AMENDED MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINSTRATION
AND
THE MICHIGAN STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE
REGARDING
THE WOODWARD AVENUE STREETCAR PROJECT
IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN
WHEREAS, the Woodward Avenue Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project was abandoned
after issuance of the Record of Decision; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is proposing to provide funding to
the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to construct the Woodward Avenue
Streetcar Project from downtown Detroit north to near Chandler Street (the Project), and
FTA has determined the Project to be a Federal undertaking subject to the National
Historic Preservation Act, 16 USC §470 (NHPA); and
WHEREAS, the MDOT has agreed to act as project sponsor for the Project, which is
substantially similar to Alternative B-3 as analyzed for the LRT Project; and
WHEREAS, M-1 Rail will fund, construct, and operate the Project for a period of years;
and
WHEREAS, the FTA and the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) have,
pursuant to Stipulation IV Administrative Provisions, Section E of the Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) enacted June 3, 2011, have agreed to amend the MOA to reflect the
addition of the MDOT and M-1 Rail as invited signatories, and the removal of the City of
Detroit as an invited signatory, and changes in project scope, Area of Potential Effects
and effects; and
WHEREAS, this Amended MOA supersedes the MOA enacted June 3, 2011; and
WHEREAS, FTA has determined that the Project would introduce elements that would
result in adverse effects on the following five historic properties:
•
•
•
•
•
the First Federal Building;
the Grand Circus Park Historic District;
the Col. Frank J. Hecker House;
the East Ferry Avenue Historic District;
the Woodward-West Palmer-Cass-West Kirby Historic District;
WHEREAS, the FTA has consulted with the SHPO about the Project in accordance with
the regulation implementing Section 106 of the NHPA (36 CFR part 800); and
WHEREAS, the FTA notified the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP)
about the adverse effects of the Project, and the ACHP declined to participate in the
1
Section 106 consultation for this Project (ACHP has been notified and FTA is awaiting a
response); and
WHEREAS, the organizations and tribes listed in Exhibit 1 have been treated as
consulting parties in the Section 106 review process in accordance with 36 CFR
800.2(c)(3); and
WHEREAS, the FTA, in consultation with SHPO, and the other consulting parties,
determined the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the Project pursuant to 36 CFR
800.4(a) (Exhibit 2), identified and evaluated the properties listed on, or eligible for
listing on, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within that APE pursuant to
36 CFR 800.4(b)-(d), and assessed the adverse effects of the Project on the identified
historic properties in accordance with 36 CFR 800.5; and
WHEREAS, the various Section 106 determinations and evaluations and this Agreement
were developed with appropriate public involvement (pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d) and
800.6(a)), coordinated with the scoping process, the process for public review and
comment, and the public hearings conducted to comply with NEPA and its implementing
regulations; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the FTA and the Michigan SHPO (collectively referred to as
“Signatories”) agree that the Project will be implemented in accordance with the
following stipulations.
STIPULATIONS
FTA will ensure that the terms of this Agreement are carried out and will require, as a
condition of any approval of FTA funding for the Project, adherence to the stipulations of
this Agreement. MDOT, the project sponsor, will take the lead in the implementation of
each stipulation unless otherwise noted in the stipulation.
I. HISTORIC CONTEXT AND DESIGN
A. The MDOT and M-1 Rail shall require in final design contract(s) for the
Project, that any element of the Project that has the potential to visually affect
any one of the historic properties listed in this Agreement be designed to be
compatible with its historic context. The Project design shall not include or
allow the placement of large advertising billboards above any station where it
would visually affect any one of the historic properties listed in this
Agreement. Following the project’s completion, the MDOT and M-1 Rail
will not allow the addition of any vertical elements or rooftop structures.
B. The M-1 Rail design team will include a historical architect who meets the
Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications (36 CFR Part 61) for
that discipline. This historic preservation architect will guide all aspects of
the compliance with this Agreement during design and construction of each
2
Project phase with the exception of those related to archaeology under
Stipulation III, and will make presentations to SHPO and generate all reports
to SHPO required by this Agreement.
C. The MDOT and M-1 Rail, or its design contractors, shall hold Project design
workshops with the SHPO and consulting parties at approximately the 30%,
60%, and 90% stage of Project design for each phase of the Project to review
and discuss proposed design plans for all elements of the Project with the
potential to adversely affect any historic properties.
D. The MDOT and M-1 Rail shall submit the design coming out of each design
workshop prescribed in Stipulation I.C to the SHPO for comment or approval.
If the SHPO does not respond to a submission of drawings within 21 days, the
MDOT and M-1 Rail shall deem that the SHPO has approved that design.
