F WC Agreement No. 18101 Attachment C determinations of eligibility for those properties that are to be affected by the proposed activity. (4) If a State is advised by the SHPO that an undertaking will adversely affect a property that is eligible for or listed on the National Register, the State shall ask the appropriate Regional Director to determine measures for mitigating or avoiding impacts. This may require the development of a memorandum of agreement among the Service, State, and State Historic Preservation Officer to address specific measures that will be employed to avoid or minimize adverse effects to historic properties located within the area of potential effect. Adverse effects that may diminish the character and integrity of historic properties include (a) Physical destruction, damage, or alteration of all or part of the property, (b) Isolation of the property from or alteration of the character of the property's setting when that character contributes to the property's qualification for the National Register of Historic Places; (c) Introduction of visual, audible, or atmospheric elements that are out of character with the property or alter its setting; (d) Neglect of a property resulting in its deterioration or destruction, and (e) Transfer, lease, or sale of the historic property. (5) If a previously unknown property that is eligible for listing on the National Register is discovered at any time during the implementation period of a Federal Aid project, the Regional Director must be notified and all actions which may adversely effect it must be suspended. The Service shall provide the State with instructions on how to proceed. 1.15 Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Actof 1970, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4601) A. Summary. Federal agencies may not approve any grant unless the grantee provides Assurances that it will comply with the Act. Prices to be paid for lands or interests in lands must be fair and reasonable (except when the price is fixed by law, or when the lands are to be acquired at public auction or by condemnation and the value determined by the court). Persons displaced from their homes, businesses, and farms must receive relocation services, compensation, and fair equitable treatment. B. References. (1) Department of Interior Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Regulations (41 CFR 114-50).

The fact that it occurred must be documented in project files and in the appraisal report. (2) Real property must be appraised, the appraisal report reviewed, and the fair market value established prior to initiation of negotiations with the owner. (3) If the acquisition of only part of a property will leave the owner with an uneconomic remnant, the State or other grantee must offer to buy the whole property. The term "uneconomic remnant" applies only to Title III of the Act and the necessity of the acquiring agency to offer to purchase such a remainder or the entire property. It is not to be construed with the term "uneconomic unit" as it applies to the in -lieu payment of farm operations under Title II of the Act. "P> Attachment C, Page 6 of 9
