| (-h-) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate,
shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments
that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used.
(-i-) Archeological resources affected by a project
shall be protected and preserved in place to the extent possible.
If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be
undertaken.
(-j-) Designs that were never executed historically
shall not be constructed.
(III) Standards for reconstruction
(-a-) Reconstruction shall be used to depict vanished
or non-surviving portions of a property when documentary and physical
evidence is available to permit accurate reconstruction with minimal
conjecture, and such reconstruction is essential to the public understanding
of the property.
(-b-) Reconstruction of a landscape, building, structure,
or object in its historic location shall be preceded by a thorough
archeological investigation to identify and evaluate those features
and artifacts which are essential to an accurate reconstruction. If
such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
(-c-) Reconstruction shall include measures to preserve
any remaining historic materials, features, and spatial relationships.
(-d-) Reconstruction shall be based on the accurate
duplication of historic features and elements substantiated by documentary
or physical evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability
of different features from other historic properties. A reconstructed
property shall re-create the appearance of the non-surviving historic
property in materials, design, color, and texture.
(-e-) A reconstruction shall be clearly identified
as a contemporary re-creation.
(-f-) Designs that were never executed historically
shall not be constructed.
