Purpose
Historical research and investigations conducted with locally available resources generally miss the abundance of historic information stored at national and regional record repositories. We specialize in locating and gathering pertinent site-specific historical documents, maps, aerial imagery,
still pictures and
film, as well as collecting historic munitions
data and training manuals. The focus is on identifying locations, sources, and quantities of items of concern. Analysis of this information, along with interviews and visual site inspections, allows for a comprehensive assessment of the site prior to conducting CERCLA Site Investigations
(SI) and Remedial Investigations / Feasibility Studies (RI/FS).
