Area of Potential Effects (APE). 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 the 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. FEMA may consider information provided by other parties, such as local governments and the public, when establishing the APE.
Area of Potential Effects (APE). For all projects undergoing streamlined project review, Qualified Staff shall determine the APE in consultation with the SHPO of jurisdiction and appropriate Federally-Recognized Tribe(s). The APE will be defined as all areas to be affected by construction activities and areas of associated ground disturbance including but not limited to haul roads, borrow areas, staging and stockpiling areas. The APE would generally include all areas for which a Right-of-Entry is sought by USACE or the NFS. Additional effects that will be considered shall include visual, auditory, and off-site anticipated erosion resulting from the constructed feature. USACE may consider information provided by other parties, such as local governments and the public, when establishing the APE. APE Definition Factors:
Area of Potential Effects (APE). The APE for the Project will include the entire lease area and a buffer extending one-mile from the external boundaries of the lease area; the proposed haul route along US Highway 89, Utah Highway 20, Interstate Highway 15, and Utah Highway 56 and a buffer extending 500 feet on each side of the haul route highway centerlines; the Panguitch Historic District; the town of Xxxxx, Utah; and the town of Hatch, Utah. The APE is depicted in Attachment D.
Area of Potential Effects (APE) includes dimensions of the APE (horizontal and vertical), a description of the boundary and physical characteristics of the APE, and a discussion of the types of effects anticipated. An APE map must be included, either in the body of the report or in the maps appendix. The APE map may be multiple sheets if necessary to depict the APE at a readable scale. Photographs of the APE will be included in this section to illustrate the nature of the APE.
Area of Potential Effects (APE). A. Defining the APE The BLM, in consultation with the parties to this agreement, has defined and documented the APE based on potential direct, indirect and cumulative effects. The APE will apply to all lands regardless of management status that may be affected by the transmission line corridor, staging areas, access roads, borrow areas, transmission substations, or other related transmission infrastructures for this Undertaking. The APE, as defined and documented, is a baseline for survey and inventory.
Area of Potential Effects (APE). As defined in 36 CFR §800.16(d), the APE is the “geographic 11 area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the 12 character or use of historic properties, if any such properties exist. The area of potential effects is 13 influenced by the scale and nature of an undertaking and may be different for different kinds of 14 effects caused by the undertaking.”
Area of Potential Effects (APE). A. Defining the APE The Arizona BLM, in consultation with the SHPOs and other Consulting Parties, will define and document the APE based on the potential of the Undertaking(s) to alter directly or indirectly, any of the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the property’s location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling or association. The APE is 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. It may be influenced by the scale and nature of an Undertaking and may be different for different kinds of effects caused by the undertaking [36 CFR 800.16(d)]. Potential adverse effects may include reasonably foreseeable effects caused by the Undertaking(s) that may occur later in time, be farther removed in distance or be cumulative. The following will be used as guidance for determining the APE:
Area of Potential Effects (APE). For all project review of standing structures the APE will be the individual facility (as defined in 44 CFR 206.201(c)) when an Undertaking is limited to the in-kind repair or rehabilitation of the facility’s interior or exterior. FEMA will establish the APE in consultation with the SHPO for all other Undertakings including those that may affect archaeological properties. FEMA will also identify and invite other appropriate parties (such as local governments and the public) to provide information related to the APE. B. In accordance with 36 CFR 800.4(b,c), FEMA will determine, in consultation with the SHPO, if the APE contains properties (including archaeological properties) that are listed in or eligible for the National Register. C. If no historic properties are present within the APE, or if an Undertaking is designed to avoid affecting the character defining features of such historic property or properties, FEMA will make a determination of “no historic properties affected” in accordance with 36 CFR 800.4(d)(1). FEMA will notify the SHPO and all consulting parties of this determination and provide supporting documentation. Unless the SHPO or any consulting party objects to this determination within 14 days after receipt, FEMA will complete the Section 106 review and may approve funding. D. If an Undertaking may affect identified historic properties, or if the SHPO objects to the determination of “no historic properties affected” within 14 days after receipt, FEMA will consult with the SHPO to apply the criteria of adverse effect, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.5(a)(1), or determine if the Undertaking meets the SOI Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (Standards), or any other applicable SOI Standards. FEMA will also consider any views provided by consulting parties and the public related to such effects. 1. For standing structures only: a. If FEMA and the SHPO agree that an Undertaking does not meet the adverse effect criteria or that it meets the Standards, FEMA will make a determination of “no adverse effect” pursuant to 36 CFR 800.5(b). FEMA will notify the SHPO and all consulting parties of this determination and provide supporting documentation pursuant to 36 CFR 800.5(c). Unless the SHPO or any consulting party objects within 14 days after receipt of the notification, FEMA will complete the Section 106 review and may approve funding. b. If the SHPO objects to the “no adverse effect” determination, FEMA will attempt to resolve the objection t...
Area of Potential Effects (APE) includes dimensions of the APE (horizontal and vertical), a description of the boundary and physical characteristics of the APE, and a discussion of the types of effects (e.g., physical, visual, atmospheric, audible). An APE map must be included, either in the body of the report or in the maps appendix. The APE map may be multiple sheets if necessary to depict the APE at a readable scale. A photograph(s) of the APE may be included in this section if it is useful in illustrating the nature of the APE. HISTORIC PROPERTIES IN THE APE Summary of Historic Properties begins with a brief statement of the number and types of historic properties in the APE and a table that lists them. The table must include the SHPO number, resource name and/or NNSS number as applicable, resource type, and NRHP eligibility with date of SHPO concurrence if available. The table is followed by narrative descriptions of the historic properties as outlined below. Historic Property(ies) consists of narrative summaries of all known historic properties in the APE. Summaries of each historic property will include the following information: Description: A brief description of the historic property, including its date(s) of construction, historic use(s), physical characteristics, and number of contributing Accessory Resources (ARs).
