Review and Compliance

The South Dakota Office of the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) receives and reviews an average of 1,500 federal and state projects each year. SHPO reviews these projects under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended, and the South Dakota Codified Law (SDCL) 1-19A-11.1.

Section 106 of the NHPA requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. In general, an undertaking is any project or activity that is federally funded, permitted, or licensed, or receives federal approval. The role of the SHPO in the Section 106 process is to advise and assist federal agencies in carrying out their Section 106 responsibilities. The SHPO reflects the interest of South Dakota and its citizens in the preservation of their cultural heritage and ensures that agencies make a reasonable and good-faith effort to consider the effects of their projects on historic properties. Most of the projects that SHPO receives for Section 106 review and consultation have no effect on historic properties. Approximately 1% of all projects are determined to have an adverse effect on historic properties, so a memorandum of agreement (MOA) is negotiated and executed to avoid, minimize, or mitigate these adverse effects.

Similar to Section 106 of the NHPA, the role of the SHPO in the state preservation law, SDCL 1-19A-11.1, is to comment on projects proposed by the State, or any political subdivision of the State (cities, counties, etc.), that have the potential to damage, destroy, or encroach upon any historic property listed in the State or National Register of Historic Places.

Through project review and consultation with federal and state agencies, the review and compliance program has been highly successful in preventing the inadvertent destruction of historic properties in South Dakota.
