Section 13-284-3 - Conducting a historic preservation review; generally(a) A historic preservation review may involve up to six procedural steps, in order to determine if significant historic properties are present and, if so, to develop and execute a detailed mitigation plan and thereby satisfactorily take into account the impact of the project on such historic properties. Any agency involved in this review shall consult with the SHPD and shall obtain the written comments of the SHPD at each step of the review. In cases where any interim protection plans are adequately in place and any data recovery fieldwork has been adequately completed, the project may commence from a historic preservation perspective.(b) The review steps, described in greater detail in the following sections, are as follows: (1) Identification and inventory, to determine if historic properties are present in the project's area and, if so, to identify and document (inventory) them;(2) Evaluation of significance;(3) Effect (impact) determination;(4) Mitigation commitments which commit to acceptable forms of mitigation in order to properly handle or minimize impacts to significant properties;(5) Detailed mitigation plan, scope of work to properly carry-out the general mitigation commitments; and(6) Verification of completion of detailed mitigation plan.(c) Documents for review steps one through four shall be submitted concurrently.(d) A receipt date shall be stamped on all review documents received by the SHPD.(e) The SHPD shall send its written comments on each step's submittal to the agency within the amount of time specified under each section of this rule, or by a mutually agreed upon date. If the SHPD fails to send written comments within the set time, or by a mutually agreed upon date, then the SHPD is presumed to concur with the agency's submittal.[Eff DEC 11 2003] (Auth: HRS § 6E-3) (Imp: HRS §§ 6E-1, 6E-3, 6E-42)
