20. Historic Preservation
Departments/agencies handle historic preservation and archaeology differently depending on their mission
Mission depends on legislative mandate
So, agencies that manage land have different procedures than those that mainly issue licenses or grant permits
Managing land imposes different legal obligations on an agency than issuing a license or permit
Can you think of an example?
