Memorandum of understanding between the South Carolina Department of Commerce and the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office regarding the implementation of guidelines for cultural resource identification surveys conducted for the South Carolina Site Certification Program

Abstract

The purpose of the South Carolina Department of Commerce Site Certification Program is to identify and clarify issues pertaining to the development of a specific commercial or industrial site. To that end, the South Carolina Department of Commerce and the State Historic Preservation Office developed guidelines for collecting initial information regarding cultural resources, including historic buildings, structures, districts, objects, and archaeological sites, that may be affected by potential development at Certification Sites. Such guidelines are set forth in this document.
