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-

and evaluating local and regional paleontological resources
in support of the National Natural Landmark (NNL) program.

dustrial and power generation and disaster planning and relief
