The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that explains the goals and objectives of the proposed project along with supporting documentation so that DHS/FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties.

The EHP review process must be completed before funds are released to carry out the proposed project. If ground disturbing activities occur during project implementation, the Subrecipient must ensure monitoring of ground disturbance and if any archeological resources are discovered, the Subrecipient shall immediately cease construction in that area and notify FEMA, AZDOHS and the appropriate State Historic Preservation Office.
