(20 ILCS 3420/4) (from Ch. 127, par. 133c24)
| ||
Sec. 4. State agency undertakings.
| ||
(a) As early in the planning process as may be practicable | ||
and prior to
the approval of the final design or plan of any | ||
undertaking by a State
agency, or prior to the funding of any | ||
undertaking by a State agency, or
prior to an action of | ||
approval or entitlement of any private undertaking by
a State | ||
agency, written notice of the project shall be given to the
| ||
Director either by the State agency or the recipients of its | ||
funds, permits
or licenses. The State agency shall consult with | ||
the Director to determine
the documentation requirements | ||
necessary for identification and treatment
of historic | ||
resources. For the purposes of identification and evaluation
of | ||
historic resources, the Director may require archaeological | ||
and historic
investigations. Responsibility for notice and | ||
documentation may be
delegated by the State agency to a local | ||
or private designee.
| ||
(b) Within 30 days after receipt of complete and correct | ||
documentation
of a proposed undertaking, the Director shall | ||
review and comment to the
agency on the likelihood that the | ||
undertaking will have an adverse effect
on a historic resource. | ||
In the case of a private undertaking, the
Director shall, not | ||
later than 30 days following the receipt of an
application with | ||
complete documentation of the undertaking, either approve
that | ||
application allowing the undertaking to proceed or tender to | ||
the
applicant a written statement setting forth the reasons for | ||
the
requirement of an archaeological investigation. If there is | ||
no action
within 30 days after the filing of the application | ||
with the complete
documentation of the undertaking, the | ||
applicant may deem the application
approved and may proceed | ||
with the undertaking. Thereafter, all
requirements for | ||
archaeological investigations are waived under this Act.
| ||
(c) If the Director finds that an undertaking will | ||
adversely affect an
historic resource or is inconsistent with | ||
agency policies, the State agency
shall consult with the | ||
Director and shall discuss alternatives to the proposed
| ||
undertaking which could eliminate, minimize, or mitigate its | ||
adverse effect.
During the consultation process, the State | ||
agency shall explore
all feasible and prudent plans which | ||
eliminate, minimize, or mitigate
adverse effects on historic | ||
resources. Grantees, permittees, licensees, or
other parties | ||
in interest and representatives of national, State, and local
| ||
units of government and public and private organizations may | ||
participate
in the consultation process. The process may | ||
involve on-site inspections and
public informational meetings | ||
pursuant to regulations issued by the
Historic Preservation | ||
Agency.
| ||
(d) The State agency and the Director may agree that there | ||
is a feasible
and prudent alternative which eliminates, | ||
minimizes, or mitigates the
adverse effect of the undertaking. | ||
Upon such agreement, or if the State
agency and the Director | ||
agree that there are no feasible and prudent
alternatives which | ||
eliminate, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect, the
| ||
Director shall prepare a Memorandum of Agreement describing the
| ||
alternatives or stating the finding. The State agency may | ||
proceed with the
undertaking once a Memorandum of Agreement has | ||
been signed by both the
State agency and the Director.
| ||
(e) After the consultation process, the Director and the | ||
State agency
may fail to agree on the existence of a feasible | ||
and prudent alternative
which would eliminate, minimize, or | ||
mitigate the adverse effect of the
undertaking on the historic | ||
resource. If no agreement is reached, the agency
shall call a | ||
public meeting in the county where the undertaking is proposed
| ||
within 60 days. If, within 14 days following conclusion of the | ||
public
meeting, the State agency and the Director fail to agree | ||
on a feasible and
prudent alternative, the proposed | ||
undertaking, with supporting
documentation, shall be submitted | ||
to the Historic Preservation
Mediation Committee. The document | ||
shall be sufficient to identify each
alternative considered by | ||
the Agency and the Director during the
consultation process and | ||
the reason for its rejection.
| ||
(f) The Mediation Committee shall consist of the Director | ||
and 5 persons
appointed by the Director for terms of 3 years | ||
each, each of whom shall be
no lower in rank than a division | ||
chief and each of whom shall represent a
different State | ||
agency. An agency that is a party to mediation shall be
| ||
notified of all hearings and deliberations and shall have the | ||
right to
participate in deliberations as a non-voting member of | ||
the Committee.
Within 30 days after submission of the proposed | ||
undertaking, the Committee
shall meet with the Director and the | ||
submitting agency to review each
alternative considered by the | ||
State agency and the Director and to evaluate
the existence of | ||
a feasible and prudent alternative. In the event that the
| ||
Director and the submitting agency continue to disagree, the | ||
Committee
shall provide a statement of findings or comments | ||
setting forth an
alternative to the proposed undertaking or | ||
stating the finding that there
is no feasible or prudent | ||
alternative. The State agency shall consider the
written | ||
comments of the Committee and shall respond in writing to the
| ||
Committee before proceeding with the undertaking.
| ||
(g) When an undertaking is being reviewed pursuant to | ||
Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, | ||
the procedures of this law
shall not apply and any review or | ||
comment by the Director on such undertaking
shall be within the | ||
framework or procedures of the federal law. When an
undertaking | ||
involves a structure listed on the Illinois Register of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Historic
Places, the rules and procedures of the Illinois | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Historic Preservation Act
shall apply. This subsection shall | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
not prevent the Illinois Historic
Preservation Agency from | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
entering into an agreement with the Advisory
Council on | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Historic Preservation pursuant to Section 106 of the National
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Historic Preservation Act to substitute this Act and its | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
procedures for
procedures set forth in Council regulations | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
found in 36 C.F.R. Part 800.7.
A State undertaking that is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
necessary to prevent an immediate and
imminent threat to life | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
or property shall be exempt from the requirements
of this Act. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Where possible, the Director shall be consulted in the
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
determination of the exemption. In all cases, the agency shall | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
provide the
Director with a statement of the reasons for the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
exemption and shall have
an opportunity to comment on the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
exemption. The statement and the comments
of the Director shall | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
be included in the annual report of the Historic
Preservation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Agency as a guide to future actions. The provisions of this
Act | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
do not apply to undertakings pursuant to the Illinois Oil and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gas Act,
the Surface-Mined Land Conservation and Reclamation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Act and the Surface
Coal Mining Land Conservation and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Reclamation Act.
