(a) A list of identified historic properties, either in descriptive or tabular form, that
includes data pertinent to the purposes of the HPMP. Detailed supporting documentation need
not be included in the HPMP, but may be appended as necessary. Exact details are at the district's
discretion.
(b) Maps showing site locations, as well as surveyed and unsurveyed portions of project
lands. (Maps may be kept separate, or prepared as an overlay to the project OMP compartment
maps. Site locations must generally not be released to the public).
(c) A description of field investigations conducted and methods used to identify and
evaluate cultural resources.
(d) A discussion of existing or potential impacts on identified historic properties and
unsurveyed portions of project land. This will include a description of past, present, and future
land use, recognizing resource management capabilities and limitations.
(e) The National Register status of all identified historic properties.
(f) Identification of site ownership (fee or easement property) and site management
(Corps managed, leased, or outgrant property).
(g) A ranking and scheduling of historic preservation priorities and activities for identified
resources. Management decisions may require absolute exclusion of any activity on the site
and/or specialized types of preservation techniques to prevent, reduce, or mitigate impacts due to
natural or project related impacts. In circumstances where investigations result in data which may
be of particular interest to the public, historic preservation activities should include the
preparation, by staff and/or contract, of brief but informative brochures, slide shows, or other
media documentation for public presentation.
(h) A preliminary cost estimate necessary to accomplish remaining activities.
(i) The views of the SHPO.
(j) Relationship between HPMP and the SHPOs Statewide Comprehensive Historic
Preservation Plan, if available.
(k) Relationship to the Master Plan and OMP for the project.
(l) Discussion and prioritization of investigations yet to be completed.
(m) Evidence of consultation with affected Indian tribes.
(3) Implementation.
(a) As with other resources on Corps managed lands, the management, preservation, and
protection of historic properties rests with the Operations element acting on behalf of the District
Commander. The operations element is thus responsible for the budgeting of funds, preparation
and coordination of all necessary reports and documentation, and all other required activities.
However, it is expected that much or most technical guidance and support will be provided by
planning element archaeologists or historic property specialists, Intergovernmental Personnel Act
