So, now what?

• In order for the DHR to uphold our review responsibilities we request that an applicant submit a
• Request for Project Review (RPR) Form.
• That form and a manual can be found on the Division’s website:
• www.nh.gov/nhdhr

What happens next?

• After information is presented to DHR, the review process begins.
• The DHR has 30 days to respond.
• If the DHR does not have enough information to make an informed decision, a request will be made to provide additional documentation on the proposed undertaking and or project area.

Remember !

Historical Resources are non-renewable and endangered resources. When they are lost, they are lost forever!
