Mr. Hampton Cross
State Historic Preservation Officer
and Director, Department of Consumer
and Regulatory Affairs
614 H Street, N.W., Room 305
Washington, D.C. 20001

Dear Mr. Cross:

Since 1992, the National Park Service has been working closely with the Historic Preservation office Or the District of Columbia and the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation concerning the Comprehenaive Design Plan for the White House. Care has been taken to include both the District and the Advisory Council in all stages of the planning process and staff members have been instrumental in the many discussions and reviews held to date. Both the District Of Columbia and the Advisory Council have representatives who serve on the project Executive Committee which is helping to guide the planning.

Upon an inspection or files, we find that a formel letter initiating the consultation process as per the National Park Service's current Memorandum of Agreement with the Advisory Council and the National Council of State Historic Preservation Officers was never sent to your offices. we apologize for the oversight and ask that this letter serve as confirmation or our continuing consultation process as well as our commitment to that process in the future.

Sinctrely,

Re: President 'a Park, Package 117, White House, Project Type 03 Washington, DC

Dear Ms. DeLaura:

 

This responds to your July 29, 1996, request for information on the presence of species which are Federally listed or proposed for listing as endangered or threatened in the project area. We have reviewed the information you enclosed and are providing comments in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 at seq.).

Except for occasional transient individuals, no Federally listed or proposed endangered or threatened species are known to exist in the project impact area. Therefore, no Biological Assessment or further Section 7 Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service la required. Should project plans change, or if additional information on the distribution of listed or proposed species becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered. This response relates only to endangered species under our jurisdiction. For information or. other rare apecioa, you should contact Ms. Lynn Davidson of the Maryland Natural Heritage Program at (410) 974-2870.

An additional concern of the Service is wetlands protection. Both the Federal and the multi-mate Chesapeake Bay Program wetlands policy have the interim goal of no overall net 10BS of the Basin'a remaining wetlands, and the long term goal of increasing the quality and quantity of the Basin 'a wetlands resource base. Because of this policy and the functions and values wetlands perform, the Service recommends avoiding wetland impacts. All wetlands within the project are& should be identified, and If construction in wetlands is proposed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, should be contacted for permit requirement.. They can be reached at (410) 962-3670.

GLOSSARY

allee: Defined by Webslers third New lnter-national Dictionary as '`a walk or path between two rows of formally planted trees or shrubs," and by the American Heritage Dictionary as a "path berween flower beds or trees in a garden or park." Within the discipline of landscape architecture allee has been used to connote a linear and axial design and relationship, as in the formal French gardens of Le Notre and others where an allee is used to create perspective illusions (i.e., where the entrance is larger than the terminus). For the purposes of this document, however, allee is used ill its original context to mean a passageway or path bordered by vegetation, regardless of the shape of the walkway.

cultural landscape: A geographic area, including both natural and cultural resources, associated with historic events, activities, or persons. The National Park Service recognizes four general types of cultural landscape categories: historic designed landscapes, historic vernacular land-scapes, historic sites, and ethnographic landscapes.

cumulative impacts: Those impacts on the environment that result from the incremental impacts of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions, regardless of who undertakes them. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time.

cut-and-cover construction: A construction technique for belowground construction that is the simplest and most cost-effective method. It is used for relatively shallow excavations that usually do not exceed a depth of 35' to 40'. Excavation is an open trench where the sides are either sloped back or supported by sheet-pile walls and soldier piles in confined areas.

Ellipse: The central oval open space between E Street and Constitution Avenue. It is surrounded by Ellipse Drive. The side panels of the Ellipse extend to 1 5th and 1 7th Streets.

environmental assessment: A concise public document prepared by a federal agency to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. The document contains sufficient analysis to determine whether the proposed action (1) constitutes a major action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, thereby requiring the preparation of an environmental impact statement, or (2) does not constitute such an action, resulting in a finding of no significant impact being issued by the agency.

environmental impact statement (EIS): The detailed public statement required by the National Environmental Policy Act when an agency proposes a major action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The statement includes a detailed description of the proposed action and alternatives, as well as the identification and evaluation of potential impacts that would occur from implementing the proposed action or alternatives.

Executive Committee: A committee consisting of the Icadcrship of the stewardship and oversight agencies who have congressionally chartered missions at the Whitc Housc or the surrounding park lands and city streets. It includes representatives of the Executive Office of the President, the Executive Residence at the White House, the White House Military Offcc, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Secret Service, the National Park Service, the General Services Administration, the Commission of Fine Arts, the National Capital Planning Commission, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the District of Columbia, and the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation (the latter until 1996).

finding of no significant impact (FONSI): A public document that briefly presents the reasons why an action will not have a significant impact on the human environment, and therefore, will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement.

level of service (LOS): Level of service describes the operation of a segment of road or intersection

-396-

Glossary

five is for traffic to operate at LOS D or better. In downtown areas during peak commuting times some level of congestion is both normal and inevi-table, and LOS E is often considered acceptable.

mined tunnel construction: Mined tunnels are constructed with no disruption to the surface except at periodic locations referred to as "mucking shafts" or "jacking pits," which are used to remove debris or deliver construction materials. A temporary lining is erected as the tunnel is advanced. The most common method is referred to as "jacked pipe tunnel." This technique lessens the potential for settlement to structures and surface improvements, and it is recommended in areas where pedestrian/service corridors cross below streets with major utilities or pass below structures or monuments.

preservation; The act or process of applying measures to sustain the existing form, integrity, and material of a historic structure, landscape, or object. Work may include preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property, but generally focuses on the ongoing preservation maintenance and repair of historic materials and features rather than extensive replacement and new work. For historic structures, exterior additions are not within the scope of this treatment; however, the limited and sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code-required work to make properties functional is appropriate.

President's Park: The area consisting of the White House and its immediate grounds, the Old Executive Office Building to the west of the White House, the Treasury Building to the east, Lafayette Park to the north, the First Division Monument to the southwest, Sherman Park to the southeast, and the Ellipse and its side panels to the south.

President's Park South: Generally considered to be the area south of the White House, the Old Executive Office Building, and the Treasury Building. This area includes the First Division Monument, Sherman Park, and the Ellipse, as well as its side panels.

primary views: Primary views are those seen from principal paths, streets, and observation pohits located along the main axes of the park landscape. These views may be terminated within the park by architectural munumenis and elevations or by historic park topography and vegetation, outside the park they may be terminated by distant views of architectural landmarks or by topography and vegetation. Also see secondary views.

rehabilitation: The act or process of making pos-sible an efficient, compatible use for a historic structure or landscape through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features that convey its historical, cultural, and architectural values.

restoration: The act or process of accurately de-picting the form, features, and character of a his-toric structure, landscape, or object as it appeared at a particular period of time by means of remov-ing features from other periods in its history and reconstructing missing features from the restora-tion period.

secondary views: Those views seen from paths, streets, and observation points not on the main park landscape axes. These views also may be terminated inside or outside the park by historic architecture or vegetation. Also see primary views.
