�• 4.1 CONTROL OF IMPACTS TO CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES <br />All lands within and adjacent to the proposed mine plan area have been sur- <br />veyed for cultural and historical resources. These resources are discussed in <br />detail in Section 2.9 and Appendix R and are shown on Map M45. <br />Under Title I of the Historic Preservation Act (1966), the Secretary of Inter- <br />ior is authorized to expand and maintain a National Register of districts, <br />sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American history, <br />architecture, archaeology, and culture. The Colorado State Historical Society <br />has been contacted to determine the current National Register listings in Mof- <br />fat County. This list includes: <br />1) White -Indian Contact Site at Brown's Park, listed 3/8/77. <br />2) Old Lodore School at Brown's Park, listed 2/24/75. <br />3) David H. Moffat "Marcia" Pullman car at Craig, listed 6/20/75. <br />t^� 4) Two -Bar Ranch at Maybell, listed 2/17/78. <br />None of the listed <br />sites are. in or adjacent to the proposed mine <br />plan area and <br />no new nominations <br />are known to be pending for <br />Moffat County. <br />However, two <br />archaeological sites (5MF290/549 and 5MF948) evaluated during a <br />1980 cultural <br />resources survey <br />for Trapper Mine have been <br />recommended for <br />testing of <br />eligibility for the National Register. (Refer <br />to Section 2.9 and <br />Appendix K <br />for more detail.) <br />In the future, any unidentified cultural or historical resources discovered on <br />lands within or adjacent to the proposed permit area will be reported as is <br />appropriate to the responsible regulatory agencies. If necessary, activities <br />that may damage or destroy such a find will be halted until the area can be <br />evaluated by a qualified historian or archaeologist. Appropriate mitigative <br />measures will subsequently be initiated. Resumption of activity will not <br />begin until the evaluation is complete and the necessary information is col- <br />lected or protective measures are implemented. <br />4-2 <br />
