with our office and other consulting parties. We formally request that DRMS provide documentation how the <br />Section 106 regulations have been fulfilled. <br />Please keep in mind, that the undertaking's APE, as defined by 36 CFR 800.16(d), includes "the geographic area or <br />areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of historic <br />properties, if any such properties exist." The Section 106 regulations also direct that "an adverse effect is found <br />when an undertaking may alter, directly or indirectly, any of the characteristics of a historic property that qualify <br />the property for inclusion in the National Register in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the property's <br />location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, or association" (emphasis added) and these effects <br />include those that are reasonably foreseeable in addition to those that may occur later in time, be farther removed <br />in distance, and be cumulative—see 36 CFR 800.5(a)(1). <br />As noted above, the Section 106 consultation process does involve other consulting parties such as local <br />governments and Tribes, which as stipulated in 36 CFR 800.3 are required to be notified of the undertaking. <br />Additional information provided by the local government, Tribes or other consulting parties may cause our office to <br />re-evaluate our comments and recommendations. Please note that our compliance letter does not end the 30 -day <br />review period provided to other consulting parties. <br />We look forward to continued consultation with the DRMS and other parties, as appropriate, regarding the subject <br />undertaking. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Mark Tobias, Section 106 Compliance Manager, at <br />03) 866-4674 or mark.tobias@state.co.us. <br />incerely, <br />%C <br />d and .
