Section 106 Compliance Projects
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, requires federal agencies to minimize the impact of their undertakings on resources that are listed in the National Register or that are eligible for register listing. An undertaking can include direct funding as well as more indirect involvement, such as permitting or licensing. The scope of Section 106 projects varies widely, reflecting the unique circumstances of each undertaking. Rather than a specific set of actions, Section 106 is a process that requires building consensus among the participating agencies and consulting parties to achieve a satisfactory resolution while minimizing the effects of the project on historic resources. If adverse effects to historic resources cannot be avoided the involved parties must consult with the President’s Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and negotiate a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that describes the steps each participant has taken and will take in the future. MOAs commonly require that a qualified preservation consultant identify (survey) historic resources in the project area and evaluate their National Register eligibility. If adverse effects to historic resources cannot be avoided, documentation is a common mitigation strategy. Section 106 also requires the consideration of public input, usually through one or more hearings or meetings.
The role of Rosin Preservation staff in Section 106 projects has been as varied as the projects themselves. In addition to identifying, evaluating, and documenting impacted resources, we have negotiated MOAs and facilitated public meetings, enabling our clients to move their projects forward in a timely manner. Through continuing education we keep abreast of regulatory changes to Section 106.
