This Draft Environmental Assessment reviews expected environmental impacts associated with the proposed construction of the Warrenton VIPER Communications Tower using grant funds from the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. (The Homeland Security Grant Program is one of over 20 grant programs authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to help strengthen the Nation against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks.) The HSGP requires grantees to comply with all relevant Federal Laws, Executive Orders, and regulations including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). |
