In evaluating applications for acquisition funding, an important consideration is
the appropriateness of the size of the site to be acquired. Determinations of the

depend on the characteristics for which the property is considered to be
significant. Sufficient property should be acquired to assure that the historic
relationship of a structure or archaeological site to its surrounding environment is
preserved. However, it is important that no more property than is necessary to
achieve established preservation objectives be included in the acquisition project
