#106 #archaeology #historicpreservation #trumparch 🏺This morning ACHP terminated S106 for the Arch in DC. This was accompanied by a lengthy summary of the findings of the adverse effects. I'll try to post, as well as get my hands on and share the actual letter.

From: Reid Nelson <rnelson@achp.gov>
Date: Thu, Sep 24, 2026 at 9:51 AM
Subject: ACHP Termination of Section 106 Consultation on Triumphal Arch Project, Washington, DC and Virginia
To: councilmembers2026 <councilmembers2026@achp.gov>
ACHP Members,
Moments ago, Vice Chairman Voyles terminated Section 106 consultation pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.7(a)(1) for the Triumphal Arch Project in Washington, DC and Virginia. The rationale for his decision can be found in the attached correspondence. Pursuant to Section 800.7(c) of the regulations the ACHP is obligated to provide its comment within 45 days, however, Vice Chairman Voyles has stated his intent to do so by October 7, 2026. Outlined below is a brief summary of the undertaking and relevant issues.

In accordance with the ACHP’s Operating Procedures at Section V.B.2.c.ii and to meet this abbreviated comment period, Vice Chairman Voyles has chosen to address this termination through the development of a Vice Chairman comment letter. Consistent with those procedures, a draft of the letter will be shared with the members for their review and input prior to being finalized. We intend to circulate a draft letter to the members for their review on Monday, October 5, with comments requested by noon ET on Tuesday, October 6.

In the meantime, should members have any questions regarding this project and next steps, please contact me or Jaime Loichinger, OFAP Director, copied here.

Reid Nelson
Executive Director

Interview invite: Absent Without Leave on AFK M94.5
Dear Rachel Grant,

I hope you are well.

I am Riley Clerk from Bookara Circle Book Club. We are partnering with AFK M94.5 to invite select authors for a recorded interview feature.

I recently came across Absent Without Leave and was immediately drawn to its place as the fifth and final book in your Evidence: Under Fire series. As a USA Today bestselling author and a former professional archaeologist, your ability to weave together archaeology, military action, and romance has captivated readers across the series. I believe your perspective on concluding this arc and the journey of writing this final installment would make for a wonderful conversation.

What the feature includes:

20-minute pre-recorded interview
Broadcast on AFK M94.5
Editorial coverage via USA Wire
Professionally edited audio files for your use
Promotion to our literary community
No fee. It is completely free.
