might be historic.

3) The state historic preservation officer shall include the performance of state agencies in initiating and satisfying the programmatic management of historic properties in its annual report to the legislature and the governor as provided in § 41-1352.
I shouldn’t let something bad
happen to a historic building.

ask me what I did.

CLASS I SURVEY Literature Review / Archival Research AZSITE, NRHP Database, GLO maps SHPO Records and Consultation Letters Tribal / Land Managing Agency Records Historical Archaeology Research Guide Was the property previously surveyed for cultural resources? Are there known historic properties in the project area? If previously surveyed, is new survey necessary? What are your expectations if new survey is necessary?

Survey Report Summary Form
• Streamlines report writing AND agency review for surveys resulting in negative findings. The survey must be less than 640 acres or less than 10 linear miles and for which a finding of “No Historic Properties Affected” is appropriate
• “Negative findings” means no sites,
structures, buildings, objects or districts are present in the project area/area of potential effects
• Isolated artifacts or features may be
present provided that they are not significant and have been adequately documented

SHPO Annual Report to Legislature
After the end of the state fiscal year, the SHPO will send a questionnaire to the agency requesting information about the agency’s historic preservation program and activities. Responses and non-responses will be reported to the Legislature and Governor.
RECORDS and DOCUMENTATION STANDARDS A.R.S. § 41-863
Each state agency shall initiate measures, in consultation with the state historic preservation officer, to assure that if, as a result of state action or assistance given by the agency, historic property is to be substantially altered or demolished, timely steps are taken to make appropriate documentary recordation in accordance with standards which the state historic preservation officer established.
The agency shall deposit the records with the department of library, archives and public records and with the state historic preservation officer for future use and reference.
I have to record it before I demolish
it.
I have to make two
copies.
