COMPLIANCE SERVICES
CCRG offers its clients a full range of federal, state, and local compliance services designed to guide projects through the requirements of environmental and cultural resources regulations and legal mandates. Clients benefit from our staff's thorough experience in designing projects with an eye toward timely and successful agency review. Project design incorporates review agency consultation, thorough compliance documentation, and public information dissemination. A sample of CCRG's compliance services includes:

Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements
Many cultural resources projects are only one aspect of much larger, more complex projects. These larger projects require equally complex environmental documents, of which cultural resources are a part. CCRG's project administrators and technicians successfully work with project teams to produce documents such as environmental assessments and environmental impact statements mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Department of Transportation Section 4(f) Documentation
Transportation projects often require thorough cultural resources documentation, including alternatives analyses, impact assessments, and mitigation measures. CCRG routinely offers this specialized service for transportation projects.

Public Meeting Participation
CCRG offers its clients customized public presentations for use in Section 106 and NEPA-required public meetings. Presentations are designed to assist planning efforts by clearly communicating project effects to historic properties, gaining public cooperation, and eliciting valuable comments.

Native American Consultation
Cultural resources projects sometimes require trained and experienced anthropologists to consult with Native American groups to design cultural resources projects that are sensitive to Native American concerns. With recent legislation, Native American consultation has become an increasingly important component of many CCRG projects. Not all projects require Native American consultation; however, CCRG offers this service and can determine when it is legally necessary.

Review Agency Consultation
Our administrative, technical, and support teams fully understand the importance of early planning to successful project performance. As a matter of routine, CCRG staff designs and implements projects in consultation with State Historic Preservation Offices and other review agencies to ensure expedient project clearance.

Case Reports
As required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation must have the opportunity to comment on federally funded projects that might affect cultural resources. CCRG's staff is expert in preparing the reports used by the Advisory Council for their review.

Agreement Documents
Clients are often required to document how they will mitigate or avoid project impacts or manage cultural resources under their stewardship. Our administrative team is experienced in all facets of preparing agreement documents, including consulting with review agencies and authoring highly specialized documents such as memorandums of agreement, programmatic agreements, and cultural resources management plans.
