(Tri-State), is the parent <br />company to Axial Basin Coal Company, which is the general partner to Colowyo Coal Company <br />L.P. (Colowyo). Colowyo operates under the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />(Division) Permit No. C1981-019. <br />In accordance with Exhibit 5 Item 3 of the permit to mine, Tri-State on behalf of <br />Colowyo is providing written notification to the Division of the discovery of a cultural resources <br />site. As required, a Colorado permitted archaeologist has evaluated the discoveries and has made <br />a recommendation to the eligibility of the site to the National Register of Historic Places <br />(NRHP). This documentation and recommendation has been included for your review. <br />The site was encountered during topsoil removal activities for the Collom Haul Road. <br />Work was immediately stopped and all topsoil removal activities have ceased within 100 feet of <br />the site as required. The site is being recommended as an eligible site for the NRHP, and it <br />resides on Colowyo's private deeded property. <br />Tri-State and Colowyo are fully committed to protecting all cultural resources sites, and <br />will take the measures required to ensure the sites are mitigated or avoided.
