Energy
We offer a variety of cultural resource management services to clients involved in energy sector planning, installation, and maintenance.
PAL appreciates that utilities, electric, gas, sewer, and water are vital infrastructure elements with ever-changing regulations and requirements. We provide services to help our energy sector clients meet federal, state, and municipal regulations that require an assessment of impacts on cultural resources. We conduct surveys early in project planning to assist our clients in considering avoidance, preservation, and mitigation options, and to ensure a smooth permitting process.
Our clients range from individual landowners building new homes or installing utilities, to municipal agencies improving citywide sewer and water systems, and large multinational corporations installing major wind farms, solar centers, interstate natural gas transmission projects, oil pipelines, electrical transmission lines, and fiber optic cable.
Services include:
Defining Areas of Potential Effects (APEs)
Archaeological and historic architectural surveys
Project impact assessments
Development of avoidance and mitigation strategies
Monitoring installations
Federal, state, and local cultural resource permitting
