EXPERIENCEDURS provides an extensive range of services to identify, assess

and manage cultural resources. We work with commercial, in-

dustrial and government entities to identify resources, assess

impacts, avoid or minimize adverse effects and achieve project

success criteria through planning and management strategies.

The strengths of our archaeologists, architectural historians

and paleontologists lie in their broad experience and technical

expertise to carry out activities such as resource inventories,

evaluations, data recovery, construction monitoring, regulatory

permitting and NHPA, NEPA, and CEQA compliance. In addition,

our Cultural Resources Team has successfully generated envi-

ronmental document sections (AFC, EA/EIR/EIS/LEIS, IS/ND/

MND, FONSI), management documents (HPMP, HPTP, CRMMP,

ICRMP) and agreement documents (MOU, MOA, PA, NAGPRA

POA/CA), as well as their respective supporting technical re-

ports. For both large and small projects, our clients benefit

from our depth of resources, technical expertise and timely

response.

EXPERTURS archaeologists and architectural historians possess con-

siderable experience in the identification and evaluation of his-

toric properties, and analysis of effects in support of Section

106 of the NHPA, NEPA, and CEQA. Similarly, URS paleontolo-

gists have extensive knowledge of and practice identifying

and evaluating local and regional paleontological resources

in support of the National Natural Landmark (NNL) program.

We provide services to evaluate the environmental impacts of

transportation infrastructure, redevelopment, public utility, in-

dustrial and power generation and disaster planning and relief

projects.
