which is defined as the geographic area or areas within which

APE should reflect the potential visual and physical effects
to the setting of historic resources, which include outbuildings,
canals and ditches, roads and railroad grades, as well as residences,
commercial, industrial or agricultural structures as well as
cultural landscapes.
- Conduct a file search and field survey to identify
historic below-ground and above-ground resources.

or structure (50+ years old) and archaeological site within the
Area of Potential Effect. An inventory form should include your
opinion on the National Register eligibility of any resource
for which an inventory form is completed.
- Supply your opinion on the project’s potential
effects to resources identified as eligible for the National
Register within the Area of Potential Effect.
- Consult with the appropriate local government
and other consulting parties regarding your determinations of
eligibility and potential effects, if applicable.
