Site Description/Update: Site 5MF.4006 was originally recorded in 1995 by Metcalf Archaeological Consultants <br />for the Colowyo Coal Company Lease and Exploration Areas: Class III Cultural Resource Inventory. The site consists <br />of a rock cairn constructed with large sandstone rocks that has collapsed in the middle. It measures 250 cm long by <br />175 cm wide by 80 cm tall. The stones are heavily coated in green and orange lichen. The site has been revisited three <br />times since the original recording. It was revisited in 2001 by the BLM Little Snake Field Office, in 2005 by TRC as part <br />of the Collom Mine Expansion Class III Inventory project, and in 2015 by Tetra Tech as part of the Collom Mine <br />Expansion Site Assessment project. No new observations were recorded during any visitation. <br /> <br />In 2015, Tetra Tech revisited the site as part of the Collom Mine Expansion Site Assessment project. The site still <br />consisted of a collapsed rock cairn composed of lichen covered sandstone rocks. The cairn was unchanged with no <br />significant changes or impacts observed since the 2005 recording. <br /> <br />In 2019, Tetra Tech revisited the site as part of the second round of assessments. The site remained unchanged since <br />the 2015 revisit. No mining related activities had affected the collapsed cairn. Current mining activities were also not <br />visible from the cairn location. Tetra Tech recommended that mining activities continue to avoid the area until further <br />assessment. <br /> <br />In 2023, Tetra Tech revisited the site as part of the third round of assessments. The site remains unchanged since the <br />2015 revisit. No mining related activities have affected the collapsed cairn. Current mining activities are also not visible <br />from the cairn location. Tetra Tech recommends that mining activities continue to avoid the area until further <br />assessment. <br />18.
