Overview: This web and audio seminar covers the basics of compliance with Section 106, which requires review of project effects on archaeological sites, historic building and neighborhoods, culturally important landscapes and sites, and cultural places of tribal groups. The course will help you understand the logic of the review process, its specialized terminology, and practical ways of working through its procedural steps to achieve balanced solutions to conflicts between development and preservation. The seminar is held over two sessions, each two-hours long. Each session provides time for questions and answers and suggests practical exercises between sessions to assist in understanding Section 106.
