HAR §13-275-7. §13-275-7 Determining effects to significant historic properties

(a) The effects or impacts of a project on significant properties shall be determined by the agency. Effects include direct as well as indirect impacts. One of the following effect determinations must be established: (1) "No historic properties affected". The project will have no effect on significant historic properties; or (2) "Effect, with proposed mitigation commitments". The project will affect one or more significant historic properties, and the effects will be potentially harmful. However, the agency has proposed mitigation commitments involving one or more forms of mitigation to reasonably and acceptably mitigate the harmful effects. (b) Effects include, but are not limited to, partial or total destruction or alteration of the historic property, detrimental alteration of the properties' surrounding environment, detrimental visual, spatial, noise or atmospheric impingement, increasing access with the chances of resulting damage, and neglect resulting in deterioration or destruction. (c) Effect determinations shall be submitted to SHPD for review and approval. The determinations shall include a map showing the location of the project and a general discussion of the project's scope of work, so the nature of possible effects can be understood. (1) If the SHPD disagrees with the effect determinations, a letter that specifies the disagreements shall be sent within forty five days of SHPD receipt of the effect determinations. To proceed with the review process, the agency shall correct the problems, consulting with the SHPD as needed to resolve differences, and resubmit the effect determinations. (2) If the SHPD agrees with the effect determinations, the SHPD shall send a letter of agreement within forty five days of SHPD receipt of the effect determinations. (d) No historic properties affected determinations for architectural properties shall be expedited when the SHPD agrees with the agency that minor changes to a building or structure will not affect its significant character.
