How will environmental studies affect my property, either physically or financially?
For the most part, environmental studies consist primarily of observations (specialists looking at the site), although minor ground disturbances created by shovel or hand trowel may be required, for instance, for cultural resources studies. In that case, any holes would be filled and compacted immediately. If major ground disturbance is necessary (for paleontological or archaeological excavations), rights-of-entry permits will be negotiated specific to the work necessary, and potential property damage and compensation will be addressed within that permit.
