Archaeology & Cultural Resource Management
With more than 30 years of experience in cultural & environmental resource management, we’ve developed the means to shed light on black box challenges. Tremaine’s study of surface and buried landscapes examine a property’s use-history to assess its cultural & biological data potential for integrity, and development of resource expectations if necessary for field testing.
Subsurface
Investigation
Tremaine’s patented and copyrighted approach first defines a project area’s geological, hydrological & anthropogenic contexts for resources. When warranted by both evidence and development plans, we test our expectations using a mixed strategy of eyes-on survey, remote sensing methods, and, where warranted, limited downhole sampling, depending on project requirements. The entire effort is designed to be a minimally invasive and often nondestructive means to interrogate an area for cultural and biological resources.
Biological & Environmental Services
At Tremaine, we specialize in comprehensive preconstruction surveys and assessments for state and federally listed species in compliance with CEQA, NEPA, and regulatory agency permit conditions. Our experienced biologists conduct habitat evaluations, species-specific protocol surveys, and clearance monitoring to ensure full regulatory compliance before ground-disturbing activities begin. We work closely with Caltrans, CDFW, USFWS, and project proponents to minimize environmental impact and prevent costly construction delays.
