The Honorable Deke Copenhaver
Augusta City/Richmond County
City County Building #11, Room 801
Augusta, GA 30911
Dear Mayor Copenhaver:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of
Federal funding to compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice
Programs (OJP), U.s. Department of Justice is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP,
its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), and the Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and regulations. We at
OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice
Department funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race,
color, national origin, religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to
employment practices but also in the delivery of services or benefits. Federal law also prohibits funded programs
or activities
from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42
U.S.C. !}2000d, recipients of Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access
to their programs and activities for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). For more information on the
civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals, please see the
website at http://www.1ep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations
The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith-based
organizations. In general, the regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations;
Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment
Regulation 28 C.F.R. part 38, requires State Administering Agencies to treat these organizations the same as any
other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from making award or grant
administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the
religious composition of its board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the Department of
Justice to fund inherently religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded
inherently religious activities, they must be held separately from the Department of Justice funded program, and
customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes
clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to
discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the
regulation, please see OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/etfbo.htm.
1) Meeting the EEOP Requirement
State Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as
amended; the Victims of Crime Act, as amended; and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as
amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. These employment
provisions have been specifically incorporated into 28 C.F.R. Part 38.1(t) and 38.2(f). Consequently, in many
circumstances, it would be impermissible for faith-based organizations seeking or receiving funding authorized by
these statutes to have policies or practices that condition hiring and other employment-related decisions on the
religion of applicants or employees. Programs subject to these nondiscrimination provisions may be found on
OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/. Questions about the regulation or the statutes that prohibit
discrimination in employment may be directed to this Office.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of Federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant
award, or the number of employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful
discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints from
both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects a number of recipients each year
for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal employment
opportunity standards.
Complying with the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements
In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to
the nondiscrimination provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968,
42
u.s.c 9 3789d(c), or other Federal grant program requirements, must meet two additional requirements:(I)
complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the development of an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan
(EEOP), 28 C.F.R. 9 42.301-.308, and (2) submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. 99
42.205(5) or 31.202(5)).
In accordance with Federal regulations, Assurance No.6 in the Standard Assurances, COPS Assurance No. 8.B, or
certain Federal grant program requirements, your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting
requirements:
If your organization has received an award for $500,000 or more and has 50 or more employees (counting both
full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare an EEOP and submit it to
OCR for review within 60 days from the date ofthis letter. For assistance in developing an EEOP, please
consult OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. You may also request technical assistance from
an EEOPspecialist at OCR by dialing (202) 616-3208.
If your organization received an award between $25,000 and $500,000 and has 50 or more employees, your
organization still has to prepare an EEOP, but it does not have to submit the EEOP to OCR for review. Instead,
your organization has to maintain the EEOP on file and make it available for review on request. In addition, your
organization has to complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to OCR. The Certification Form can
be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm.
If your organization received an award for less than $25,000; or if your organization has less than 50 employees,
regardless of the amount of the award; or if your organization is a medical institution, educational institution,
nonprofit organization or Indian tribe, then your organization is exempt from the EEOP requirement. However,
your organization must complete Section A of the Certification Form and return it to OCR. The Certification Form
can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm.
2) Submitting Findings of Discrimination
In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of
discrimination against your organization after a due process hearing, on the ground of race, color, religion,
national origin, or sex, your organization must submit a copy of the finding to OCR for review.
~).~
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
If your organization makes subawards to other agencies, you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also
comply with all of the applicable Federal civil rights laws, including the requirements pertaining to developing
and submitting an EEOP, reporting Findings of Discrimination, and providing language services to LEP persons.
State agencies that make subawards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to
demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.
Ifwe can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding,
please call OCR at (202) 307-0690 or visit our website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/.

6. This special condition facilitates compliance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
relating to clandestine methamphetamine laboratory operations, including the identification, seizure, or closure of

under their methamphetamine laboratory operations. Consistent with the Assessment, the following terms and
conditions shall apply to the grantee for any OJP funded methlab operations:
A. The grantee shall ensure compliance by OJP funded sub-grantees with federal, state, and local environmental,
health, and safety laws and regulations applicable to meth lab operations, to include the disposal of the chemicals,
equipment, and wastes resulting from those operations.
B. The grantee shall have a Mitigation Plan in place that identifies and documents the processes and points of
accountability within its state. This plan will be used to ensure that the adverse environmental, health, and safety
impacts delineated in the Assessment are mitigated in a manner consistent with the requirements of this condition.
C. The grantee shall monitor OJP funded meth lab operations to ensure that they comply with the following nine
mitigation measures identified in the Assessment and whose implementation is addressed in the grantee's Mitigation
Plan. These mitigation measures must be included as special conditions in all subgrants: (See Part 11 of this special

7. 1. Provide medical screening of personnel assigned or to be assigned by the grantee to the seizure or closure of
clandestine methamphetamine laboratories;
2. Provide Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) required initial and refresher training for law
enforcement officials and all other personnel assigned to either the seizure or closure of clandestine methamphetamine
laboratories;
3. As determined by their specified duties, equip the personnel with OSHA required protective wear and other required

4. Assign properly trained personnel to prepare a comprehensive contamination report on each seized/closed
laboratory;
5. Utilize qualified disposal personnel to remove all chemicals and associated glassware, equipment, and contaminated
materials and wastes from the site(s) of each seized laboratory;
6. Dispose of the chemicals, equipment, and contaminated materials and wastes at properly licensed disposal facilities
or, when allowable, at properly licensed recycling facilities;
