Historic Properties Treatment Plan, Collom Mine, Colorado <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />This document presents a historic properties treatment plan for four prehistoric archaeological <br />sites located within leased land for the proposed Colowyo Collom Mine Expansion Project. The <br />four sites included in this plan - -Sites 5MF969, 5MF3996, 5MF4003, and 5MF6098- -are in <br />Moffat County, Colorado, on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), <br />Craig Field Office (Figure 1.1). Topographic maps showing the location of the four sites are <br />included in Appendix A. <br />These four sites were investigated as part of a Class III cultural resource inventory (TRC Mariah <br />Associates Inc. [TRC Mariah] 2006). A total of 9,452 acres was inventoried with 10,838 acres <br />previously inventoried within the permit boundary. Seventy -three newly recorded sites were <br />found and 51 previously recorded sites were inspected. In addition, 69 isolated finds were <br />recorded. <br />Of the newly recorded sites, 64 are recommended as not eligible to the National Register of <br />Historic Places (NRHP), five sites contain rock cairns and are unevaluated pending Native <br />American consultation, three sites need further data for an eligibility recommendation and <br />one site (presented in this report) is recommended as eligible to the NRHP. Of the 51 previously <br />recorded sites, four are potentially eligible to the NRHP (with three of the sites presented in this <br />report), five previously recorded sites need further dates for an eligibility recommendation and <br />42 sites are not eligible to the NRHP. <br />At the request of Colowyo Mining Company and Maxim Technologies, this plan was submitted <br />to the BLM for Sites 5MF969, 5MF3996, 5MF4003, and 5MF6098. The five remaining sites <br />that require further data include Sites 5MF1652, 5MF4010, 5MF6120, 5MF6126, and 5MF6130 <br />but are all currently outside of the proposed permit boundary and will not be impacted by project <br />activities. <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
