Section 4.10.15.8 - TYPES OF SURVEYS AND PERMITS

Surveys are conducted to identify, record, evaluate and interpret cultural properties and to relocate, update records and evaluate previously identified cultural properties including but not limited to archaeological sites, historic structures and buildings, isolates and other properties of cultural, historic and scientific interest. Management and research objectives determine the survey intensity, design and methods. Surveys may employ predictive models to assist in developing survey strategies. Geomorphological studies are helpful and suggested when there is a likelihood of deeply buried archaeological sites.

A. General permits. All surveys on state land performed under a general permit obtained pursuant to 4.10.8 NMAC shall be intensive surveys and shall be performed in conformance with 4.10.15.11 NMAC.

B. Project-specific permits. Sample, thematic and other types of surveys on state land are performed under a project-specific permit obtained pursuant to 4.10.8 NMAC and implemented in accordance with the approved research design prepared in conformance with 4.10.15.9 NMAC.
