In accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act, the U.S. military initiated Section 106 consultation in 2013 to determine the potential effects of the proposed action on historic properties and encouraged governmental agencies, private-sector organizations, and the general public to participate in the Section 106 process. A Section 106 meeting was held during each public scoping meeting at a separate area in each location. A Section 106 meeting was also held at each Draft EIS/OEIS public meeting where participants had an opportunity to learn about the National Historic Preservation Act and participate in the Section 106 process.
