Although one would hope that the Standards and NHPA would protect historic
properties affected by federal undertakings, all too often the result is "D&D
preservation" -- document and destroy. Memorandums of agreement, in my
experience, are notoriously uncreative when it comes to mitigation and
sensitive treatment of historic resources.
