Archaeological Sensitivity Modeling at China Lake

In 2015, SRI was subcontracted by MIRADOR to develop and test for U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) an approach to meeting DoD’s National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, California. The project’s main goal was to leverage existing data to predict the location of archaeological sites and buried cultural deposits on the Station in order to provide managers and stakeholders...

Playa Vista Archaeological and Historical Project

The Playa Vista Archaeological and Historical Project is located near Marina del Rey in west Los Angeles. The project area, one of the largest residential and commercial developments in the nation, surrounds the Ballona Lagoon, formerly a rich estuarine environment fed by Ballona and Centinela Creeks. This area was a magnet for human settlement for thousands of years, drawing prehistoric, historical-period, and modern populations who left a rich and varied archaeological record. It would be...

SRI was retained to perform geoarchaeological investigations to identify buried archaeological sites in the project area of potential effects (APE) and to review and revise the Class III...

Reach V Brine Line Rehabilitation Project

SRI conducted a cultural resources study in support of the Reach V Brine Line Rehabilitation Project between 2014 and 2017. The project included three segments, totaling approximately 12.9 km of existing pipeline in Temescal Canyon, Riverside County, California. The project consisted of a records search and literature review of all previously conducted cultural resource studies and previously recorded cultural resources within one-quarter mile of the project area and a buried-sites testing...

Fence Lake Project

SRI was the cultural resource management consultant for data recovery at 16 prehistoric and historical-period archaeological sites located in the Fence Lake Coal Mine (FLCM) project area and along the New Mexico Transportation Corridor. SRI rose to the challenges posed by a complicated project with multiple stakeholders, permitting requirements, and logistical needs. The proposed FLCM was to have been a 17,600-acre surface coal mine in Catron and Cibola Counties. The FLCM would have connected...

Archaeological Site Modeling at San Clemente Island

SRI was contracted by TEC-GMI Joint Venture to develop, for Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest, a series of models predicting the location and significance of prehistoric archaeological sites on San Clemente Island (SCLI). The project will develop a locational model intended to provide the U.S. Navy with an objective assessment of where archaeological sites are likely to be located on areas of the island that have not been or cannot be inventoried. Additionally, SRI will develop a...

Historic Preservation Services, Barry M. Goldwater Range, Luke AFB, Arizona

SRI became the prime contractor for the Luke Air Force Base (AFB) Barry M.

The BMGR, which extends from the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in the south to Interstate 8 near Gila Bend in the north, and from the Tohono O’odham Reservation to Yuma on the west, contains three tactical...

Sempra Energy and Southern California Gas Cultural Resource Screening System

SRI was selected in 2010 to create a digital geographic information systems (GIS) regional screening tool for assessing impacts on cultural resources throughout Southern California. San Diego Gas and Electric, SoCal Gas, and parent company Sempra Energy chose SRI because of our unique qualifications as a firm with nationally recognized expertise in both GIS and cultural resource management (CRM). SRI produced a comprehensive GIS database and tool for Sempra—on time and within budget—to assist...
