health hazards. Determine whether nearby toxic, hazardous or radioactive substances could affect the health and safety
of project occupants. Submit the information and findings gathered to MFA for review.
6. Provide MFA with proposed measures to mitigate the adverse environmental condition (e.g., shielding, removing or
encapsulating the toxic substances) according to the requirements of the appropriate federal, state or local oversight
agency; OR reject the subject proposal. Attach all pertinent documentation.
