Question
Are there NRHP-listed or eligible historic structures, districts or landscapes in or near the Brook Hollow Solar study area?
Missing evidence
Historic architecture survey or NRHP/state inventory review.
Consequence
Section 106 or SHPO review scope, visual mitigation and schedule exposure cannot be determined.
Information request
Provide any historic architecture survey, SHPO correspondence or NRHP/state inventory review for the site, or authorize a desktop review.
Blocks the decision
No
Revision
Not revised.
The five inputs
Present: unknown
No claim addresses listed or eligible historic properties in or near the study area. The only related claim (C-18f20d1141) notes a farm debris pile near a Parcel 12 barn; it says nothing about historic status or eligibility. Silence is not absence.
No historic properties are documented, so their position relative to the site is unknown.
Cites no claim.
Avoidable: unknown
Avoidability cannot be judged without documented historic properties.
Cites no claim.
Pathway: none
Placeholder because presence is unknown.
Cites no claim.
Impact likely: no
Placeholder because presence is unknown.
Cites no claim.
Comments
No historic architecture survey or NRHP review is included in the data room. Presence of listed or eligible historic properties, including any associated with the Parcel 12 barn, is not addressed. A state inventory and NRHP database review would settle it.
Critique
Verdict
upheld
Suggested direction for the rating

Summary
Abstention is correct. The only cited claim is silent on historic status, and no uncited claims contradict it. The agency is right. Minor gaps: no mention of the conditional federal-nexus trigger for Section 106, and the placeholder inputs could be worded more clearly.

Issues
Severity minor · Kind missing_next_step
The next steps omit two items. Section 106 applies only with a federal nexus, such as a 404 permit. The assessment should say it applies conditionally, per F-NHPA106, and recommend confirming whether a federal nexus exists. It should also suggest a field check of the Parcel 12 barn's age and character, because the barn is the only structure mentioned. This is a minor omission.
The placeholder inputs pathway=none and impact_likely=no could be read as findings of no impact. They are labeled as placeholders and the category is Unknown, so this is only a wording risk. Marking them as not assessed would be clearer.

SHPO review; Section 106 consultation if a federal nexus exists; DNR Archaeology Plan/Permit for state-land or discovered human remains
S-06 · Indiana DNR Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (SHPO)
Applicability
Conditional
Instrument
IC 14-21-1 Historic Preservation and Archaeology Act, state permit
Trigger
Federal nexus (e.g. 404 permit) or discovery of burials/archaeological artifacts
Description
No general state review for private land without a state or federal nexus, but SHPO consultation is triggered through federal permits. Inadvertent discovery of human remains or burials requires DNR notification under IC 14-21-1.
As of the cut-off
As of 2023-08-15. Federal nexus is missing from the project facts.
Comments
No historic architecture survey or NRHP review is included in the data room. Presence of listed or eligible historic properties, including any associated with the Parcel 12 barn, is not addressed. A state inventory and NRHP database review would settle it.
