Limited - Results Archaeological Survey Form (Page 2 of 11) <br />documented cultural resources in the area of potential affect (APE). As such, a finding of no <br />historic properties affected is recommended for the project. <br />II. DESCRIPTION OF UNDERTAKING / PROJECT <br />10. Type of Undertaking: Construction of eleven borehole pads, measuring 200 x 200 ft in size or <br />less. For the four surveved bore holes. there will be approximately 3.328 feet (0.6 mile) of new <br />access roads, and 4.1 miles of existing two -track roads that will require upgrade. The specific <br />mileage of planned access for the other seven bore holes is unknown; but will fall within areas <br />Previously surveyed for cultural resources. The bore holes are located most closely to County <br />Road 33 to the south, but Twentymile will be accessing them from the west side of the project <br />area where a bladed road meets County Road 27. The existing roads to the south of the project <br />area were not inventoried for cultural resources based on this construction plan. <br />11. Size of Undertaking (acres): 12.1 Size of Project (if different) 62.1 acres (inventoried) <br />12. Nature of the Anticipated Disturbance: Construction of eleven cement borehole pads <br />approximately 200 x 200 feet in size or less, and 4.7 miles of known access road. The borehole <br />pads will contain diversion ditches and topsoil stockpiles. Each of the four surveyed bore holes <br />will have a short new access road built to them that takes off from existing two -track roads. <br />These roads will be approximately 50 feet wide or less. The existing two -track roads will require <br />some updgrades (blading and widening) to accommodate drill rigs. The existing two -track roads <br />connect to improved bladed roads that are well - traveled and will not require any new <br />construction. <br />13. Comments: <br />III. PROJECT LOCATION <br />Please attach a photocopy of USGS Quad clearly showing the project location. The Quad should be <br />clearly labeled with the Prime Meridian, Township, Range, Section(s), Quad map name, size, and <br />date. Please do not reduce or enlarge the photocopy. <br />14. Description: The project area is located approximately twelve miles northwest of Oak Creek off of <br />Routt County Road 33 on private surface within Twentymile Coal's Foidel Creek Mine lease area. <br />Coal ownership in the project area is State of Colorado and private. <br />15.
