# §51.202. Approval of HUD-assisted projects.

- (a) The Department will not approve an application for assistance for a proposed project located at less than the acceptable separation distance from a hazard, as defined in [§ 51.201](/cfr/24/51.201.md), unless appropriate mitigating measures, as defined in [§ 51.205](/cfr/24/51.205.md), are implemented, or unless mitigating measures are already in place.
- (b) In the case of all applications for proposed HUD-assisted projects, the Department shall evaluate projected development plans in the vicinity of these projects to determine whether there are plans to install a hazardous operation in close proximity to the proposed project. If the evaluation shows that such a plan exists, the Department shall not approve assistance for the project unless the Department obtains satisfactory assurances that adequate mitigating measures will be taken when the hazardous operation is installed.
