CFA-671: BOILER HOUSE HEATING PLANT CATEGORY 3 HISTORIC PROPERTY DEMOLITION MITIGATION
- Idaho National Lab. (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States). Cultural Resource Management Office (CRMO)
As a federal agency, the Department of Energy (DOE) has been directed by the U.S. Congress and the U.S. president to provide leadership in the preservation of prehistoric, historic, and other cultural resources on lands it administers and to manage these resources in a spirit of stewardship for future generations. The management of Idaho National Laboratory (INL) cultural resources is driven and guided by various federal laws, regulations, executive orders, DOE directives, supplementary State of Idaho statutes and legislation, and INL procedures. Several laws direct the inventory of cultural resources on federal land, guide the nomination of sites to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), establish mechanisms to protect cultural resources during land-use activities, and levy legal penalties as a consequence for unmitigated destruction of cultural resources. Preeminent among these are the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Archaeological Resource Protection Act of 1979 (ARPA), and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as amended, and their implementing regulations (INL Cultural Resource Managment Office, 2016, p. 1). When an effect on a historic architectural property will be adverse and avoidance or reuse is infeasible, mitigation to minimize the adverse effect will be necessary. Based on the relative importance of the affected property, as defined by the property category, mitigation includes varying types of documentation and potentially other activities based on its relative significance (INL Cultural Resource Managment Office, 2016, p. 165). CFA-671 is identified as a Category 3 property; Category 3 properties include those properties that contribute to the historic landscape associated with Nuclear Reactor Testing (i.e. guardhouses, cafeterias, warehouses, powerhouses, and similar infrastructure), but which were not directly related to the key building or research process. As such, mitigation is documentation, which includes reconnaissance-level photographs and completion of an Idaho Historic Sites Inventory (IHSI) site from. This documentation will be preserved in the INL Cultural Resource Management Office (CRMO) (INL Cultural Resource Managment Office, 2016, p. 166).
