There are five known sites on Chimney Rock <br />Mesa above Stollsteimer Creek north of the mine area. in <br />addition the U.S.G.S.

This office would welcome the opportunity <br />to work with Chimney Rock Coal to develop a plan to consider cultural <br />resources. <br />If this office can be of further assistance, please contact <br />the Compliance Division at 866-3392. <br />Si erely, <br />Arthur C.
