Site 5MF948 is a pictograph on the outcrop of the Twenty Mile Sandstone on the south side of the <br />Williams Fork Mountains. This site is outside the proposed mine plan area but within the permit area. <br />The site was determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places by the State Historic Pres- <br />ervation Officer on August 27, 1982 (Appendix K, Part 1). <br />The site lies approximately 700 feet south of the closest proposed mining disturbance. Due to this <br />distance from the mining area, the location of the site on the Twenty Mile Sandstone and the relatively <br />inaccessible location, the site will not be disturbed by Trapper Mine Operations. <br />No other archeological sites have been recorded within or adjacent (500' or closer) to the proposed <br />mine plan area. <br />4.1.2 Historical Resources <br />No significant historical resources have been identified within or adjacent to the proposed mine plan <br />area. Of the three sites located prior to this permit submittal, two (sites 5MF348 and 5MF950) will be <br />disturbed by the proposed mining activities during some future permit period. <br />Historical site 5MF348 has been evaluated by the Bureau of Land Management as the surface manag- <br />ing agency. They have determined this site does not qualify for the National Register (Refer to part II of <br />Appendix K). The site has been fully inventoried and recorded and no further work is proposed before <br />disturbance. <br />Historical site 5MF950, located by Archeological Services in 1980, was surveyed by Nickens and <br />Associates in May, 1987. As explained in Section 2.9.2, the site does not qualify for the National <br />Register and no further work is required. The site will be disturbed by mining activities late in the life of <br />the mine. <br />During the 1987-1992 permit term, three additional historical sites, 5MF1960, 5MF2253, and 5MF2427 <br />were discovered. These sites will be disturbed by mining operations. However, they have been cleared <br />by the State Historical Preservation Officer as not eligible for the National Register and no further work <br />is required (Part X, XI, and XII of Appendix K). <br />None of the sites (archaeological or historical) referred to in attachment B of the OSM mining plan <br />approval document No. CO -0013 will be impacted during the current permit term. <br />4-3a Revision: 7R- - //S <br />Approved: <br />
