“since the Philadelphia District does not currently have a professional archaeologist on its staff, and the controversial preservation issues in this case are archaeological in nature, your office should request the assistance of one of the Corps’ archaeologists in another District office…” — Charlene Dwin-Vaughn, ACHP (2008/06/25)

“… This qualified professional could assist you in reviewing and making some of the findings and determinations that are the responsibility of the Federal agency with jurisdiction over the undertaking. Findings and determinations the Federal agency will need to make include, for example:

• at what point has the applicant made a ‘reasonable and good faith effort’ to identify historic properties as the ACHP’s regulations require:
• decisions regarding National Register eligibility:
• assessments of effects and adverse effects to historic properties
• development of reasonable and appropriate mitigation measures to resolve adverse effects.”
