Review process normally occurs after permit application is submitted to review agency. • DHR (SHPO) generally takes 30 days to review application and make a determination as to whether or not to recommend some level of cultural resource investigation. • DHR generally takes 30 days to review reports. • DHR will make a determination prior to application submittal “in anticipation of compiling with state or federal permit action.” • Delays caused by the occurrence of cultural resources include: scheduling, re-planning for avoidance, and additional work. However, innovated approaches to cultural resource management and early archaeological/historical involvement could have cost and time savings.
