Identify Historic Properties a. For each undertaking the RE shall determine and document an Area of Potential Effects (hereafter, APE) consistent with 36 CFR § 800.16(d). APE means “the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of historic properties, if any such properties exist. The area of potential effects is influenced by the scale and nature of an undertaking and may be different for different kinds of effects caused by an undertaking”.
Identify Historic Properties a) The Foundation shall develop a list of all recorded historic properties, located within the APE effects including those individually listed in the NRHP, those contributing to the NHL, and those not yet evaluated. These will include architectural, landscape and archeological resources.
Identify Historic Properties. Since 1970, the DOT has successfully obtained its needed Historic Properties data from a growing network of qualified consultants. Under this process, the DOT assigns projects to contracted consulting firms and institutions as projects enter the planning stage of development. The consultant performs the necessary surveys- both prehistoric and historic - and prepares a report. Reports are forwarded to the DOT’s OLE where they are checked for format and content. DOT then submits the reports to the consulting parties for review and comment. If significant Historic Properties have been identified by the consultant, and the SHPO concurs in the findings, additional consultation among the parties, and any affected tribes, will be performed as described later in these procedures. The DOT includes provisions in its contracts for historical resources consultant services that require the consultant to gather the preliminary background information as described in 800.4(a) above as a preface to its field work in a project area. In accordance with the aims of the Can Do process, the DOT’s OLE assigns projects to its historical resources consultants at the appropriate time in a project’s development time line such that the data required will be available to planning and design staff for consideration early in their work efforts. The consultant gathers the preliminary data, performs the surveys, writes the report, and submits it to the OLE, who reviews it for completeness and, if acceptable, forwards the report to the SHPO and other consulting parties for review and comment. Within the 30- day window allotted to them, the consulting parties review the report and respond to the DOT as appropriate, either concurring in the consultant’s conclusions with respect to the project’s expected effects upon historic resources, requesting additional surveys/information, or requesting consultation to resolve specific issues of conflict between the project and significant sites or properties.
