Resource Assessment
Programs
Biological Science
Biological and zoological resources -- plants, reptiles, amphibians, fish,
birds, mammals -- ecology and habitat are the concerns of the
Biological Science Division, contracting with government agencies, local
agencies, and private concerns to perform assessments and mitigate potentially
adverse impacts to biological resources.
- Species counts and life histories
- Field assessments
- Reports
- Endangered and threatened species evaluations

 Paleontology
The Geological Sciences Division provides paleontological
assessments, excavation monitoring, salvage collecting, and associated curation,
preservation, and storage functions for non-renewable fossil resources. With
nearly 20 years of experience, the program has salvaged hundreds of thousands
of irreplaceable fossil specimens and preserved them in trust for coming generations,
all without impacting development schedules.
- Field survey and assessment
- Excavation monitoring and salvage
- Preservation and conservation of specimens
- Identification and curation
- Storage. The San Bernardino County Museum
is a recognized repository for the permanent storage
of specimens from public lands.

RPLI
The Regional Paleontologic Locality Inventory houses records, maps, reports,
photographs, and field notes relative to more than 3,000 paleontologic sites
in inland Southern California. Records are maintained for San Bernardino County,
Riverside County, and surrounding Imperial, Kern, Inyo, and Los Angeles counties,
as well as neighboring areas in western Nevada and Arizona. RPLI provides literature
and records searches for agencies and developers, gathering data upon which
to make informed decisions about mitigation of impacts to non-renewable resources.

CHRIS (AIC)
The California Historic Research Information System (Archaeological
Information Center) provides current archaeological, historical, and historic
architectural information
- to qualified archaeologists and Federal and State agencies for surveys,
excavations and research
- to planning departments for environmental decisions
- to students for research
- to landowners with proper identification
- to historians for research
- to historic architects and architectural historians for surveys and research
The AIC gathers data and makes recommendations for cultural resource work based
on existing Federal and State law, and reviews the resulting reports for accuracy.
The AIC also instructs students and societies on how to fill out and submit
site records and forms, how to map sites, and how to read topographic maps.
