Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 13 - DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES › Subtitle 13 - HISTORIC PRESERVATION DIVISION › Chapter 275 - RULES GOVERNING PROCEDURES FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW FOR GOVERNMENTAL PROJECTS COVERED UNDER SECTIONS 6E-7 AND 6E-8, HRS › Section 13-275-9 - Verification of completion of the detailed mitigation plan

Current through June, 2024
(a)
				Once the detailed mitigation plans are carried out, a request for verification
				shall be submitted by the agency to the SHPD. This request shall document
				completion of the detailed mitigation plans' tasks-usually in the form of a
				completion report, with one copy submitted. For archaeological data recovery, a
				data recovery report that meets the minimum standards set forth in chapter
				13-278 shall be submitted to SHPD for review and approval.
(b) If the SHPD disagrees that the work has
				been successfully completed, it shall send a letter noting uncompleted tasks or
				inadequately completed tasks within forty five days of receipt of the request.
				To proceed with the review process, the agency shall correct the problems,
				consulting with the SHPD as needed to resolve differences, and resubmit the
				completion report.
(c) If the SHPD
				agrees that the work has been successfully concluded, SHPD shall send a
				verification letter within forty five days and the historic preservation
				process is concluded.
(d) In cases
				involving preservation, archaeological data recovery, or architectural
				recordation, the agency has the option to request an accelerated, two step
				verification, understanding that construction projects often need to proceed
				rapidly and that a completion report is often finished months after fieldwork
				is completed.
(1) Step 1, The agency shall
				submit documentation to the SHPD indicating that data recovery fieldwork,
				architectural recordation, or interim protection measures for properties to be
				preserved have been successfully completed. The SHPD writes a letter within
				thirty days to the agency agreeing and stating construction may proceed, with
				the understanding that Step 2 must be completed to conclude the historic
				preservation process. If the measures have not been successfully completed, the
				SHPD shall write a letter within thirty days to the agency indicating what
				needs to be completed. To proceed with the review process, the agency shall
				correct the problems, consulting with the SHPD as needed to resolve
				differences, and resubmit the documentation.
(2) Step 2. The agency shall submit to the
				SHPD a completion report for the data recovery work, architectural recordation,
				or final preservation work. The SHPD shall write a letter to the agency within
				thirty days stating the completion report is acceptable and that the historic
				preservation process is concluded. If the completion report is not acceptable,
				the SHPD shall write a letter within thirty days to the agency indicating
				needed changes. To proceed with the review process, the agency shall correct
				the problems, consulting with the SHPD as needed to resolve differences, and
				resubmit the completion report.
