As <br />such, it is our opinion that a finding of no historic properties affected is appropriate for this undertaking <br />pursuant to 36 CFR 8004(d)(1). <br />The Section 106 consultation process does involve other consulting parties such as local governments and <br />Tribes, which as stipulated in 36 CFR 800.3 are required to be notified of the undertaking. Additional <br />information provided by the local government, Tribes or other consulting parties may cause our office to re- <br />evaluate our comments and recommendations. Please note that our compliance letter does not end the 30 -day <br />review period provided to other consulting parties. <br />If previously unidentified archaeological resources are discovered in the course of the project, work must be <br />interrupted until the resources are properly evaluated in terms of the National Register of Historic Places <br />eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with our office. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Mark Tobias, <br />Section 106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866 -4674 or mark. tobiasastate.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
