Project Types
Acquisition and Development - Those projects that involve the
excavation, stabilization, restoration, rehabilitation,
reconstruction, or acquisition of a designated property
or site are considered "acquisition
and development." Archaeological projects are considered Acquisition
and Development when the level of investigation is "intensive excavation." In
such cases, the affected site must be designated before the application
is submitted. Designated properties include those
listed on one or more of the following:
- National Register of Historic
Places, which is administered by the National Park Service
- State Register of Historic
Properties, which is administered by the Colorado Historical
Society
- Local Landmark lists, which
are administered by local governments
Education
- Those projects that provide historic preservation information
or information about historic sites to the public. Includes
publications, videos, brochures, markers, exhibits and other
interpretive programs.
Survey
and Planning - Those projects that involve identification,
recording, evaluation, designation, and planning for the protection
of significant historic buildings, structures, sites, and districts.
For archaeological projects, all levels of survey and test excavations
are considered Survey and Planning projects and prior historic designation
is not required. However, once testing reveals eligibility
for designation, further excavation may not occur without designation.
