To the extent possible, DEP will educate PHMC regarding these programs so that PHMC can make its Fact Sheet available in an appropriate and timely way. The proposed activity affects a structure that is an historic resource listed on the National Register of Historic Places or 2. It considers a structure on the site of the proposed activity to be eligible for listing on this Register. Photographs PHMC has requested that project applicant attach photographs of any building over 40 years old to the Cultural Resources Notice. However the PHMC requests that applicants submit information and photographs of all structures over 40 year age.
Applicants are sometimes uncertain as to the age of the buildings within their project area.
By notifying the PHMC of all buildings over 40 years of age, the applicant is more likely to include potentially historic resources in their submissions. The staff at the PHMC is trained in dating the ages of historic resources. Buildings constructed within the past 50 years are not usually evaluated for their eligibility, except in certain cases. For example, properties achieving exceptional importance within the past 50 years may be considered eligible for National Register. Therefore, by reviewing properties 40 years of age and older, the PHMC is afforded a slightly greater opportunity to evaluate such historic resources.
