TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 542: Evaluating Cultural Resource Significance: Implementation Tools examines information technology (IT) tools that are designed to improve and streamline the National Register evaluation of cultural resources. The report highlights IT prototype tools that include a searchable database of historic contexts and a collection of National Register evaluation documents. The second prototype provides an explicit, but flexible tool designed to improve the National Register eligibility determinations.

A practical approach to wetland restoration Can wetland restoration be successful? Tracing over two decades of progress in wetland restoration, the authors of this book come back with an affirmative, resounding "Yes." They draw on lessons learned in four long-term restoration projects from Florida, Wisconsin, Colorado, and California to clearly demonstrate how to achieve success in diverse regions and reverse wetland losses of the last two centuries. This pragmatic, goal-oriented approach avoids the polarization that typically characterizes the subject, while offering a wealth of useful technical information. Key public policy issues surrounding wetland restoration today as well as future directions are also thoroughly examined. A timely, indispensable resource for engineers, scientists, and professionals involved in wetland restoration and floodplain and wetland management, A Case for Wetland Restoration: llustrates the importance of wetlands and wetland restoration Debunks the notion that wetlands can't be successfully restored Describes the shift in federal public policy from the destruction to the restoration of wetlands Explains how Section 404 of the Clean Water Act has worked in the interest of the environment Analyzes landmark projects with sufficient history to yield reliable lessons

In the fall of 1986 an archaeological resource assessment project was carried out at the Indian Point site, located at MacEacherns Point, Northumberland County, to determine how much of the resource was still left uneroded above the shore bank, the cultural/temporal placement this resource would occupy in the prehistory of the region, and the present and future threat to the resource. The fieldwork was carried out from September 22-26 and from October 14-16, 1986. This report gives a description of the site, the surface collection, the excavation, artefact analysis, and recommendations for further research.
