However, a tabletop cultural resources inventory of the project area was <br /> completed and no cultural resources or historical properties were identified at the site. <br /> Historical use of the area is well documented and no significant features intersect the <br /> project area. Black Mountain will comply with all federal, state, and local laws with <br /> respect to the discovery of both cultural resources and human remains during operations. <br /> • West Greeley Conservation District—Commenter <br /> • A statement that they were not formally notified of this project; they were informed by <br /> various land owners and the neighboring Ft. Morgan Conservation District— Notification <br /> of conservation districts is required as part of the Weld County Use by Special Review <br /> process if the project boundary is within a conservation district. The Lost Creek project is <br /> not located within any conservation district, but does border two districts: West Greeley <br /> and Southeast Weld. Although notification of the conservation districts is not required by <br /> the state application process, Black Mountain will add the West Greeley Conservation <br /> District to its list for future project notifications. <br /> • A statement that they would like to be part of the USR review—the Use by Special Review <br /> (USR) is the Weld County land use application process. Black Mountain has not yet <br /> submitted a USR application to Weld County.After Black Mountain submits an <br /> amendment to the state application,the USR application for Weld County will be finalized <br /> and submitted. A timeline for the Weld County application submittal is not currently <br /> known. <br /> • A statement that they are concerned for the surrounding land owners and agencies this <br /> project may impact and the effects the project may have from a conservation standpoint, <br /> including traffic, dust, and water quality— Black Mountain has been in contact with several <br /> local land owners and nearby entities, as well as local agencies to discuss the project and <br /> potential impacts. Multiple water quality tests were conducted and additional data is <br /> being added to the pending CDRMS application amendment regarding the potential <br /> impacts to water quality from the proposed mining activities. While traffic and dust <br /> concerns are not part of the scope of the state application review,they will be discussed <br />
