MAC has operated cultural resource management offices in Colorado for more than 30 years, conducting projects ranging from large-scale pipeline and seismic projects to smaller well pads and access roads. In every project, no matter the size, we strive to provide good value to our clients by completing projects in a timely and efficient manner.

Here are some of the numerous projects that MAC has conducted based out of our Colorado offices:

MAC provided cultural compliance services for a seismic study covering over 1000 acres in San Juan County, Utah. During MAC's survey more than 100 sites were located and recorded. Despite the large number of sites, we were able to achieve complete avoidance of all archaeological sites by moving the location of source points and rerouting access. The project area was split between federal and state lands, so we worked with the necessary agencies to ensure that cultural compliance requirements were met.

MAC provided Level II documentation of a historic water siphon located near Boulder, Colorado. This documentation was required by the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office because the client was planning on removing the historic feature and replacing it with a buried siphon. MAC provided historic architectural services to ensure that the siphon was properly documented and that all necessary federal and state regulations were met.
