How did the Division Engineer consider the impacts of this project upon Native Americans?
He carefully considered the potential impacts of this project upon the culture and the economy of the Mattaponi, Upper Mattaponi and Pamunkey tribes. He determined that the permit application decision complied with Executive Order No. 12898 of February 11, 1994, “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations”. A programmatic agreement pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act signed on June 2005 among the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Commonwealth of Virginia State Historic Preservation Officer, the Federal Advisory Counsel for Historic Preservation, and the City of Newport News sets forth procedures and standards to address historic and cultural resource matters, including Traditional Cultural Properties.
