The Circa, Inc. team has extensive experience with state and federal historic preservation regulations, particularly as these laws pertain to the telecommunications and transportation industries. We guide our clients through complex review processes, advise them on how these regulations may impact their projects, and provide the guidance they need to meet their compliance requirements in a timely and efficient manner. With our in-house GIS, we now offer improved mapping and data-integration capabilities.

Telecommunications Projects

We provide a full range of cultural resource investigations required by NEPA, Section 106, and the FCC Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA). Since the passage of the NPA in 2005, we have prepared over one-hundred FCC 620/621 forms for the telecommunications industry. Circa’s professional staff meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards. Senior Architectural Historian Ellen Turco serves as the liaison between the American Cultural Resources Association and the FCC.

Transportation Projects

Circa conducts Phase I and II Historic Structures Surveys to identify and evaluate historic resources within a transportation project’s area of potential effect. Circa is certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, and is a prequalified consultant for the Departments of Transportation in those states.
