1. Storage and protection of existing historic materials.

2. Temporary protection of historic materials during construction.

3. Protection during application of chemicals.

4. Protection during use of heat-generating equipment.

5. Historic preservation treatment procedures.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. "Preservation": To apply measures n eces s a ry t o sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of a historic property. Work may include preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property.

B. "Rehabilitation": To make possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features that convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values.

C. "Restoration": To accurately return the form, features, and character of a property to its appearance at a particular period of time by means of the removal of features from other periods in its history and the repair and reconstruction of missing and deteriorated features from the restoration period.

D. "Reconstruction": To reproduce in the exact form and detail a building, structure, or artifact as it appeared at a specific period in time. Reconstructed elements do not possess historic integrity in their own right since it is not original fabric.

E. "Stabilize": To apply measures designed to reestablish a weather-resistant enclosure and the structural reinforcement of an item or portion of the building while maintaining the essential form as it exists at present. This level of intervention is aimed at retarding or arresting adverse impacts to structures.

F. "Protect and Maintain": To remove deteriorating corrosion, reapply protective coatings, and install protective measures such as temporary guards; to provide the least degree of intervention.

G. "Repair": To stabilize, consolidate, or conserve; to retain existing materials and features while employing as little new material as possible. Repair includes

Within restoration, repair also includes limited replacement in kind, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, with compatible substitute materials for deteriorated or missing parts of features when there are surviving prototypes.

H. "Replace": To duplicate in its entirety a historic element or feature by matching its historic pattern, detail and appearance. Replacement is justified when original or historic elements are damaged beyond repair or are missing.

Replacement methods include the following conditions:

1. Replacement with Original or Historic Fabric: Includes fabric salvaged from other locations or projects having identical architectural qualities.

It means duplication of appearance using identical material possessing historical significance.

2. Replacement with New Materials: Includes replacement with new material of like kind (custom fabricated of manufactured) that is currently in production. It means duplication of appearance using like material.

3. Replacement with Substitute Materials: Includes replacement with a compatible substitute that is frequently contemporary and unlike the historic fabric. It means duplication o f appearance u s i n g modern ( non-traditional) m a t e r i a l . Use of substitute materials is not approved unless matching materials are not available.

I. "Remove": To demolish or detach items from existing construction and legally dispose of them off-site unless indicated to be removed and salvaged or removed and reinstalled.
