Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 126 Species Act). Proposer and City will comply with the findings of the Section 7 Endangered Species Act consultation, if applicable. Disaster-Specific Guidance (“DSG”) A policy statement issued in response to a specific post-event situation or need in a state or region. Each DSG is issued a number and is generally referred to by its numerical identification. Eligible Qualifying for and meeting the most current stipulated requirements (at the time the written Notice to Proceed is issued and executed by the City to the Proposer) of the FEMA Public Assistance Grant Program, FEMA Publication 104-009-2 (additional information below), and all current FEMA fact sheets, guidance documents, and DSGs. Eligible also includes meeting any changes in definition, rules, or requirements regarding debris removal reimbursement as stipulated by FEMA during the course of a debris removal project. Endangered Species Act Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, (See 50 CFR Part 402), requires all federal agencies to consult with the National Marine Fisheries Service (“NMFS”) for marine and anadromous species, or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”) for fresh-water and wildlife, if they are proposing an action that may affect listed species or their designated habitat. “Action” is defined broadly to include funding, permitting, and other regulatory actions. (See 50 C.F.R. § 402.02.) Each federal agency is to ensure that any action they authorize, fund, or carry out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of a designated critical habitat. This is done through consultation. If such species may be present, the local government must conduct a biological assessment (“BA”) to analyze the potential effects of the project on listed species and critical habitat to establish and justify an effect determination (assistance and coordination may be available from the State of California, especially with transportation projects). The federal agency reviews the BA and, if it concludes that the project may adversely affect a listed species or its habitat, it prepares a biological opinion. The biological opinion may recommend reasonable and prudent alternatives to the proposed action to avoid jeopardizing or adversely modifying the habitat. FEMA Publication 104-009-2 Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide This publication is specifically dedicated to the rules, regulations, and policies associated with public assistance programs and the debris removal process. Familiarity with this publication and any revisions can help a local government limit the amount of non-reimbursable expenses. The Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide provides the framework for the debris removal process authorized by the Stafford Act, including the following: a. Eliminating immediate threats to lives, public health, and safety. b. Eliminating immediate threats of significant damage to improved public or private property. c. Ensuring the economic recovery of the affected community to the benefit of the community at large.
