  • 617.20 Oio-^-N^ Appendix a State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
    617.20 oio-^-n^ Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important.

  • Wheels of Preservation: Mobile Structures and the National
    WHEELS OF PRESERVATION: MOBILE STRUCTURES AND THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES by JOSHUA H. BAUM (Under the Direction of MARK REINBERGER) ABSTRACT This thesis was written to provide evidence and justification for the inclusion of historically significant automobiles on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). During the first half of the twentieth century, the automobile transformed American culture and reshaped America’s landscape. The NRHP includes thousands of individual listings of road-related resources which owe their significance to the automobile. Automobiles themselves, however, are not represented. Arguing for their inclusion, this thesis begins by examining the early history of automobiles in the United States and the history of the NRHP. Mobile structures listed on the NRHP, such as ships and aircraft, are then evaluated for similarities with automobiles. Finally, a privately-run register for historic automobiles is evaluated for compatibility with the NRHP.
