Cultural and Natural Resources: An Integrated Management Strategy
Honolulu, HI - March 22-23, 2010
in cooperation with the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Division and
the Historic Preservation Program, University of Hawaii

Explore a holistic stewardship approach to an integrated management strategy for cultural and natural resources on public and private lands. These resources often are analyzed and planned for independently, leading to isolated approaches. Through case studies, discuss and evaluate long-term planning and decision making processes that combine legal and management frameworks to better conserve and preserve the core values of these resources. An agenda is available online at www.npi.org.

CERCLA and NHPA Coordination for Superfund Sites

the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Division and
the Historic Preservation Program, University of Hawaii

Identify opportunities to coordinate Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) responses at Superfund remediation sites that may include cultural sites or be a historic property. Focus on how to anticipate and plan for incorporation of the Section 106 process into project management and community consultation. Learn how to determine if NHPA applies, evaluate the use of feasibility studies and risk assessments, and discuss the conclusion and resolution of the process. An agenda is available online at www.npi.org.
