Omaha District Final Cultural Resource Site Monitoring Plan
Abstract
The primary purpose and legal authority for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, Cultural Resource Program is found in the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f et seq) (NHPA), particularly section 106 (16 U.S.C. 470f), section 110 (16 U.S.C. 470h-2), and section 101 (16 U.S.C. 470a) of that Act. Other important cultural resource laws are the following: Public Law 74- 292, Historic Sites Act of 1935, as amended; Public Law 91-190, National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 as amended; Public Law 95-341, American Indian Religious Freedom Act; implementing regulations 36 CFR Parts 60 and 61 Appendix A; and 36 CFR Part 800. Appendix A is a detailed list of Cultural Resource Laws. The cultural resources policy of the Omaha District is to preserve and protect significant cultural resources in a spirit of stewardship for the nation. It is the responsibility of the Omaha District to locate, identify, and evaluate cultural resources for their eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places. Once a cultural resource has been determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, it is our responsibility to preserve them in perpetuity or to mitigate them if they cannot be preserved. It is our goal to properly care for significant sites, stabilizing those sites threatened by erosion, mitigating those sites where stabilization is not an option, encouraging and enabling adaptive reuse of historic structures, and preserving the historic and prehistoric sites on District lands, as appropriate. The Omaha District Cultural Resource Program has a responsibility to preserve cultural resources on Omaha District managed lands.
