Archaeology and Historic Properties

Did you get a letter from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for your project?  Big Pine Consultants LLC is here to help!  Even if you haven’t gotten a letter yet, if you need to consult with SHPO to address state, federal, or permit requirements you need a team with the knowledge and experience to help you address the requirements.  Let us be your partner to address Archaeology and Historic Properties on your project!

Big Pine’s cultural resources management (CRM) professionals offer expertise in archaeology and historic architecture, complementing our environmental permitting services and streamlining your project needs. Our team can help you effectively navigate Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as well as assist with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance (required for projects that require federal funding or a federal permit such as FERC certificate of public convenience and necessity or an Army Corps of Engineers permit for streams and wetlands). We can expertly facilitate consultation with local, state, and federal agencies, as well as Native American Tribes and Nations.
