(4) Protection of public parks and historic places <br />(4)(a) There are no publicly owned parks or places listed on the National Register <br />of Historic Places that may be adversely affected by the proposed operation. <br />(4)(b) The town site of Bowie, site 5DT122, although heavily disturbed is a historic <br />site. All that remains is the mine office, the Bowie house garage, and two <br />mine garages. According to the Cultural Resources Inventory Report, the <br />four remaining buildings are eligible for listing on the National Register of <br />Historic Places. Therefore, the images of these buildings were preserved by <br />the preparation of a Historic American Building Survey (NABS) level II <br />documentation for each building. <br />The King Mine site, associated with the town site of Bowie, site 5DT1053, <br />has been heavily disturbed. The remaining buildings include a hoist house, <br />power plant, mule barn, powder magazines and sales house. The power <br />plant and hoist house are community landmarks. According to the Cultural <br />Resources Inventory Report, the power plant and hoist house are eligible for <br />listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, the images of <br />these buildings were preserved by the preparation of a Historic American <br />Building Survey (NABS) level II documentation for each building. <br />The level II Documentation of Structures is presented in Volume VI, Cultural <br />Resources. <br />Three sites in the Spruce Stomp Lease area, 5DT96, 5DT698 and 5DT1719 <br />have been officially deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of <br />Historic Places by the State Historic Preservation Officer and protection and <br />preservation are recommended. The following discussion of the three sites <br />is obtained from Grand River Institute's Class III cultural resource inventory <br />of the Spruce Stomp coal lease area. (GRI Project No. 2012 -10920 <br />November 2012) <br />Site 5DT96 was originally recorded by Steve Baker and Pat Flanigan of <br />Centuries Research in 1977 (Baker 1977). It was described as the Jess <br />PR -14 2.05-139 03/14 <br />