E. The historical architect working on the Project under Stipulation I.B shall be
selected in consultation with SHPO and shall be responsible for assisting
SHPO in all reviews and approvals required of SHPO by this Agreement.
II. NRHP NOMINATIONS
A. The MDOT and M-1 Rail shall complete a NRHP nomination for the
Woodward-West Palmer-Cass-West Kirby Historic District and First Federal
Building, which have been determined eligible for listing in the NRHP. The
nomination shall meet the standards and requirements of the NRHP and the
Michigan SHPO. Final products for the nomination shall include the
following: (1) two original copies of the nomination form; (2) photographs;
(3) Site Plan; (4) one CD-R containing color images in tiff to be submitted to
the National Park Service as part of the National Register nomination package
(Images must be formatted and labeled and the CD-R labeled in accordance
with the National Register’s requirements), and one CD-R containing the
same images in jpeg for the review board presentation; and (5) copies of all
research materials. The NRHP nomination shall be developed in consultation
with the SHPO by or under the direct supervision of the person who fulfills
the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications (36 CFR Part 61) as
an architectural historian.
III. ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
A. The MDOT and M-1 Rail will develop a program of construction
monitoring in all portions of the streetcar corridor and passenger station
locations that have the potential to affect elements of the pre-1805 city. This
includes all portions of the proposed project south of Grand Circus Park.
Archaeological deposits at the Original Protestant Cemetery (20WN379)
were encountered approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) below grade. As such, all
ground-disturbing activities reaching and/or extending beyond 0.6 m (24 in)
3
below grade in the areas south of Grand Circus Park shall be monitored by a
professional archaeologist who meets the Secretary of Interior’s
qualifications for that discipline (36 CFR Part 61).
B. If unanticipated archaeological artifacts, structures, human remains, or other
archaeological resources are encountered, the MDOT and M-1 Rail will: (1)
stop work involving subsurface ground disturbance in the area of the find
and, as determined by the professional archeologist, in the surrounding area
where further subsurface finds can be reasonably expected; (2) notify the
SHPO, and Indian tribes (if appropriate), about the discovery; (3) have the
archaeologist investigate the discovery and recommend to SHPO either: (a)
that construction be permitted to resume, or (b) that the discovery be further
investigated and if MDOT and M-1 Rail determine, consultation undertaken,
to determine if it is eligible for the NRHP. Construction may resume if the
qualified archaeologist so recommends and SHPO agrees. Should SHPO
fail to respond within 21 calendar days after receipt of the notification and
investigation, the MDOT and M-1 Rail shall proceed in accordance with the
qualified archaeologist’s recommendation.
C. If the qualified archaeologist recommends further investigation of the
discovery, an expedited process shall be followed in accordance with 36
CFR 800.13(b) which: (1) determines the eligibility of the archaeological
resource; (2) if the resource is deemed eligible and SHPO agrees,
determines the extent of the resource affected by the Project; (3) considers
Project changes to avoid an eligible archaeological resource, if feasible; (4)
develops a data recovery plan if the resource is not avoidable; (5) executes
the data recovery plan for the resource; and (6) curates the results. Details
of these activities shall be expeditiously developed and executed by the
qualified archaeologist in consultation with SHPO. SHPO’s failure to
respond within seven days of any written request for comment or
concurrence shall be deemed concurrence.
D. The MDOT and M-1 Rail shall develop a preliminary data recovery plan
before construction begins and must submit that data recovery plan to SHPO
for approval before construction may begin.
IV. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
A. Implementation Schedule. The MDOT and M-1 Rail shall develop a schedule
for the implementation of the provisions of this Agreement (schedule should
be developed before construction begins and included as an attachment to the
Agreement). The schedule will include milestones for completion of
deliverables and will be posted on the Project website. The MDOT and M-1
Rail will update the schedule, as necessary, and will include an up-to-date
schedule in each monitoring report required by Stipulation IV.C below.
4
B. Dispute Resolution
1. In the event SHPO objects in writing to any design or submission
presented pursuant to this Agreement within the timeframe specified in
this Agreement or, if no timeframe is specified, within 21 calendar days of
its receipt, the FTA will consult further with SHPO to seek resolution. If
either the FTA or SHPO determines that SHPO and the FTA cannot
resolve the objection, FTA will invite the ACHP to review all
documentation relevant to the dispute, including FTA’s proposed
resolution. The FTA will prepare the documentation about the subject of
the dispute required by 36 CFR 800.11(g) for transmittal by FTA to
ACHP with FTA's proposed resolution. ACHP is expected to provide its
comments to FTA within 30 days of receipt of the documentation. FTA
will then take these comments into account in reaching a final decision
concerning the dispute. If ACHP fails to respond within the 30-day
period, then FTA will assume that ACHP has no comment and proceed
with its final decision.
