Undertakings Eligible for Streamlined Review. 1. Preservation Maintenance and Repair of Historic Properties: The Streamlined Review Process is intended to be used for: • Mitigation of wear and deterioration of a historic property to protect its condition without altering its historic character; • Repairing when its condition warrants with the least degree of intervention including limited replacement in-kind; • Replacing an entire feature in-kind when the level of deterioration or damage of materials precludes repair; and • Stabilization to protect damaged materials or features from additional damage. Use of the Streamlined Review Process is limited to actions for retaining and preserving, protecting and maintaining, and repairing and replacing in-kind, as necessary, materials and features, consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (Standards) and the accompanying guidelines. Emergency stabilization, including limited replacement of irreparably damaged features or materials and temporary measures that prevent further loss of historic material or that correct unsafe conditions until permanent repairs can be accomplished, may use the Streamlined Review Process. For archeological sites and cultural landscapes, the Streamlined Review Process may also be used for work to moderate, prevent, or arrest erosion. If the project activities include ground disturbance, archeological monitoring may be appropriate throughout the ground disturbing activities, in accordance with any recommendation of the CRM Team. When monitoring is recommended, members of any appropriate Federally recognized Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations may be invited to participate in monitoring. The Streamlined Review Process may be used for routine repairs necessary to continue use of a historic property, but it is not intended to apply to situations where there is a change in use or where a series of individual projects cumulatively results in the complete rehabilitation or restoration of a historic property. If an approved treatment plan exists for a given historic property (such as a historic structure report, cultural landscape report, or preservation maintenance plan), the proposed undertaking needs to be in accordance with that plan. This streamlined activity includes the following undertakings, as well as others that are comparable in scope, scale, and impact:
