This will happen everyday with the "permit reform" bill. Obama waived S106 for the border wall; this bill will remove all opportunities for cultural resource review. 🏺 #historicpreservation #S106

SENATORS HEINRICH AND WHITEHOUSE JOIN REPUBLICANS TO
STRIP SAFEGUARDS FOR TRIBAL SACRED SITES AND AMERICA’S
HISTORIC PLACES
106 Strong Coalition, representing more than 800 Tribal Nations and organizations and 8
million Americans, calls the deal a betrayal of communities the senators pledged to defend
WASHINGTON, DC — Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
have joined Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) in releasing a
permitting bill that would make a farce of federal historic preservation law as we know it,
stripping essential protections for Tribal sacred places, burial grounds, historic neighborhoods,
and public landmarks. The bill undermines the entire purpose of historic preservation review: to
identify properties that a project could harm and to provide the public a voice. The 106 Strong
Coalition is calling on the senators to withdraw provisions that would give federal agencies and
developers greater license to damage these places while reducing public participation and
restricting remedies for unlawful approvals.
The legislation would rewrite and significantly weaken Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, the 60-year-old bipartisan law requiring federal agencies to identify historic
places, consult with Tribal Nations and affected communities, consider alternatives, and seek
ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate harm before federal undertakings move forward. The
process applies to federally permitted or funded pipelines, mines, transmission lines, data
centers, highways, and other infrastructure projects.
“Senators Heinrich and Whitehouse have condemned this Administration’s attacks on historic
places and public participation. Now they are introducing a bill that would make those attacks
easier,” said Greg Werkheiser, a partner at Cultural Heritage Partners and an organizer of the 106
Strong Coalition. “That is a betrayal of the Tribal Nations and communities they claim to
defend.”
