BLM-Nevada Tasks GeomorphIS Team to Conduct Buena Vista Cultural Resources Inventory

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has tasked GeomorphIS and team member G2 Archaeology to conduct a Class III (intensive) cultural resources inventory of the parcels within the BLM’s Winnemucca District. This inventory is being completed to comply with the National Historic Preservation Act. The purpose of the inventory is to serve as a multi-state contract to provide the BLM with intensive archaeological field inventories for large scale projects, such as emergency stabilization and rehabilitation (ESR) projects post fire events, within the states on Idaho, Nevada and Utah. The inventories will be used to partially fulfill BLM’s obligations under the NHPA, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The surveys will allow BLM to meet a compressed schedule for emergency stabilization and rehabilitation projects, fuels treatment projects, and other large scale projects requiring field inventory.
