DESTRUCTION of HISTORIC PLACES

DESTRUCTION of HISTORIC 
PROPERTIES
m

INCLUDES:

Visual  - Atmospheric -  Audible DAMAGE

"Dominion has prepared a plan in the event unanticipated historic properties 
or human remains are encountered during construction. 

The plan includes requirements for notifying interested parties, including Indian Tribes, in the event of a discovery.

Construction and operation of the proposed Project could affect historic properties.

Direct effects could include:
                          destruction 
                          damage to all, or 
                          a portion of an archaeological site. 

Indirect effects could include the introduction of:
                 visual, 
                 atmospheric, 
                 audible elements 
that affect the setting or character of a historic property.

 To ensure that required cultural resource studies and consultation are completed
for all proposed Project components and the FERC’s responsibilities under section 106 of
the NHPA are met, we recommend that:

 Dominion should not begin implementation of any treatment
plans/measures (including archaeological data recovery); construction of
facilities; and use of any staging, storage, or temporary work areas and
new or to-be-improved access roads); until:

a. Dominion files with the Secretary cultural resource survey reports, any
necessary treatment plans, and SHPOs comments on the reports and
plans;

b. the ACHP is afforded an opportunity

b. the ACHP is afforded an opportunity to comment on the project; and

c. the FERC staff reviews and the Director of OEP approves the cultural
resource reports and plans, and notifies Dominion in writing that
treatment plans/mitigation measures (including archaeological data
recovery) may be implemented and/or construction may proceed.

All material filed with the Commission containing location, character, and
ownership information about cultural resources must have the cover and
any relevant pages therein clearly labeled in bold lettering: “CONTAINS
PRIVILEGED INFORMATION – DO NOT RELEASE.”
