Services

Circle CRM Group has extensive experience in providing the following list of services. If you are unsure of the services you may require, please call or email us with the details of your development.

• Historical Resources Act Clearance Applications

  If Circle CRM Group deems a project to be of very low potential for the presence of, or impact to, intact historical resources, we can submit an application form for Historical Resources Act clearance.

• Historic Resources Overviews / Statements of Justification

  If the potential for archaeology is ambiguous, a desktop assessment can be conducted; this will result in a Statement of Justification recommending either Historical Resources Act clearance or an Historic Resources Impact Assessment.

• Historic Resources Impact Assessments

  When a project is deemed to have high potential for intact historical resources, a field assessment will determine the presence and/or extent of any cultural material that exists within development boundaries. If such resources are deemed to be of historic resource significance and are under threat of impact, avoidance or further work will be recommended. If avoidance is not practical, the developer can opt for Circle CRM Group to conduct an Historic Resources Impact Mitigation.

• Historic Resources Impact Mitigations

  Upon the approval of recommendations for further work, mitigation becomes necessary when cultural resources are under threat of impact. Mitigative investigations involve controlled excavations that detail and record past occupations, and, depending on the extent of the recovered material, can result in further mitigative work or Historical Resources Act clearance.

• Construction Monitoring and Post-Impact Assessments

  On rare occasions, construction monitoring can be used to assess potential impact to known historical resources that could not be assessed with the above methodologies. If monitoring is not practical, a post-impact assessment can determine the extent of remaining cultural material after construction is complete. These processes are not favourable, as construction activities can completely destroy historical resource sites.
