County: Garfield <br />Cultural Resources Project Number: BLM GJFO CRIR 1112-09 <br />NEPA Number: DO[-BLM-CO-130-0002-EA <br />SHPO Report Number: GF.LM.R534 <br />5GF4692 is an historic road that does not show on any GLO or USGS maps. The road, recorded in its <br />entirety, is on a steep hillside above Munger Canyon. There were no historic artifacts that indicate the <br />period of use and there are no features in this segment. It is unknown what the purpose of the road is <br />although it is possible the road was created to access the upper end of private land on the hillside. The <br />ephemeral nature of the road where it was recorded suggests a short period of use and a long period of <br />abandonment. The segment recorded within the project lacks information potential and does not meet <br />criteria a -d. It is determined as not contributing for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places <br />(NRNP). The coal lease is for a mine that utilizes the long wall method of underground mining and <br />subsidence in this section of the lease is the only potential surface disturbance and is unlikely. No further <br />work is recommended. <br />This undertaking does not exceed any of the review thresholds listed in Part VIII (C) (2) of the Protocol, <br />and there will be no historic properties affected.
