Long Hollow Dam and Reservoir Phase I Summary Report <br /> ditches and associated features dating from the 1920s through the 1950s, and two prehistoric <br /> sites that may represent Archaic Period use. The two prehistoric sites (5LP7399 and 5LP7400) <br /> were recommended by LPAC as eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic <br /> Places. The three historic sites (5LP7396, 5LP7397, and 5LP7398) were not recommended by <br /> LPAC as eligible for National Register nomination. <br /> Each prehistoric site contains features or areas with intact cultural deposits within the area likely <br /> to be impacted by LHR construction and development. LPAC recommended that a plan <br /> approved by USACE and the Colorado State Historical Preservation Officer (SHPO) be <br /> implemented to mitigate any adverse impacts. An approved treatment plan for the two sites <br /> ideally would include the recovery of data from the impacted portions of the two sites; analysis <br /> of any recovered artifacts, botanical samples, fauna samples, dating samples, and other relevant <br /> data; and preparation of a report detailing these investigations and their results. LPAC findings <br /> (LPAC, July 2003) were submitted to USACE, which forwarded them to the SHPO. <br /> 6.5 Local Consultations <br /> Local consultations during the Phase I study process included: <br /> 1. Multiple meetings with the USBR to discuss the Animas La Plata (ALP) Project <br /> Mitigation Area(MA) on the La Plata River. <br /> 2. Presentations of the LHR project at public meetings of the LPWCD Board, the New <br /> Mexico La Plata Conservancy District Board, and the Animas La Plata Water <br /> Conservancy District (ALPWCD). A presentation to the SWCD Board on July 26, 2004 <br /> is planned. <br /> 3. Interviews with two local newspapers,which resulted in published articles. <br /> 4. A public notice for the LHR project published in both the Durango (Colorado) Herald <br /> and Farmington (New Mexico) Times. <br /> 991-077.115 Wright Water Engineers, Inc.
