Background Generally, plantings such as trees, shrubs, and other vegetation are not eligible for replacement under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Relief and Emergency Disaster Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (Repair, Restoration, and Replacement of Damaged Facilities). FEMA acknowledges the economic and environmental benefits of replacing trees, shrubs, and other plantings, but has determined that replacement of trees, shrubs, and other plantings damaged or destroyed by a disaster does not impact essential services. This policy defines ineligible work related to trees, shrubs, and other plantings, and defines the limited eligibility for replacement of grass and sod associated with facilities eligible for repair and restoration. Limited instances when plantings are eligible include grass and sod replacement if it is an integral part of the repair of an eligible recreational facility (e.g., publicly owned football, soccer, baseball fields, golf courses); plantings when they are part of an emergency protective measure or the repair of an eligible facility for the purposes of stabilizing slopes (including dunes on eligible improved beaches), erosion control, or minimizing sediment runoff; and plantings required for the mitigation of environmental impacts such as impacts to wetlands or endangered species habitat. Eligibility of the above plantings is limited to plantings that are required under a Federal, State, Tribal, or local government code or regulation. This policy was previously issued on July 18, 2007. The policy was reviewed according to the established schedule for FEMA Public Assistance policies. E:\FR\FM\06AUN1.SGM 06AUN1
