responsible for informing DOE of any extraordinary circumstances, cumulative impacts, or connected actions that may lead to significant impacts on the environment, or any inconsistency with the "integral elements" (as contained in 10 C.F.R. Part 1021, Appendix B) as they relate to a particular Project. States shall comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
