the identification and protection of cultural resources on publicly owned lands. Accordingly, <br /> this survey was done to meet requirements of CRS 24-80-401-411: Title 24 Government- <br /> State: State History, Archives, and Emblems: Article 80 State History, Archives, and <br /> Emblems: Part 4. Accordingly, the purpose of this cultural resources investigation was to <br /> identify previously recorded resources within the proposed project areas that may be adversely <br /> affected by the proposed action. Final determinations of NRHP eligibility and effect should be <br /> sought from the controlling state agency in consultation with the State Historic Preservation <br /> Officer(SHPO) and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. <br /> Files at History Colorado's Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) <br /> were reviewed through the on-line Compass database on the 7`h of August 2019. Also <br /> consulted were the General Land Office (GLO) records. The searches revealed that two Class <br /> III cultural resource inventories and fourteen cultural resources have been reported within one- <br /> mile of the inventory boundary. No cultural resources were previously recorded within the <br /> present study area. <br /> The Class III cultural resources intensive (pedestrian) inventory was conducted <br /> between the 9' and 11`' of August 2019. Results of the inventory include the newly recording <br /> of six prehistoric resources (two sites and four isolates). Site 5MF8727 is an open camp <br /> containing the possibility of subsurface depth of cultural fill (radiocarbon dating potential) and <br /> as such is field evaluated as eligible and should be avoided. The remaining site, 5MF8728, <br /> and isolates, 5MF8729-5MF8732, are field evaluated as not eligible and no further work is <br /> recommended. <br /> REFERENCES <br /> Antevs, E. <br /> 1955 Geologic-climate Dating in the West.American Antiquitv 20:317-355. <br /> Athearn, Frederick J. <br /> 1976 An Isolated Empire, A History of'Northwestern Colorado.
