Cultural Resource Management Plans
Essential cultural resource master plans for short- and long-term protection and management.
A fully-developed CRM plan is key to successful cultural resource maintenance and development. Our clients have found our Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plans (ICRMPs) and Historic Property Management Plans (HPMPs) to be useful guides that are effective and long-lasting—some client plans have been used for 20+ years.
PAL prepares ICRMPs/HPMPs to assist federal, state, and local agencies—as well as private companies—in the management and protection of cultural resources. Created with practicality, longevity, and regulatory compliance in mind, our plans have proven to be integral pieces of environmental documents and master plans.
Plans often include:
An inventory of cultural resources with their current condition and National/State register status
Practical means for compliance with federal, state, and local laws
A land- and building-use guide for programs that could affect cultural resources
Operational and preservation goals and priorities
A framework for further survey and evaluation & schedule for the implementation of plan activities
An action plan for dealing with unanticipated events/discoveries
PAL provides clients with the management framework needed to maintain resources and strategize for the future.
Collaboration with Stakeholders
To ensure that the appropriate individuals and entities are consulted, ICRMPs/HPMPs are often developed with involvement from a variety of stakeholders and interested parties, including: local community groups, Native nations and Tribes, private citizens, and regulators.
