Programming supports a comprehensive network of cooperative study units to facilitate cooperative research, technical assistance, education, and training to inform science-based management of the national park system. The study units facilitate multi-disciplinary science and integrated information products across multiple geographic regions of the national park system. This agreement will create an historic structures report for the nace want water ruins that incorporates a preservation plan (conservation management plan) for future care of the structure and its immediate grounds. The HSR will create a historic context, condition assessment, materials evaluation and analysis, and treatment recommendations for the structure. The robust treatment and work recommendations section will identify priority needs for the site and give guidance on the needed stabilization and repairs to the stone masonry, brick masonry, and plaster. These recommendations will be used to guide future conservation efforts for the site and structures. University of pennsylvania will be subcontracting with the center of historic architecture design (chad) at the university of delaware to prepare the historical data section of the report to guide the condition assessment and treatment recommendations. Beneficiaries include state and local governments, federally recognized indian tribal governments, public private nonprofit organizations, nonprofit institutions of higher education, and the general public).
