B. Flood Disaster Protection. In accordance with the requirements of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. § 4001), Subrecipient shall assure that for activities
located in an area identified by FEMA as having special flood hazards, flood insurance
under the National Flood Insurance Program is obtained and maintained as a condition of
financial assistance for acquisition or construction purposes (including rehabilitation).
C. Lead-Based Paint. Subrecipient agrees that any construction or rehabilitation of
residential structures with assistance provided under this Agreement shall be subject to
HUD Lead-Based Paint Regulations, 24 CFR Part 35, implementing Title X of the

lead based paint requirements under 24 CFR § 570.608. Such regulations pertain to all
CDBG-assisted housing and require that all owners, prospective owners, and tenants of
properties constructed prior to 1978 be properly notified that such properties may include
lead-based paint. Such notification shall point out the hazards of lead-based paint and
explain the symptoms, treatment and precautions that should be taken when dealing with
lead-based paint poisoning and the advisability and availability of blood level screening
for children under seven. The notice must also point out that if lead-based paint is found
on the property, abatement measures may be undertaken. The regulations further require
that, depending on the amount of Federal funds applied to a property, paint testing, risk
assessment, treatment and/or abatement may be conducted.
D. Historic Preservation. Subrecipient agrees to comply with the Historic Preservation
requirements set forth in the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16
U.S.C. § 470) and the procedures set forth in 36 CFR Part 800, Advisor Council on
Historic Preservation Procedures for Protection of Properties, insofar as they apply to the
performance of this Agreement. In general, this requires concurrence from the State
Historic Preservation Officer for all rehabilitation and demolition of historic properties
that are fifty years or older or that are included on a Federal, state or local historic
property list.
