 INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 1.
1.1 PURPOSE AND RESPONSIBILITY. The purpose of this manual is to
provide a working awareness of historic preservation policies and
procedures to be followed by U.S. Navy activities. The primary
focus is to provide Navy Public Works personnel with the
necessary information for properly identifying, preserving, and
maintaining historic resources. This manual will provide
guidance on statutes, laws, and regulations from federal and
state offices, attempting to coordinate the sometimes confusing

This information should be used as a guide for appropriate

Officers, PWCs and PWDs develop appropriate plans for maintenance
of historic resources and provide documentation for alteration or
disposal of these resources. PWCs and PWDs must be knowledgeable
