Cultural Resources Planning

Fort Benning

CSRM developed an ICRMP for Fort Benning in Georgia in compliance with regulations. For this document, CSRM developed an interactive DVD that brings together all of the relevant background information in just a click. Sensitive information, such as the location of important cultural resources, are password-protected, so as to allow only those authorized to view the maps.

Approach

Building on the award-winning cultural resource management program at Fort Benning, CSRM identified several components that could be strengthened:

• Mapped cultural resource management zones. The zones incorporate existing survey data into a user-friendly and transparent tool.
• Developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) and compliance requirements. SOPs are recurring activities for routine management actions. When a situation arises, the cultural resource manager and staff can check the SOPs to determine the appropriate course of action, ensuring that consistent and appropriate steps are taken.
• Created monitoring component to measure the condition of the cultural resource and the effectiveness of the management practices. The monitoring is scaled between compliance with the zones to the individual sites and artifacts.
