Both the Federal government and many state governments have enacted laws to protect cultural resources. Over a dozen major pieces of Federal preservation legislation have been enacted. In Vermont, Act 250 allows for such protection. Criterion 8 of the Act requirs consideration of any undue adverse effect on historic sites, among other things.
