As required, a <br />Colorado permitted archaeologist has evaluated the discoveries and has made a recommendation to the <br />eligibility of the isolated find to the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP). This documentation <br />and recommendation has been included for your review. <br />The isolated find was located prior to topsoil removal activities within the Little Collom Gulch <br />drainage, and per the enclosed documentation is not recommended as an eligible site for the NRHP. <br />Tri-State and Colowyo are fully committed to protecting all cultural resources sites, and will take <br />the measures required to ensure the sites are mitigated or avoided.
