I. Introduction

The Nebraska State Office of USDA Rural Development has updated the
Natural Resource Management Guide. This Guide replaces the Natural
Resource Management Guide dated August 9, 1999. The Guide will serve as
an essential mechanism for implementing the environmental policies and
procedures for Rural Business Service, Rural Housing Service and Rural
Utilities Service.

\"USDA Rural Development recognizes that its specific mission of
assisting rural areas,... rural towns, goes hand-in-hand with protecting
the environmental resources upon which these systems are dependent."
(1940.304(a))

The basic content, purposes and uses of the Guide are summarized as
follows:

> A. The Guide shall serve as an inventory of the locations within the
> State of those natural resources, land uses, and environmental factors
> that have been specified by Federal, State, and local authorities as
> deserving some degree of protection or special consideration;
>
> B. The Guide shall be considered by USDA Rural Development management
> in decisions relating to the use of available program resources;
>
> C. Applications for individual projects must be reviewed for
> consistency with the Guide.

The Natural Resource Management Guide is [not]{.underline} intended to
result in a plan or be a plan. It is intended to be a framework of major
environmental standards and review requirements that have been
promulgated at the Federal level as well as the State. It provides
listing of natural opportunities and constraints for various land use
activities against which proposals for development can be evaluated.
Finally, it serves as a useful planning tool for prospective applicants.

NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

II\. Environmental Requirements

USDA Rural Development published its environmental requirements in FmHA
Instruction 1940-G and 7CFR Part 1794. The content of the Instruction is
derived from requirements contained in major environmental laws and
regulations affecting USDA Rural Development programs such as the
Council on Environmental Quality Regulations, Farm Protection Policy
Act, and USDA Departmental Regulation 9500-3, Land Use Policy.

A. General Policy

> 1\. USDA Rural Development will consider environmental quality as
> equal with economic, social, and other relevant factors in program
> development and decision-making processes.
>
> 2\. In assessing the potential environmental impacts of its actions,
> USDA Rural Development will consult early with appropriate Federal,
> State, and local agencies and other organizations to provide
> decision-makers with both the technical and human aspects of
> environmental planning. The performance of environmental reviews and
> the consideration of alternatives will be initiated as early as
> possible in the USDA Rural Development application review process so
> that the Agency will be in the most flexible and objective position to
> deal with these considerations.
>
> 3\. When adverse environmental impacts are identified, either direct
> or indirect, an examination will be made of alternative courses of
> action, including their potential environmental impacts. The objective
> of the environmental review will be to develop a feasible alternative
> with the least adverse environmental impact. The alternative of not
> proceeding with the proposal will also be considered particularly with
> respect to the need for the proposal.
>
> 4\. If no feasible alternative exists, including the no-action
> alternative, measures to mitigate the identified adverse environmental
> impacts will be included in the proposal.

B. Land Use Policy

> 1\. USDA Rural Development recognizes that its specific mission of
> assisting rural areas, composed of farms and rural towns, goes
> hand-in-hand with protecting the environmental resources upon which
> these systems are dependent. Basic resources necessary to both farm
> and rural settlements include important farmlands and forestlands,
> prime rangelands, wetlands, and floodplains. The definitions of these
> areas are contained in the Appendix to the Departmental Regulation
> 9500-3, Land Use Policy. Given the importance of these resources, as
> emphasized in the Departmental Regulation, Executive Order 11988,
> "Floodplain Management", and Executive Order 11990, "Protection of
> Wetlands", it is USDA Rural Development\'s policy not to approve or
> fund any proposals that, as a result of their identifiable impacts,
> direct or indirect, would lead to or accommodate either the conversion
> of these land uses or encroachment upon them. The only exception to
> this policy is if the approving official determines that:
>
> \(i\) there is no practicable alternative to the proposed action,
>
> \(ii\) the proposal conforms to the planning criteria identified in
> Paragraph B.b. of this section, and
>
> \(iii\) the proposal includes all practicable measures for reducing
> the adverse impacts and the amount of conversion/encroachment.
>
> 2\. It is also recognized that unless carefully reviewed, some
> proposals designed to serve the needs of rural communities can
> adversely affect the existing economic base and settlement patterns of
> the community, as well as create development pressures on land and
> environmental resources essential to farm economies. An example of
> such a proposal might be the extension of utilities and other types of
> infrastructure beyond a community\'s existing settlement pattern and
> into important farmlands for the purpose of commercial or residential
> expansion, even though there is available space within the existing
> settlement pattern for such expansion. Not only may the loss of
> important farmlands unnecessarily result, but the community may be
> faced with the economic costs of providing public services to outlying
> areas, as well as the deterioration of its central business or
> commercial area; the latter may not be able to compete with the newer,
> outlying commercial establishments. These results are undesirable, and
> to avoid their occurrence, projects designed to meet rural community
> needs (i.e., residential, industrial, commercial, and public
> facilities) will not be approved unless the following conditions are
> met.
>
> \(i\) The project is planned and sited in a manner consistent with the
> policies of this section, the Farmland Protection Policy Act, and
> Departmental Regulation 9500-3, Land Use Policy.
>
> \(ii\) The project is consistent with an existing State and County
> comprehensive and enforceable plan that guides growth and reflects a
> realistic strategy for protecting natural resources. (If no such plan
> or policies exist, there is no USDA Rural Development requirement that
> either be prepared and adopted, as further specified in Paragraph B.3.
> of this section.)
>
> \(iii\) The project will encourage long-term, economic development
> patterns that ensure compact community development appropriate to
> regional needs. Development such as the rehabilitation and renovation
> of existing structures, systems and neighborhoods; infilling of
> development; the provision of a range of moderate-to-high residential
> densities will be considered first. When these development patterns or
> types are not practicable, the development must be contiguous with the
> existing settlement pattern and provide for a range of
> moderate-to-high residential densities. It is recognized that some
> USDA Rural Development Community Programs projects are designed to
> serve rural residents, such as rural water and waste disposal systems
> and, therefore, cannot be limited in service area to those areas
> contiguous with existing settlement patterns. These types of projects
> will be designed to primarily serve existing structures and rural
> residents in noncontiguous areas. Any additional capacity within the
> system will be limited to meet reasonable growth needs, and, to the
> extent practicable, be designed to meet such needs within existing
> settlements and areas contiguous to them.
>
> 3\. The conditions specified in Paragraph B.2. of this section should
> not be construed as advocating excessive densities, congestion, or
> loss of open space amenities within rural communities. Desirable
> living conditions can be obtained under these objectives, along with
> economic and social benefits for the community and the surrounding
> farm operations. Additionally, these conditions should not be
> construed as requiring localities to develop plans which contain the
> conditions. In any instance in which these planning conditions or
> criteria do not exist within the project area, project reviews will
> not be postponed until the criteria are adopted. Rather, projects
> shall be reviewed and funding decisions made in light of a project\'s
> consistency with the contents of this Guide (excluding Item (ii) of
> Paragraph B.1. of this section, which would not be applicable).

