2. Prepare a Historic Structures Report (HSR) for American Camp to include detailed treatment recommendations for the redoubt.
Phase 2:

2. Update the National Register of Historic Places nomination for English Camp and American Camp to include the information from the CLIs.
NPS and UO will collaborate on each task and both partners will be substantially involved in the historical research, site documentation, preparation of the narratives, and design proposals creation tasks required to meet the project objectives. NPS will provide historical research, field documentation, and report writing assistance.
