Cultural Resources Survey Broadband Infrastructure Project
ESE Partners provided Cultural Resources Services for the western segment of a ~319-mile fiber communications line spanning from Patricia to El Paso, Texas. The project required coordination across multiple state and federal agencies—including TxDOT, USACE, NPS, THC, and NTIA—and was conducted under Texas Antiquities Committee Permit No. 31976. Following extensive fieldwork and compliance with NHPA, NEPA, and THC/CTA survey standards, ESE’s Phase I survey confirmed the project could move forward without adverse impacts to cultural resources, provided monitoring was maintained in sensitive areas. This effort not only exceeded regulatory requirements but also ensured the fiber line could proceed responsibly, preserving Texas’ cultural heritage while enabling critical infrastructure development.

Cultural Resources Survey
ESE Partners recently conducted intensive mechanically augmented cultural resources survey of the 1,310.35-Acre 560-Hectare tract in Waller County, Texas. The Client was proposing to construct a mixed use development under a Municipal Utility District. Prior to the designation of the district by the state legislature, ESE conducted a full Reconnaissance Survey and a 20-percent Cultural Resources Survey for the purposes of due diligence and cost analysis in March of 2022. This limited survey allowed ESE to identify disturbed areas which would be omitted from future survey effort.
