This is in response to a letter from your office dated May 26, 2015, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of North Wilkesboro (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of $393,320.00 in Public Assistance (PA) funding for sediment removal. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant has not demonstrated that sedimentation resulting from the event caused immediate threats at other areas of the reservoir, as required for emergency work funding. In addition, the Applicant failed to produce maintenance records or surveys to establish the pre-event capacity, active use, and regular clearance of the reservoir, as required for permanent work funding. Accordingly, I am denying the appeal. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final Agency decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
