We concur with the contractor's recommendation that the <br />archaeological site is eligible for listing to the National Register of Historic Places under criterion d. If the historic <br />property cannot be preserved in place, we recommend archaeological data recovery as mitigation. This mitigation or <br />treatment should follow previously agreed -to process for similar post -review discoveries encountered during haul <br />road construction. A copy of the Historic Property Treatment Plan for BK -1-072617 may serve as a reasonable guide <br />for this treatment. If you are comfortable with this approach, I suggest that we simply reference and follow this <br />attached treatment plan to facilitate the immediate mitigation of BK -2-o62518 thereby minimizing project <br />construction delays. <br />Please let me know if you have any additional questions and if you find this approach satisfactory. <br />Take care - <br />Mark <br />Mark Tobias <br />Intergovernmental Services Manager <br />Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation <br />History Colorado Center <br />1200 Broadway <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />(303) 866-4674 <br />mark.tobias@state.co.us <br />On Thu, Jun 28, 2018 at 3:51 PM, Belka, Christine <cbelkaosmre.gov> wrote: <br />Hi Mark, <br />Based upon the attached information, Jeremy Iliff indicated that we have a potentially eligible site that would need <br />to be mitigated at the Colowyo Mine. This discovery is a thermal feature which was found during the course of <br />excavation and road building activities. It has been flagged with a 100' buffer. <br />Jeremy Iliff is out of the office for approximately 10 days, so I am forwarding this information to you. He indicated <br />that Colowyo will likely need to submit a data recovery plan which your office would need to concur with prior to <br />implementation. Is this correct? Please advise. <br />Thank you, <br />https://mail.google.com/mail/b/AELYnl Hg8M7-MUTZKLd0EtetLxlWOasJHFOg8b3fopSwH2Xi7Yy7/u/0/?ui=2&ik=deb7fOcd20&jsver=Qv9zvKTcTKg.e... 5/7 <br />