III\. Intergovernmental Review

The State of Nebraska has eliminated the review system for projects
subject to Executive Order 12372. Present procedures satisfy the
requirement of notifying the directly affected entities.

IV\. Existing Federal and State Laws, Regulations, Standards or
Procedures that Protect Designated, Important Land Uses and
Environmental Resources within the State.

Following is a listing of important land uses or features as well as
environmental and cultural resources that have been designated by
Federal and State agencies as deserving of some form of protection,
conservation or other designated level of consideration. The materials
that follow specify (a) the designated resource, (b) the level or degree
of protection to be afforded the resource, (c) agency or agencies having
jurisdiction or special expertise and (d) brief description where the
resource is located within the State. When Federal, State, or local
designations overlap, the most restrictive standard applies.

A. Resource - Floodplains/Wetlands

A.  

> 1\. Level of Protection: Projects shall be examined for conformance to
> Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, Executive Order 11990,
> Protection of Wetlands, and Departmental Regulation 9500-3, Land Use
> Policy. A determination of whether the project will cause changes in
> the natural values and functions of the wetlands or floodplains is
> required. Where it is determined that there will be an effect on a
> floodplain or wetland, Departmental Regulation 9500-3, Land Use
> Policy, requires public notification both prior to and following the
> assessment of alternatives, and mitigation measures. A higher degree
> of protection is afforded critical actions (500-year floodplain). This
> includes facilities which produce, use, or store volatile, flammable,
> explosive, toxic or water reactive materials, and structures used for
> schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and handicapped housing.

3.  Location of Resource: There are nine wild and scenic rivers. Their
    location is designated in Attachment A.

C. Resource - Historic and Cultural Preservation

1.  Level of Protection: At the earliest stages of consideration of an
    application or as part of the environmental review process, USDA
    Rural Development will identify any properties that are listed in,
    or may be eligible for, listing in the National Register of Historic
    Places and are located within the project\'s area of potential
    environmental impacts. Consultations will be undertaken with the
    State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Advisory Council
    on Historic Preservation, in order to determine the most appropriate
    course of action for protecting such identified properties or
    mitigating potential adverse impacts to them.

> The new Section 106 requires that we consult with tribes just as we
> have consulted with SHPO's in the past. Remember that they are
> sovereign nations.
>
> The difficulty in implementing this law is that the Council of
> Historic Properties and the USDA-RD National Office have not yet
> issued guidance on that issue. Therefore, we are making assumptions on
> what projects the tribes want to comment on. We do not want to waste
> their resources on projects unlikely to affect their responsibilities.

A.  The tribes want to comment only on projects that include excavation
    that have the potential to destroy archeological resources.

B.  Any previous excavation such as building roads, ditches, utilities,
    and building footings would have uncovered artifacts. This activity
    reduces the chances of finding archeological artifacts because they
    should have been reported to the SHPO. If not the site may have been
    raided and the artifacts are lost.

C.  Thus only excavations on undisturbed ground will justify contacting
    tribes. When a project includes excavation on a site that is
    previously undisturbed, i.e. lots where there are no previous
    excavations, pastures and fields tribes should be contacted.

V. Cumulative Impacts

Environmental reviews must be particularly sensitive to the potential to
create cumulative impacts. A single activity may produce a negligible
effect on the environment. However, a series of similar activities may
produce cumulative effects on certain aspects of the environment.
Cumulative impacts are important for several reasons. Individual
development decisions often combine in complex ways. Their total
impacts, in respect to many social, economic, public service and
environmental measures, are not simply additive, but may amount to
something more than and different from the sum of their parts. Extensive
development may lead to fundamental changes in the rural community.

USDA Rural Development programs with the potential to create cumulative
effects include:

> A. Community Programs: Care must be taken to assess the growth
> inducing potential and consequent urban sprawl of these systems. This
> will require early consultation with local community leaders and
> planners. The potential problem is particularly relevant to those
> existing and proposed systems adjacent to the State\'s larger
