REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s assessment of potential impacts of proposed project operation on historic properties in the site and vicinity, along transmission corridors, and at offsite areas. Historic properties include districts, sites, buildings, structures, or objects of his- torical, archaeological, architectural, or traditional cultural significance (U.S. Department of the Interior 1990a, 1990b). Historic properties that need to be considered during the project include those evaluated as being “significant,” which are those properties that are either listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (U.S. Department of the Interior 1977). The scope of the review directed by this plan should include consideration of the impacts of operation on significant historic properties and the adequacy of proposed methods to mitigate any adverse impacts on these resources. The review should be of sufficient detail to enable the reviewer to predict and assess potential impacts and to evaluate how these impacts should be treated in the licensing process. Where appropriate, the reviewer should consider alternative locations, designs, or operating procedures that would mitigate pre- dicted adverse impacts.
