National Historic Preservation Act. The Act will assist the Department (if necessary) in assuring compliance with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. § 470), Ex. Order 11593 (identification and protection of historic properties), the Archeological and Historical Preservation Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. § 469 a-1 et seq.), and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. § 4321).
National Historic Preservation Act. Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) shall be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the Participants or WAFWA, as appropriate, and will be completed prior to implementation of Conservation Measures with the potential to affect historic properties. A Participant’s action that may require NHPA compliance is the burying of new distribution lines within 1.25 miles of leks that have been active within the previous 5 years. Compliance will be required for a) ground disturbance in areas that have not been previously disturbed, such as in native grassland and shrubland, or b) where a new disturbance would exceed the level of a previous disturbance (i.e., a trench for burying distribution line in a cultivated field, would still need NHPA compliance since the trench would likely exceed the depth of disturbance previously caused by the crop cultivation). For actions that would be implemented by WAFWA, NHPA compliance shall be addressed on a case-by-case basis but may be required for the conservation practices that result in ground disturbances. Some conservation practices that could be of concern for historic properties include brush management that involves removal of the roots (i.e., grubbing of mesquite), and the removal of existing structures, such as tank batteries, pump jacks, turbines, etc. Existing buildings or structures that are older than 50 years potentially may be historic properties, the removal of which may require NHPA compliance. Planted grass management is not considered to be a concern since it will occur in previously tilled acreage. The process for NHPA compliance includes a step-wise approach of identifying and evaluating potential impacts to historic properties resulting from the implementation of Conservation Measures. The Participant or WAFWA, as applicable, shall start this process as early as feasible in the planning process so that options for siting to avoid or minimize impacts to cultural resources are not precluded. To comply with the NHPA prior to taking action that may affect historic property, the Participant or WAFWA, as applicable, must adhere to the following process:
A) During early planning, the Participant or WAFWA will determine if the planned Conservation Measures has the potential to affect to historic properties. Generally, implementing Conservation Measures in previously disturbed areas does not have the potential to affect historic properties. If the planned Conservation Measure does...
National Historic Preservation Act. Subcontractor must comply with the requirement of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106) by cooperating with VEIC in obtaining a written concurrence of no objection from the State Historic Preservation Officer of the District prior to conducting any work on a property that is listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
National Historic Preservation Act. The Participant must comply with the National Historic Preservation Act as described in Section XXVIII of the CCAA.
National Historic Preservation Act. 1. In 1966, Congress instituted a policy to preserve the Nation's cultural and historic heritage by enacting the NHPA. The NHPA implementing regulations most pertinent to actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants or oil spills are those of: 1) the ACHP, an independent Federal agency that administers Section 106 of the NHPA through procedures specified in 36 CFR Part 800, "Protection of Historic Properties," and 2) the Department of the Interior (DOI) regulations at 36 CFR Part 60, National Register of Historic Places.
2. Section 106 of the NHPA provides that Federal agencies are to take into account the effects of "Federal or federally assisted undertakings" on historic properties that are listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. It further affords the ACHP an opportunity to comment on the undertaking.(1)
National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106 Undertakings
National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106, National Historic Preservation Act, 1966, requires Federal Agencies to consider the effects of their actions on historic properties. (See Figure 7). Section 106 applies to all properties already listed in the National Register, to properties formally determined eligible for listing, and to properties not formally determined eligible but meeting specified eligibility criteria. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has defined the term undertaking to include Federal actions that can result in changes in the character or use of historic properties, if such properties are located in the area to be affected by an action (National Historic Preservation Act, 1966 Section 800.2 (0)). The term undertaking includes a broad range of Federal activities including construction, rehabilitation and repair, demolition, licenses, permits, loans, loan guarantees, grants, Federal property transfers, and many other types of Federal involvement. Whenever one of these activities affects a historic property, the project is subject to Section 106 review. The responsible Federal Agency must also determine the “area of potential effects”, which is defined in council regulations as “the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may cause changes in the character or use of historic properties, if any such properties exist.” The area of potential effects need not be a contiguous area, it can include multiple alternative project sites, or multiple areas in which possible changes are anticipated. Buildings 107, 109, 476, 503, 525, 526, 529, 543, 554, 556, 596, and 944 were surveyed as part of the Inventory and Evaluation of Cold War Era Historical Resources, (SAIC July 1998) and all buildings were found to be cold war era structures of a type found at any Naval installation regardless of mission. These buildings were found not to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, (Criterion G). Appendix J contains the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 forms. Buildings 104, 108, and 113 were examined and evaluated in conjunction with the preparation of the Historic Resources Protection Plan (PAI/ Issi, November 2000). These buildings are located outside the Shenandoah Historic District, and have been determined to be unremarkable and not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Appendix J contains the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 form for Building 113. DPR 523 forms were not completed for 108 (swimming pool) o...
National Historic Preservation Act. (NHPA) – The project affects undisturbed ground, and has the potential for presence of archaeological resources. Verification of compliance at closeout. The Recipient shall monitor ground-disturbing activities during construction, and if any potential archeological resources are discovered, shall immediately cease construction in that area and notify the Division and FEMA. If human remains or intact archaeological deposits are uncovered, work in the vicinity of the discovery shall stop immediately and all reasonable measures to avoid or minimize harm to the finds shall be taken. The Recipient shall ensure that archaeological discoveries are secured in place, that access to the sensitive area is restricted, and that all reasonable measures are taken to avoid further disturbance of the discoveries. The Recipient’s contractor shall provide immediate notice of such discoveries to the Recipient. The Recipient shall notify the Florida Division of Historic Resources, the Division’s State Environmental Liaison Officer and FEMA within 24 hours of the discovery. Work in the vicinity of the discovery may not resume until FEMA and the Division has completed consultation with SHPO, Tribes, and other consulting parties as necessary. In the event that unmarked human remains are encountered during permitted activities, all work shall stop immediately and the proper authorities notified in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 872.05.
National Historic Preservation Act. The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) prohibits Federal actions that would affect a property that either is listed on, or is eligible for listing, on the National Historic Register. EPA therefore cannot issue permits to treatment works treating domestic sewage (including publicly owned treatment works (POTWs)) affecting historic properties unless measures will be taken such as under a written agreement between the applicant and the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) outlining all measures to be undertaken by the applicant to mitigate or prevent adverse effects to the historic property. Therefore, under today’s permit land applying, surface disposing, or disposing of sewage sludge in a municipal solid waste landfill may be covered only if the action will not affect a historic property that is listed or is eligible to be listed in the National Historic Register, or the operator has obtained and is in compliance with a written agreement signed by the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) that outlines measures to be taken to mitigate or prevent adverse effects to the historic site. Prior to the publication of the public notice of this draft permit in the Federal Register , the Arkansas State Historic Preservation Program determined it had no objections to the general permit based on the NHPA. No comments were submitted.
