Cultural Resources Management

BonTerra Consulting offers Cultural Resources Management (CRM) as part of its broad base of environmental services. The CRM services include expert cultural resources field surveys; property assessments; test and data recovery excavations to evaluate and mitigate the adverse effects of projects on archaeological sites; and construction monitoring to comply with mitigation requirements. Also provided are non-survey constraints analyses/due diligence studies for properties under consideration for purchase and development; coordination with reviewing agencies at the local, State, and federal levels; and Native American scoping and consultation. In addition, services in the related disciplines of architectural history (e.g., buildings, bridges) and paleontology (fossil resources) are available through highly qualified associates. BonTerra Consulting’s CRM services and products are designed to meet the requirements of CEQA, NEPA, and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The Division of CRM Services is headed by a Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA) who is qualified under federal standards set by the Secretary of the Interior for professional archaeological investigations.
