Site 4 is located immediately adjacent the NRHP listed St. Clair and Produce
Historic Districts.
IF there is federal agency involvement triggering Section 106, there will likely
be a requirement for coordination with the Ohio Historic Preservation Office
(OHPO) because of ground disturbing activities. A Phase I cultural resource
survey would likely be required to identify properties within and adjacent the
Site boundaries for a determination of NRHP eligibility and to locate any
significant archaeological sites within the Site boundaries. There would be a
requirement for consultation with OHPO on any adverse effects on NRHP listed or
eligible properties such as consideration of alternative sites and measures to be
taken to mitigate any adverse effects on the historic resources. Alteration of the
setting of the St. Clair and Produce Historic Districts would likely be considered
an adverse effect and Section 106 consultation would include consideration of
alternative sites and project design restrictions. Buildings within the Site boundaries
exhibit signs of substantial alteration and do not appear to warrant consideration
as an eligible historic district. The question of whether or not Section 106 would
result in project delay to mitigate an archaeological site in Parcel G cannot be
answered without further investigation.
Conclusions
IF Section 106 is triggered, it may cause significant
delays to the project schedule if a significant archaeological site is
identified. Section 106 would likely involve project design restrictions because
of proximity to historic districts. If there is federal involvement which may
trigger Section 106 review of the project we recommend a Phase I archaeological
survey .
1 NRHP - National Register of Historic Places
2 Section 106 (36 CFR Part 800) requires
identification of properties listed or eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places which may be located within the area of potential
effect of a federally undertaking and provides for consultation and
consideration of effects on historic properties. Section 106 may be triggered by
direct federal involvement, or involvement through a state or local agency by
financial assistance (e.g. CDBG), or requirement for a federal license or permit
( e.g. Corps of Engineers). (4f review, similar to Sec. 106, may be triggered by
Federal Highway Administration involvement, but is typically is less negotiable
than Sec.106.) When removal of historic buildings is unavoidable, the 106
process typically includes a Memorandum of Agreement stipulating: (1) marketing
of the property for a period of 6 to 12 months to find someone to purchase and
move the building or salvage significant architectural elements (sale subject to
covenant for OHPO coordination on subsequent location and rehabilitation); and
(2) recording the building with a history and archivally stable large format
photographs of the building and architectural drawings according to the
standards of the Historic American Building Survey (HABS). Section 106 is a
public process and interested parties are invited to participate.
