  • CEQR Technical Manual Chapter 9
    HISTORIC AND CULTURAL RESOURCES CHAPTER 9 Environmental review for historic and cultural resources includes a survey and planning process that helps protect New York City cultural heritage from the potential impacts of projects undergoing CEQR. Historic resources and archaeolog- ical sites are identified and evaluated, and if impacts are found, they are mitigated or avoided to the greatest extent practicable. As with each technical area assessed under CEQR, it is important for an applicant to work closely with the lead agency during the entire environmental review process. As appropriate, the lead agency may determine it is appropriate to consult or coordinate with the city’s expert technical agencies for a particular project. Here, the New York City Land- marks Preservation Commission (LPC) should be consulted for information, technical review, and recommendationsUSE for mitigation relating to historic and cultural resources. As needed by the consultation, it is recommended that LPC be contacted as early as possible in the environmental review process. Section 700 further outlines appropriate coordina- tion. This chapter first defines historic and cultural resources, as well as the criteria used to determine eligibility of an historic resource (Section 100). Then, if it is determined that a project might be of a type that may impact historic and cultural resources (Section 200), a survey is conducted to identify both known and potential resources (Section 300). Next, the impact of the project on these resources is analyzed (SectionManual 400), and if significant impacts are identified, then mitigation measures are discussed and considered (Section 500). AlternativesNOT (Section 600) are also discussed. 100.
