The national historical park is managed as part of a greater ecological, social, 

economic, and cultural system.

Good relations are maintained with cooperating partners, adjacent landowners,

surrounding communities, and private and public groups that affect, and are

affected by, the park. The park is managed proactively to resolve external issues

and concerns and ensure that park values are not compromised.

Because the national historical park is an integral part of larger regional environment, the cooperating partners work cooperatively with others to anticipate,

avoid, and resolve potential conflicts, protect national historical park resources,

and address mutual interests in the quality of life for community residents.

Regional cooperation involves public and private entities, Indian tribes, 

neighboring landowners, and all other concerned parties.

The cooperating partners and tribes culturally affiliated with the national historical

park maintain positive, productive relationships. Cooperating partners respect the

viewpoints and needs of the tribes, continue to promptly address conflicts that

occur, and consider American Indian values in national historical park management

and operation.

Archeological sites are identified and inventoried and their significance is 

determined and documented. Archeological sites are protected in an undisturbed

condition unless it is determined through formal processes that disturbance or

natural deterioration is unavoidable. When disturbance or deterioration is 

unavoidable, the site is professionally documented and excavated and the 

resulting artifacts, materials, and records are curated and conserved in 

consultation with the California state historic preservation office (and American

Indian tribes if applicable). Some archeological sites that can be adequately 

protected may be interpreted to visitors.

Historic structures are inventoried and their significance and integrity are evaluated

under National Register of Historic Places criteria. The qualities that contribute to

the listing or eligibility for listing of historic structures on the national register are

protected in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and

Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (unless it is determined

through a formal process that disturbance or natural deterioration is unavoidable).

These Standards and Guidelines can be found on the World Wide Web at

Historic structures are inventoried and their significance and integrity are evaluated

under National Register of Historic Places criteria. The qualities that contribute to

the listing or eligibility for listing of historic structures on the national register are

protected in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and

Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (unless it is determined

through a formal process that disturbance or natural deterioration is unavoidable).

These Standards and Guidelines can be found on the World Wide Web at

www.cr.nps.gov/local-law/arch_stands_0.htm.

Cultural landscape inventories are conducted to identify landscapes potentially 

eligible for listing in the national register, and to assist in future management 

decisions for landscapes and associated resources, both cultural and natural.

The management of cultural landscapes focuses on preserving the landscape's

physical attributes and use when that use contributes to its historical significance.

The preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction of cultural landscapes is undertaken in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards

for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for the Treatment of

Cultural Landscapes. 

(www.cr.nps.gov/local-law/arch_stnds_8_2.htm)

All museum collections (objects, specimens, and manuscript collections) are identified and inventoried, catalogued, documented, preserved, and protected, and provision is made for their access to and use for exhibits, research, and interpretation.

The qualities that contribute to the significance of collections are protected in

accordance with established professional standards.

Visitors have opportunities to enjoy the cultural resources found in the national

historical park. No activities occur that would cause derogation of the values and

purposes for which the national historical park has been established.

For all the desired park visions identified for sites within the national historical

park, the types and levels of visitor use are consistent with the desired resource

and visitor experience conditions described for those sites.

National historical park visitors will have opportunities to understand and appreciate the significance of the national historical park and its resources, and to develop a personal stewardship ethic.

To the extent feasible, programs, services, and facilities in the national historical

park are accessible to and usable by all people, including those with disabilities.

Commercially provided services would be subject to the same visitor use and experience requirements described above.

All commercial services must be authorized by the participating property owner,

and should be necessary and/or appropriate and economically feasible.

Appropriate planning and coordination is encouraged in use of commercial 

services that support visitor use. 

While recognizing that there are limitations on its capability to totally eliminate all

hazards, cooperating partners, concessionaires, contractors, and cooperators will

work to cooperatively to provide a safe and healthful environment for visitors and

employees. 

The cooperating partners will strive to identify recognizable threats to the safety

and health of persons and to the protection of property by applying nationally

accepted codes, standards, and engineering principles. When practicable, and consistent with congressionally designated purposes and mandates, the Service will

work with park partners to reduce or remove known hazards and apply other

appropriate measures, including closures, guarding, signing, or other forms of

education.

Visitors have reasonable access to the national historical park, and there are connections from the national historical park to regional transportation systems as

appropriate. Transportation facilities in the national historical park provide access

for the protection, use, and enjoyment of national historical park resources. They

preserve the integrity of the surroundings, protect national historical park

resources, and provide a rewarding visitor experience.

The cooperating partners could participate in transportation planning forums that

may result in links to the national historical park or impact national historical park

resources. 

Telecommunication and other utility-related structures could be located in the

national historical park but it is recommended that they do not jeopardize the

national historical park's mission and resources.

The Pacific Maritime Association tracks port activity in terms of dry bulk tonnage plus 1/50th of liquid bulk

tonnage. Their estimates of Richmond and total San Francisco Bay port activity suggest that in terms of

economic activity, the Port of Richmond accounts for an extremely small portion of total San Francisco Bay

Area port activity.

Secretary of the Interior’s

Standards for the Treatment of

Historic Properties

TREATMENT 

Preservation 1. Property will be used as it

was historically, or be given

a new use that maximizes

retention of distinctive

materials, features, spaces,

and spatial relationships.

2. Historic character of a

property will be retained

and preserved.

