Cultural and/or historic resource review is typically a “non-scope” consideration in a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), and is an often-overlooked aspect of land development. Failure to identify such issues before a development project is underway can have devastating consequences to the timing, budget and even viability of a project. Thus, when asked to evaluate these issues, the Environmental Professional must be prepared to obtain and review readily available information from state and local authorities on historical, cultural and archeological resources, and offer guidance to the client as to how such resources may impact the client’s future intended use of the subject property. It may also be necessary to go beyond the Phase I ESA and recommend a formal archeological Phase IA survey or other assessment, and/or obtain development approval from federal, state and local authorities, or native tribes. Use of government funding (particularly federal funds) on a project can also implicate additional levels of review and approval. Attend this timely webinar with our expert panel, including the Chief Archaeologist of the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office (IHPA), and avoid being surprised by these important development considerations!
Pre-registration is required.
Refunds are allowed with cancellation 48 hours prior to the webinar.
