Common use of EXEMPT FROM EVALUATION Clause in Contracts

EXEMPT FROM EVALUATION. Section 106 regulations require a "reasonable and good faith effort" to identify historic properties (36 CFR 800.4[b][1]). The procedures in this attachment concentrate Caltrans efforts on properties that have the potential to be historic properties. A property should be evaluated only if Caltrans PQS reasonably determine that the property has a demonstrable potential for historic significance. Evidence of such potential consists of associations with significant historic events or individuals (criteria A or B); engineering, artistic, design, or aesthetic values (Criterion C); information value (Criterion D); the presence of community concerns; or inclusion as a potential contributing element within a larger property requiring evaluation, such as a historic or cultural landscape, traditional cultural property, or historic district. This attachment defines categories of properties that do not warrant evaluation pursuant to Stipulation VIII.
