Check with Cindy Stone at Historic Newton/Jackston Homestead. They have recently done several cemetery projects involving tombs and headstones.

As a practical matter, 40Bs take longer than 6 months under the fastest schedule
and appeals can drag on for many years ? eight in a recent case in Plymouth. So
at first glance it would appear there is nothing to prevent the owner from
timing out the delay and demolishing regardless of the 40B process. (The
thought does occur however, that if the building is within the proposed project
boundary and all permitting associated with the project becomes vested in the
ZBA then can any part of that project proceed, including an otherwise allowable
demolition, until the entire project is approved?)
Should they choose or not be able to demolish, then the Commission can comment
and the ZBA in theory should take that into account ? for instance approving
subject to retention of the building ? something which the developer can then
appeal to the state board. Once the 40B has finally been approved by the state
board and any court appeals completed, then demolition could occur if it is part
of the approved 40B scheme, regardless of any delay.
My enquiries suggests that there have been few 40Bs involving NR properties and
that most or perhaps all have been resolved by becoming ?friendly? 40Bs with the
use of local funds, usually from CPA.

Yes indeed, it does.
And it's important that you notify Mass Historical Comm of your concerns as
well. A 40B project is subject to review by MHC to determine that there is
"no adverse effect" on an historical resource from the project . They will
work with the developer to mitigate the damage, which hopefully would mean
no demolition. See the State Review section at this
link. http://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcrevcom/revcomidx.htm
Support letters to MHC from community, preservation groups, and state
elected officials as well as publicity about the importance of the
building are very helpful in strengthening MHC's position.

Greetings:
Whately's Cemetery Commission has received CPA funding to start work on
preservation of its three historic cemeteries. They are hoping that
someone who has been through the process successfully has an RFP that they
can use as the basis for theirs.
Thanks for your help.

i can't speak to the ice blasting method but i would tend to shy away from
anything similar that incorporates high pressure air or water...i have seen
demonstrations using walnut shells and borax on a small scale level at old house
conventions, not impressed...
when we need to remove paint from a component that is attached to a building, we
have had good luck with dumond chemical's peel away 6 and 7 and smart
strip...indeed, two applications are often required...apply liberally, cover
with plastic (not the expensive paper that is sold with the product) and let
set over night...rinse and repeat...the product only works when moist hence the
plastic (saran wrap, garbage bag, plastic roll, etc)...dumond claims these
products are non-toxic and biodegradable...they at pH balanced, do not require
neutralizing (peel away 1 does) and rinse clean with water...
if you plan to repaint, i would suggest removing as much paint as possible,
sanding, priming and painting...if you plan to have a clear or natural oil
finish, you may want to get used to referring to those stubborn areas of
imbedded paint as 'charming' or 'rustic'...
remember to use lead safe removal methods...

Subject: [MassHistPres] dry ice blasting for paint removal
Has anyone had experience with removing paint using the dry ice blasting
method? If so, what damage, if any, does it do to the substrate?
We have vertical tongue and grove wood sheathing on the front of a raised
stage area in a lecture hall. It is covered with multiple layers of paint
dating possibly to as early as 1857. PeelAway paint remover removes the paint
layers unevenly, peeling down to the substrate in some areas but leaving others
intact. This may be due to different types of paint applied to the area over
time. Would dry ice blast removal work better (more uniformly)? What are its
pros and cons?

However, be aware that MHC can?t intervene if there is no state or federal
funding or licensing ? and the state agency that does the actual licensing
apparently takes the position that permitting a 40B is not granting a state
license ? go figure!
Sometimes MHC only gets a handle on mitigating a 40B's adverse impart if there
is some other environmental trigger involving some other agency ? such as a
drainage issue. So, it?s important to look for such issues that can cause the
?historic? box to be ticked on an ENF.
