N.J. Admin. Code § 7:4-8.1
The following words and phrases, when used in this subchapter, shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. If there is a conflict with a definition at 7:4-1.3, the definition below will control:
"Impact" means the adverse effect upon any district, site, building, structure or object included in or eligible for inclusion in the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places resulting from the implementation of a project.
"Principal investigator" means the person in direct charge of the major archaeological survey tasks including background investigation; site predictive model development and development of a field strategy; field investigation and testing; data collection and analysis; reporting; and curation.
"Project" means any planned action, whether private or public, which has the potential to result in direct or indirect effects on any district, site, building, structure or object listed in or eligible for listing in the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. A planned action shall be considered to have an effect whenever any aspect of the action causes or may cause any change, beneficial or adverse, in the quality of the historical, architectural, archaeological, or cultural characteristics that qualified a historic property to meet the criteria of evaluation for inclusion in the New Jersey and National Register at 7:4-2.3. For the purpose of determining effect, alteration of features of the property's location, setting or use may be considered relevant depending on a property's significant characteristics. Direct effects are caused by the project and occur at the same place and time. Indirect effects include those caused by the project that are farther removed in distance or later in time, but are still reasonably foreseeable. Such indirect effects may include changes in the pattern of land use, population density or growth rate that may affect the quality of the historical, architectural, archaeological, or cultural characteristics that qualified a historic property to be listed or eligible for listing in the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places.
"Smithsonian (SITS) numbers" means the three-part, unique Smithsonian Institution Trinomial System (SITS) number assigned by the New JerseyState Museum to archaeological sites identified in New Jersey. A Smithsonian (SITS) number can be obtained for a site by providing the New JerseyState Museum with a completed archaeological site registration form, available from the New Jersey State Museum, 205 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08625 or from the Historic Preservation Office's website at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/hpo/1identify/survarkeo.htm.
