Environmental Assessments, including Section 106/Section 4(f) Compliance

A variety of government regulations address historic resources:

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to consider the effect of federally funded or licensed projects on properties and districts eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 mandates avoidance of significant historic sites unless there is no "feasible and prudent" alternative.

Environmental Impact Statements and Environmental Assessments must address a proposed project’s effect on historic resources.

Hess Roise understands how to navigate projects through the compliance process. We have negotiated memorandums of agreement and programmatic agreements that outline mitigatory procedures for projects that adversely affect historic resources.
