Staff at this office will review information on the NWIC's maps and in its files and databases based on a project description and a boundary defined and submitted to the NWIC by the Agency. Due to processing delays and other factors, not all of the historical resource reports and resource records that have been submitted to the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) are available via this records search. Additional information may be available through the federal, state, and local agencies that produced or paid for historical resource management work in the search area. Additionally, Native American tribes have historical resource information not in the CHRIS Inventory, and the Agency should contact the California Native American Heritage Commission for information on locallregional tribal contacts.

In addition, the Agency agrees that access by Agency personnel to this information should be on a need -to -know basis. This agreement will be in effect until December 31, 2021.
