Cultural Resource Management
Cultural Resource Reviews can be an unaccounted reality in many of your projects. Bolton & Menk’s Cultural Resource Management Team understands the types of projects and funding sources that trigger these reviews. Our team will work with you to determine the necessary type of review and assist with the complex approval process that can sometimes be involved with a project.
The purpose of a Cultural Resource Review is to gain an understanding of what is present within the project area and whether any of the archaeological sites, historic buildings and structures, or traditional cultural properties are of significance or may be impacted by the project. These reviews can reduce your risk and exposure to liability. Federal and state laws protect cultural resources, especially if one knowingly destroys such a finite resource.

- Archaeological Surveys (State and Federal, Phases I, II, and III)
