  1. Conducting Section 106 Reviews under BRAC Charlene Vaughn Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

  2. ACHP History with the BRAC Program • MOAs and PAs for closed facilities • Focused on buildings • Little attention to archeology • Stakeholder participation limited to local communities (LRAs) • Mitigation plans resulted in retention and reuse

  3. Major Lessons Learned from Previous BRAC Rounds • Consult early in the process • Improve NEPA coordination • Broaden stakeholder participation • Recognize complexities of covenants • Consider future remediation • Clarify roles and responsibilities for post-agreement reviews

  4. New Approaches to 106 Reviewfor BRAC 2005 • Streamline reviews through program alternatives [36 CFR § 800.14(a) – (e)] • Prepare baseline information early • Identify standard mitigation measures for various types of conveyances • Develop ACHP policy regarding remediation impacts on redevelopment options • Develop tribal consultation protocols

  5. Impact to Historic Properties:Closure vs. Realignment • Closure requires consideration of discrete, more immediate preservation issues • Realignment should focus on • Section 106 and Section 110 of NHPA • Long-term management • Indirect effects on historic properties

  6. Role of Consulting Parties • Involvement of State and local preservationists is important • Role of developers should be addressed • Consider other parties, besides SHPOs to become covenant holders • Tribal consultation must be on a government-to government basis

  7. DoD & ACHP Collaboration:Improvements to Section 106 Reviews • ACHP staff participates in DoD BRAC work groups • ACHP membership involved in program alternatives • ACHP established DoD BRAC task force to assist DoD • ACHP and DoD must consider new strategies for streamlining BRAC review process
