Section II: Project WorkDescription andArea ofPotential Effects(APE)

a.This is a detailed description of thework that will be undertaken. Include any information about buildingremovals, rehabilitation, and landscape alteration such as sidewalk or treeremovals. TheSHPO is mandated to assess the effects that a project will haveon the historicresources if theyareeligible fortheNational Register of Historic Places.

b.Localized map highlightingthelocation oftheproject (i.e. a copyof a portion plat ora citystreet map). Maps must provide thepreciselocation ofthe project.

Please ensurethat street/road names areincluded and legible.

c.Draw/Outline/Highlight theAPE foryourproject.

d.Describethesteps taken to identifytheAPEand justifythe boundaries chosen. The APE is defined as thegeographic areaor areas within which an undertakingmay directly, or indirectly, cause changes in thecharacteror useof historicproperties.

In most instances, theAPE is notsimplythe project’s physical boundaries, or right- of-way. TheAPE is influenced bythe scaleand natureof an undertakingand may bedifferent fordifferentkinds of effects caused byan undertaking. In definingthe APE,you must considernot onlyphysical effects butalso visual, auditory,and atmospheric(i.e. land use, trafficpatterns, publicaccess) effects.

Section III:Ground-Disturbing Activity

a. Describethe proposeddimensions of grounddisturbingactivity. Plans and specifications canbeincluded as well. Example: 4 feet wide, 20feet long,2 feet deep. Pleaseincludeadescriptionof allassociatedactivities (laydown areas;borrow pits, access roads, etc.)

Section IV:IdentificationofHistoric Properties

a. Listand provide construction dates forallresources50years of ageorolderlocated in theAPE. If research has been doneand no approximate date is found, theterm “not found”is acceptable.

Identifythe district and describeitsgeneralcharacteristics andrangeofconstruction dates.

b. A historic propertyisdefined asanyprehistoricor historicdistrict, site, building, structure, orobject that is 50years of ageor olderand is listed in, or eligible for listingin, theNational Register ofHistoric Places.