2. Should the SHPO or the FTA object in writing within 30 (thirty) days to
any action proposed pursuant to this Agreement, the FTA shall consult
with the objecting party to resolve the objection. If the FTA determines
that the objection cannot be resolved, the FTA shall forward all
documentation relevant to the dispute to the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (Council). Within 45 (forty-five) days after receipt of all
pertinent documentation, the Council will either: (1) provide the FTA with
recommendations, which the FTA will take into account in reaching a
final decision regarding the dispute; or (2) Notify the FTA that it will
comment pursuant to 36 CFR 800.7(c) and proceed to comment. Any
Council comment provided in response to such a request will be taken into
account by FTA in accordance with 36 CFR 800.7(c)(4) with reference to
the subject of the dispute.
3. This process for resolving disputes will pertain only to the subject of the
dispute. The responsibilities of the Signatories to implement all actions
pursuant to this Agreement that are not affected by the dispute remain
unchanged.
C. Monitoring and Reporting
1. Any Signatory to this Agreement may request in writing, at any time, a
review of the implementation of the terms of this Agreement. Such
review shall take place through a meeting or a conference telephone call
within two weeks of the request unless extended for good cause.
2. Quarterly & Semi Annual Reports: During the final design and
construction of the Project, a meeting or conference call between the
5
SHPO and the MDOT and M-1 Rail shall be held on a quarterly basis for
the first year following the implementation of this Agreement. If, after the
first year, it is determined that semi-annual meetings would be sufficient,
the meetings shall be held every six months. If it is determined that
quarterly meetings are beneficial, then the parties shall continue to meet
every three months. During the final design and construction of the
Project, the MDOT and M-1 Rail shall report every three months to the
other Signatories through a meeting, a conference call, or a written
memorandum, the status of the implementation of this Agreement.
3. A report shall be posted on the Project’s public website and shall include
any scheduling changes proposed, any problems encountered, and any
disputes or objections received during efforts to carry out the terms of the
Agreement. Sensitive information about the location of archaeological
resources or traditional cultural resources shall be withheld from the
written reports.
4. The SHPO may monitor activities carried out pursuant to this Agreement
at the SHPO’s discretion upon reasonable notice.
D. Emergency Situations: Immediate rescue and salvage operations conducted to
preserve life or property are exempt from the provisions of Section 106 of the
NHPA and this Agreement. In the event that an emergency situation should
occur during the Project, FTA shall follow the provisions of 36 CFR 800.12.
The FTA will provide an incident report to the SHPO detailing any effects to
historic properties as a result of said operations.
E. Amendments of this Agreement:
1. This Agreement may be amended when such an amendment is agreed to in
writing by all Signatories. Any signatory to this Agreement may propose
to the other Signatories in writing that it be amended, whereupon the
Signatories will consult in accordance with 36 CFR 800.6(c)(7) to
consider such an amendment.
2. The amendment will be effective on the date a copy signed by all of the
Signatories is filed with the Advisory Council.
F. Termination
1. This Agreement will terminate upon completion of construction of the
Project or 5 years after it was submitted to the ACHP, whichever occurs
first.
2. Any signatory to this Agreement may terminate it by providing ninety (90)
days written notice to the other parties, provided that the parties will
6
consult during the period prior to termination to seek agreement on
amendments or other actions that would avoid termination. In the event of
termination, the FTA will comply with 36 CFR Sections 800.3 through
800.13 with regards to the undertakings covered in this Agreement.
3. The signatory proposing to terminate this Agreement shall so notify all
Signatories in writing to this Agreement explaining the reasons for
termination and affording at least sixty (60) days to consult and seek
alternatives to termination. The Signatories shall then consult.
4. Should such consultation fail, the FTA or the SHPO may terminate the
Agreement by so notifying all Signatories in writing. Should this
Agreement be terminated, the FTA shall either: (a) consult in accordance
with 36 CFR § 800.6 to develop a new Agreement; or (b) request the
comments of the Council pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.7. Upon termination
of the Agreement, FTA may cancel its involvement in the project and
recover all FTA funds dedicated to the project.
G. Execution of Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signed signature pages
may be transmitted by facsimile or email, and any such signature shall have
the same legal effect as an original.
EXECUTION of this Memorandum of Agreement by the FTA, the MDOT, M-1 Rail,
and the Michigan SHPO, the submission of documentation and filing of this
Memorandum of Agreement with the ACHP, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.6(b)(1)(iv), and
implementation of its terms evidence that FTA has taken into account the effects of this
undertaking on historic properties and afforded the ACHP an opportunity to comment.
