Section 106 Clearance Application

Missouri Local Programs

How to Complete the Application for Section 106 Clearance

Why we Need to Review Cultural Resources?

In its preface to the

National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Congress

declared that the preservation of historic properties "is in

the public interest so that its vital legacy of cultural,

educational, aesthetic, inspirational, economic, and

energy benefits will be maintained and enriched for

future generations of Americans."MO Dept. of Natural Resources – SHPO Office Home Page: http://www.dnr.mo.gov/shpo/

What are Cultural Resources?

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966

requires potential impacts to significant cultural resources

from any federally funded or permitted project to be

considered. The five categories of cultural resources are

listed below.

Archaeological Sites Buildings Structures (e.g., bridges)

Objects Districts

Step Two– Project Location Information

Enter basic project location information: 1) County where project is located, 2) Street address of the project, and 3) City where project is located.

Cass County

Main Street/State Highway Y Cleveland

Enter legal location description of the project. The legal description information can be obtained from the quadrangle that covers the project area: 1) Quadrangle Name, 2) Map Year, 3) Township, Range & Section. (See next slide for direction on how to determine legal description)

West Line Quadrangle

1981 45 33 32

Step Two – Finding Quadrangle Information

Legal description information can be found on US Geological Survey quadrangle maps. If you are unsure about the quadrangle name for your project area:

a. Access the USGS Map Locator and Downloader at the following address : http://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/b2c/start/(xcm=r3standardpitrex_prd)/.do

b. On the left side of the page, choose Map Locator and Downloader. (Circled in red.)

1) In the Search Box, type in the City Name and State and click GO.

2) The site will redirect to a Google map that will show the quadrangle name for the area entered.

Step Two – Finding Quadrangle Information Cont.

For this example, we searched for Cleveland, MO. The program places a red marker representing the city on the map.

a. Zoom in on the red marker for your project area, as shown in the picture to the right.

b. To see the map products available for downloading, click on the marker. These maps are very large, so they take some time to download.

c. Paper maps can also be ordered from MDNR. These maps can be ordered online from MDNR at: Online order form for 7.5 min maps

Step Two – Project Description

In this section, applicants should describe the facility, such as beginning and ending point, side of the street, and width of the facility, etc. This information is shown in the example below.

This project will construct new sidewalks and rebuild the existing sidewalks on the north side and south side of Main Street/State Highway Y.

North Side – Trail Ridge Pass to 5th Street and 3rd Street to just short of the rail road right of way.South Side – West of 5th Street near a nursing home facility to just short of the railroad right of way.  North SideThe existing sidewalks between 3rd Street and RR right of way are 4-ft wide. The proposed sidewalks will be 5-ft wide in accordance with ADA. In the sections without existing sidewalks, the proposed sidewalks will be 5-ft wide in accordance with ADA. South SideThe existing sidewalks between 5th Street and 3rd Street are 4-ft wide. The proposed sidewalks will be 4 to 5-ft wide in accordance with ADA. The existing sidewalks between 3rd Street and RR right of way are approximately 7.5-ft wide. The proposed sidewalks will remain 7 to 8-ft wide. The improvements include replacing the existing ramp/stairs at city hall in accordance to with ADA standards. Regarding the sections without existing sidewalks, the proposed sidewalks will be 5ft wide.

Enter known information about the construction site. In the example above, the city is reconstructing an existing sidewalk and adding new sidewalk in other areas.

Indicate whether the site will require fill material.

Step Two – Archaeology

Yes- This ground has been previously disturbed by construction of and maintenance of Main Street / State Highway Y sidewalks, which are adjacent to the roadway and building constructed along the right-of-way.

√

Check boxes to indicate if the project is near an historic property, a national register district or a local historic district.

If the project is near a historic structure or district, enter the name of the structure or district in the appropriate box.

Photos should be taken of the project area & labeled. They should be clearly tied to one of the project maps.

The next slide has a link to the Missouri National Register to determine any historical structures or districts within the area.

Step Two – Structures in the Project Area

Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has research databases for historic properties, national register districts, local historic districts. The picture below shows the top of the list of historic places and districts in Jackson County, MO.

Missouri National Register listing: http://www.dnr.mo.gov/shpo/mnrlist.htm

Step Two – Structures in the Project Area

Step 3 - Additional Map Documentation

The last two sections on Page 2 of the 106 Application list attachments necessary to submit the document for review.

Electronic maps from a GIS system or copies of paper maps can be submitted. Examples of maps from the USGS and a GIS system are contained in the next slide.

Step 3 – Aerial Photo Map Example

Aerial photo submitted with the Cleveland Sidewalk 106 application. Red and blue lines show the project.

Step 3 – Project Location Map Example

An example of the 7.5 X 15 minute topographical map from a GIS system that was submitted with the Cleveland application.

Step 3 – Project Location Map Example

An example of the 7.5 X 15 minute topographical map downloaded from the USGS. The location of the project must be indicated on the map.

Step 3 - Borrow & Fill Material Map Example

Step 3 – Example Map of Historic Areas & Sites

This map shows an historic district & historic properties in downtown Independence, MO.

This data can be acquired from MDNR. The MDNR site is:

Step 3 – Example Documentation for New Projects

Additional documentation may be necessary for new projects, such as plan sheet showing the alignment of a new roadway or pedestrian/bicycle facility.

Step 4 – Take Photographs of Project Area

For the Cleveland project, a multipage .pdf document was created and submitted to the SHPO office.

Step 5 – Assemble and Submit Application

Once the application, photographs and maps are completed, the entire package should be submitted to the SHPO at the address below.

The End!
