(a) The purpose of this chapter is to promote the use and conservation of historic properties for the education, inspiration, pleasure, and enrichment of the citizens of Hawaii by presenting a historic preservation review process for state and county projects. The review process is designed to identify significant historic properties in project areas and then to develop and execute plans to handle impacts to the significant historic properties in the public interest. The process supports the policy of chapter 6E, HRS, to preserve, restore, and maintain historic properties for future generations.

(b) This chapter applies to all state or county agencies funding or directly undertaking a project, or having a project undertaken on lands under its ownership or control which may affect historic properties, or by a state agency transferring any land under its jurisdiction which may contain historic properties. Any proposed project which may affect a historic property shall not be commenced, or, in the event it has already begun, continued, until DLNR, as represented by SHPD, shall have given its written concurrence. This chapter itemizes the process to obtain concurrence.

(c) Participants in the historic preservation review process.

(1) The primary participants in the process are DLNR, represented by the SHPD, and the agency with jurisdiction over the project. The agency has responsibility for complying with the historic preservation review process.

The agency may have others prepare the review process items.

(2) Interested persons are those organizations and individuals that are concerned with the effect of a project on historic properties. Provisions in these rules enable interested persons to participate in the process.
