Escherger. <br />Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the above named project. We were disappointed to hear <br />that a permit had been issued for this Quarry prior to completion of consultation with our office concerning the <br />cultural resources that exist within the project boundary. While we applaud the informal proposal to avoid some <br />of the extant cultural resources, we have concerns about what such a plan would look like and how the <br />resources would be managed over a long period of time. We suggest that DRMS and/or the project proponent <br />consult a professional Cultural Resource Management (CnI) company to create a comprehensive plan. Our <br />office t5 happy to be of as�tstancc to this- endeavor. <br />\\'care also concerned that while a cultural resources survey was undertaken in 3015 by a CRAI company, our <br />office did not receive it copy of the report or itte files until A[arch 2018, effectively limiting our ability to <br />adequately address any cultural resource concerns for this project. l\ a mquest that future surveys, whether <br />completed by DBMS or a project proponent, be promptly submitted to our office. <br />If you have any questions, please contact the Intergovernmental Services Director Mark Tobias at <br />mark.tobiasna state.co.us, or 303-866-4674 or Todd McMahon, Staff Archaeologist, at <br />todd.macmahon0state.co.us or 303-866-4607. <br />Sincerely, <br />4vt -- <br />t .
