RULE 2 PERMITS <br />standards. Investigations listed as mine exploration typically included a number of small locations for <br />stratigraphic cores. Portions of Sections 16, 17, 20, and 28 of T4N, R93W have not yet been surveyed. <br />The remaining portions of the permit revision area, including all of the mining affected areas, have been <br />adequately surveyed for cultural resources. Table 2.04.4-2 briefly summarizes the cultural resource sites <br />that are within the permit revision boundary. <br />Documented cultural resources within the South Taylor/Lower Wilson mining areas are shown on Map <br />16B. Sites located within the actual mining impact areas include a historic trash scatter, historic dugout <br />and bridge, a prehistoric open architectural site and isolated feature, and a historic isolated collection of <br />rock cairns. Of these, site 5MF 934 and 5MF 4005 are the only features that could be disturbed by <br />mining activities. 5MF 934 is an unevaluated trash scatter that was considered not eligible for the <br />Register (Pool and Spath, 1995). 5MF 4005 is an isolated collection of three rock cairns and an <br />associated overgrown two -track; this site was considered not eligible for the Register (Pool and Spath, <br />1995). <br />Documented cultural resources in the vicinity of the new road from the Wilson Creek road to the Gossard <br />Loadout are shown on Map 16B. They include three prehistoric camps, a historic camp, and two <br />prehistoric isolated finds. Of these, one prehistoric camp is eligible for the Register (5MF1935), one site <br />is unevaluated (5MF4003), and the remaining sites are recommended as not eligible for the Register. The <br />unevaluated site, 5MF4003 is located near the crossing of Wilson Creek on the access road to the Gossard <br />Loadout. The current road alignment might impact this site; thus the site will be evaluated prior to <br />impact. The eligible site is on the other (west) side of the Wilson Creek Road from the crossing, and as <br />such, is not expected to be disturbed by mine development activities. If this site cannot be avoided it will <br />require data recovery or some other form of mitigation. The likelihood that additional eligible resources <br />will be found in the portions of the permit area that have not yet been surveyed is considered fairly low by <br />the archaeologists. <br />Documented cultural resources in the vicinity of surface disturbances at South Taylor include several <br />isolated finds. These finds were all recommended as ineligible for the Register. <br />South Taylor/Lower Wilson — Rule 2, Page 8 Revision Date: 4/7/17 <br />Revision No.: RN -07 <br />
