Federal Planning and Historic Places: The Section 106 Process (Volume 2) (Heritage Resource Management Series, 2)

Section 106. A critical section of an obscure law, the National Preservation Act. It has saved thousands of historic sites, archeological sites, buildings, and neighborhoods across the country from destruction by federal projects. And it has let even more be destroyed, damaged, or somehow changed. Tom King demythologizes Section 106, explaining its origins, its rationale, and the procedures that must be followed in carrying out its terms.