3. Each property will be

recognized as a physical

record of its time, place,

and use. Work needed to

stabilize, consolidate, and

conserve existing historic

materials and features will

be physically and visually

compatible and identifiable

upon close inspection.

4. Changes to a property that

have acquired historic

significance in their own

right will be retained and

preserved.

5. Distinctive materials,

features, finishes, and

construction techniques or

examples of craftsmanship

that characterize a property

will be preserved.

6. Existing condition of

historic features will be

evaluated to determine the

appropriate level of

intervention needed.

7. Chemical or physical

treatments, if appropriate,

will be undertaken using

the gentlest means

possible. 

Preservation is defined as the

act or process of applying

measures necessary to sustain

the existing form, integrity,

and materials of an historic

property. Work, including 

preliminary measures to 

protect and stabilize the 

property, generally focuses

upon the ongoing 

maintenance and repair of

historic materials and features

rather than extensive 

replacement and new 

construction. New exterior

additions are not within the

scope of this treatment; 

however, the limited and 

sensitive upgrading of

mechanical, electrical, and

plumbing systems and other

code-required work to make

properties functional is 

appropriate within a 

preservation project.

TREATMENT 

Rehabilitation 1. Property will be used as it

was historically or be given

a new use that requires

minimal change to its distinctive materials, features,

spaces, and spatial

relationships.

2. Historic character of a

property will be retained

and preserved. Removal of

distinctive materials or

alteration of features,

spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a

property will be avoided.

3. Each property will be

recognized as a physical

record of its time, place,

and use.

4. Changes to a property that

have acquired historic

significance in their own

right will be retained and

preserved.

5. Distinctive materials,

features, finishes, and

construction techniques or

examples of craftsmanship

that characterize a property

will be preserved.

6. Deteriorated historic

features will be repaired

rather than replaced.

7. Chemical or physical

treatments, if appropriate,

will be undertaken using

the gentlest means possible.

8. New additions, exterior

alterations, or related new

construction will not

destroy historic materials,

features, and spatial

relationships that

characterized the property.

9. New additions and

adjacent or related new

construction will be

undertaken in such a

manner that, if removed in

the future, the essential

form and integrity of the

historic property and its

environment would be

unimpaired.

Rehabilitation is defined as

the act or process of making

possible a compatible use for

a property through repair,

alterations, and additions

while preserving those 

portions or features which

convey its historical, cultural,

or architectural values.

Restoration is defined as the

act or process of accurately

depicting the form, features,

and character of a property as

it appeared at a particular

period of time by means of

the removal of features from

TREATMENT 

Restoration 1. Property will be used as it

was historically or be given

a new use which reflects

the property's restoration

period.

2. Materials and features from

restoration period will be

retained and preserved.

3. Each property will be

recognized as a physical

record of its time, place,

and use. Work needed to

stabilize, consolidate, and

conserve materials and

features from restoration

period will be physically

and visually compatible and

identifiable upon close

inspection.

4. Materials, features,

spaces, and finishes that

characterize other

historical periods will be

documented prior to their

alteration or removal.

5. Distinctive materials,

features, finishes, and

construction techniques or

examples of craftsmanship

that characterize the

restoration period will be

preserved.

6. Deteriorated features from

restoration period will be

repaired rather than

replaced.

7. Replacement of missing

features from restoration

period will be substantiated

by documentary and

physical evidence.

8. Chemical or physical

treatments, if appropriate,

will be undertaken using

the gentlest means

possible.

9. Designs that were never

executed historically will

not be constructed.

Restoration is defined as the

act or process of accurately

depicting the form, features,

and character of a property as

it appeared at a particular

period of time by means of

the removal of features from

other periods in its history

and reconstruction of missing 

features from the restoration

period. The limited and 

sensitive upgrading of

mechanical, electrical, and 

plumbing systems and other

code-required work to make

properties functional is 

appropriate within a 

restoration project.

the act or process of 

depicting, by means of new

construction, the form, 

features, and detailing of a

non-surviving site, landscape,

building, structure, or object

TREATMENT 

Reconstruction 1. Property will be used to

depict vanished or

non-surviving portions of

a property when

documentary and physical

evidence is available to

permit accurate

reconstruction with

minimal conjecture and

such reconstruction is

essential to the public

understanding of the

property.

2. Will be preceded by a

thorough archeological

investigation to identify

and evaluate those features

and artifacts which are

essential to an accurate

reconstruction.

3. Will include measures to

preserve any remaining

historic materials, features,

and spatial relationships.

4. Will be based on accurate

duplication of historic

features and elements

substantiated by

documentary or physical

evidence rather than on

conjectural designs or the

availability of different

features from other historic

properties.

5. Will be clearly identified

as a contemporary

re-creation.

6. Designs that were never

executed historically will

not be constructed.

Reconstruction is defined as

the act or process of 

depicting, by means of new

construction, the form, 

features, and detailing of a

non-surviving site, landscape,

for the purpose of replicating

its appearance at a specific

period of time and in its

techniques from automobile manufacturing including prefabrication processes that accelerated the

production of ships from months to days. The concepts he developed for the mass production of

commercial and military ships are still in use today. It was at the Richmond Kaiser Shipyards where he

pioneered the idea for pre-paid worker health care, which evolved into the Kaiser Permanente-a nationally

known health care provider.

As the nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has the responsibility for most of our nationally owned

public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering sound use of our land and water resources; protecting our fish, wildlife,

and biological diversity; preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places; and providing
