Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project 4.7.2 Regulatory Framework 4.7.2.1 Federal National Historic Preservation Act The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) requires that federal agencies take into account the effects of their undertakings in advance on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which is the nation's master inventory of known historic resources.The NRHP is administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and includes listings of buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts that possess historic, architectural, engineering, archaeological, or cultural significance at the national, state, or local level. Structures, sites, buildings, districts, and objects over 50 years of age can be listed in the NRHP as significant historic resources. However, properties under 50 years of age that are of exceptional importance or are contributors to a historic district can also be included in the NRHP.' The criteria for listing in the NRHP include resources that: a) are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history; b) are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; C) embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or d) have yielded or may likely yield information important in prehistory or history. 4.7.2.2 State California Register of Historical Resources The California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) is used by state and local agencies, private groups, and citizens to identify, evaluate, register, and protect California's historical resources. The CRHR is the authoritative guide to the state's significant historical and archaeological resources. This program encourages public recognition and protection of resources of architectural, historical, archaeological, and cultural significance, identifies historical resources for state and local planning purposes, determines eligibility for state historic preservation grant funding, and affords certain protections under CEQA. California Environmental Quality Act Under CEQA, public agencies must consider the effects of their actions on both historical resources and unique archaeological resources. Pursuant to PRC § 21084.1, a "project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect A[historic]district possesses a significant concentration,linkage,or continuity of sites,buildings,structures,or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development(NPS 1983).
