Impact Assessment and Mitigation Plans

• Assess impacts of projects to archaeological sites, usually when a mitigation plan is prepared
  
• Prepare mitigation plans (typically as part of an archaeological testing report) specifying how the research values of an archaeological site will be preserved through data recovery when site preservation or avoidance are not viable alternatives
  
• Include a research design that addresses research issues, presents historic contexts and research questions, and estimates the necessary level of effort
  
• Insure that plans are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's handbook, Treatment of Archaeological Properties
