PA SHPO staff in the Environmental Review Division are divided into two groups: Above Ground reviewers, who consult on projects involving above ground resources, and Archaeology reviewers, who consult on projects involving earth disturbance. Above Ground reviewers are assigned projects based on the federal or state agency involved. Archaeology reviewers are assigned projects based on a geographic region.

If you have questions about a review, please consult the Above Ground review agency list or the Archaeology review map to determine who you should contact.
