Area of Potential Effects a. For standing structures not adjacent to or located within the boundaries of a National Register listed or eligible district, Qualified staff may define the APE as the individual structure when the proposed Undertaking is limited to its repair or rehabilitation (as defined in 36 CFR § 68.3(b)).
Area of Potential Effects. 1. The term ‘‘Area of Potential Effects’’ is defined in Section II.A.3 of this Nationwide Agreement. For purposes of this Nationwide Agreement, the APE for direct effects and the APE for visual effects are further defined and are to be established as described below.
Area of Potential Effects. A. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for undertakings covered by this Agreement shall be limited to the legal lot lines of a property when the Program activity consists exclusively of rehabilitating a property’s interior or exterior features except when the project is located in a National Register-listed or eligible historic district.
Area of Potential Effects i. The term “
Area of Potential Effects. It is agreed for the purposes of this AgreementPA, with the exception of Stipulation VII.B., that the Area of Potential Effects (“APE”) will be limited to the individual building when a proposed project is limited to the rehabilitation of its existing interior or exterior features.
Area of Potential Effects. A. The BLM in consultation with SHPO and the Consulting Parties has determined and documented the area of potential effects (APE) for the Undertaking, in accordance with 36 CFR 800.16 (d). The APE for the Undertaking is shown on Attachments 1 and 2 to this Agreement. The APE is influenced by the scale and nature of the Undertaking and is based on potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects associated with route designation under 43 CFR 8342, routine maintenance, restoration and rehabilitation activities and classification of “C” Routes. The APE, as currently defined, encompasses an area sufficient to accommodate all of the proposed alternatives of the WMRNP and account for the direct and indirect effects of the 2006 WEMO Plan. The BLM utilized current cultural resource information in the development of the proposed alternatives for the WMRNP, based on the results of a review and update to the BLM cultural resource GIS records. The APE is determined as follows:
Area of Potential Effects. After reviewing the project information provided by the Environmental Planner, the HPT Staff (in discussion with the project team, as needed) defines the Area of Potential Effects (APE). Attachment 4 of the PA addresses the process for defining an APE, see Appendix A2. The APE definition is documented in the PA memo or consultation letter. An APE delineates the boundaries within which it can be reasonably expected that a proposed undertaking has the potential to affect historic properties, should any be present. It may be the ROW itself, or an area either larger or smaller than the ROW, depending on the scope and design of the undertaking. In addition to the project footprint, new ROW, permanent drainage easements, temporary construction easements (TCEs), and staging/stockpiling areas, if included in the project design, should all be considered as part of the APE. Potential effects to be considered in defining an APE may include, but are not limited to, physical damage or destruction of all or part of a property; physical alterations; moving or realigning a historic property; isolating a property from its setting; visual, audible, or atmospheric intrusions; shadow effects; vibrations, and change in access or use. For archaeological properties, an APE is typically established based on an undertaking’s potential for direct effects from ground-disturbing activities. Some types of archaeological sites may also have qualities, such as aspects of setting that contribute to a property’s eligibility, that could be subject to indirect effects (e.g., rock art, standing prehistoric architecture, etc.). Buildings, structures, objects, districts, and some sites, including traditional cultural properties (TCPs), are more likely to be subject to indirect, as well as direct effects. It is important in defining the APE to consider the undertaking’s potential effects on a historic property as a whole, taking into account the reasonably anticipated or known boundaries of archaeological sites. If there are cultural resources within the ADOT ROW, the original site card, report, google earth, or other documents are reviewed to determine the site boundary. In some cases, the boundary of the site may be within the ADOT ROW, but will not be affected by the project activities because the site may be either above or below the roadway. HPT Staff have two primary electronic databases (AZSITE Database and ADOT Portal) as well as multiple other resources at their disposal to aid in loca...
Area of Potential Effects. The Undertaking’s area of potential effects (APE) is depicted in Attachment A of this PA. The APE set forth hereunder may be amended through consultation among the PA parties without amending the PA proper.
Area of Potential Effects. For standing structures not adjacent to or located within the boundaries of a National Register or eligible district, Qualified staff shall define the APE as the individual structure when the proposed Undertaking is limited to its repair or rehabilitation (as defined in 36 CFR § 68.3(b)). For all other Undertakings, Qualified staff shall determine the APE in consultation with the SHPO and participating Tribe(s). FEMA may consider information provided by other parties, such as local governments and the public, when establishing the APE.
