Environmental Services Qualifications <br />KEY SERVICE AREAS <br />■ County of Los Angeles, Department of Water and Power - Cogswell Dam Sediment Transport Model and <br />Biological Assessment <br />Cultural Resources Management <br />Our Cultural Resources Team assists clients in preserving the <br />prehistoric and historic cultural heritages of regions undergoing <br />development. Our Archaeologists and Paleontologists conduct <br />preconstruction site assessments through literature and archival <br />record searches, field surveys and, if necessary, subsequent testing <br />and recovery programs. We conduct paleontological assessments of <br />properties to determine the potential for significant fossil remains. <br />We determine the types of sediments, their potential for containing <br />fossils and the approximate depth of the deposits, and make <br />recommendations for further work ranging from field surveys for <br />surface finds, paleontologic monitoring programs, and fossil salvage <br />plans. Mitigation monitoring of earth -moving construction activities ensures significant fossils and artifacts <br />encountered will be appropriately recorded, collected, curated, and documented in accordance with Federal <br />and State regulations, professional guidelines, and Local Government requirements and recommendations. <br />MBA also provides evaluation of cultural resource sites for inclusion on national, California, and local registers. <br />Our evaluations for historic resources typically include archival research, in -field evaluation, and <br />comprehensive reporting detail of findings and offer recommendations for site mitigation, if required. For <br />prehistoric resources, our evaluations include consultation with the Native American Heritage Commission and <br />local, concerned, Native American tribal representatives. Following our field surveys, our team determines the <br />best course of action to protect sensitive prehistoric resources including burial sites, religious sites, artifacts, <br />and traditionally valued plants and animals. <br />The efforts of our Cultural Resources team ensures these nonrenewable resources are saved for future <br />scientific study and public education.
