The Kalaupapa NHP General Management Plan provides broad guidance for the management of the park; a framework to guide guide implementation as well as more detailed planning and decision-making.

Implementation of the GMP must be in compliance with NEPA and Section 106 and 110 of the NHPA.

Individual activities, projects and permits are reviewed under either Streamlined Review or Standard Review process.

 

Streamlined Review


A process that may be used on a project and not have to go through Standard Review; three criteria that need to be met.
1. The project must be an eligible activity. The Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Compliance with Section 106 provides a variety of examples, but this is not an exhaustive list and other activities that are comparable in size, scope and scape may qualify. The Park Superintendent and Section 106 Coordinator should work together to determine whether an activity is eligible for streamlined review.
2. Historic Properties in the Area of Potential Effects (APE) must have been identified with State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurrence; and
3. The undertaking has been determined to have No Adverse Effect.
 

Streamlined Review Activities

The Nationwide Programmatic Agreement outlines the following undertakings that are eligible for Streamlined Review:

 

 

Standard Review

Undertakings that do not qualify under Streamlined Review typically follow Standard Review:

Step 1: Initiate the process. This is the beginning of the consultation process.
Step 2: Identify and document Area of Potential Effects (APE), then consult to determine whether historic properties are present in the APE.
Step 3: In consultation, apply the criteria of adverse effect and determine the effects on historic properties within the APE.
Step 4: If adverse effects are found, continue consultation to identify ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate them, and document their resolution through a memorandum of agreement or programmatic agreement.
 

Annual Reporting

As part of the Programmatic Agreement in the General Management Plan, Kalaupapa NHP will annually provide a report of reviewed projects.
