Review Activity

Case Studies

Project reviews involve identification and evaluation of historic properties, evaluation of effects, and planning for avoidance of adverse effects or mitigation. Several projects serve to illustrate the variety of agencies involved and reviews completed and the range of historic resource issues addressed in carrying out Section 106 responsibilities.

Summary

Last year the SHPO worked with 29 federal agencies and completed reviews for 2,559 federal undertakings under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. In addition, SHPO worked with 17 state agencies and completed 1249 reviews under the requirements of the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act and/or the Minnesota Historic Sites Act. As an integral part of the process, the SHPO reviewed and evaluated 36 historic properties to be eligible for listing on the National Register.
