Cultural Resources Agency Consultation

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act

 

Information

No activity may be permitted under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 until we ensure compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). For projects that may result in impacts to cultural resources listed on, or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), we must consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), as appropriate. As a part of the cultural resources investigation, we may also need to consult with Federally recognized Indian Tribes, in accordance with Executive Order 13175
