Ranney <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />Division of Minerals & Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm. 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Oakridge Energy, Inc., File No. C-92-080 <br />Dear Mr. Ranney: <br />This office has reviewed your correspondence of August 11, 1992 and the <br />permit to conduct coal mining for the above project. <br />A search of our files indicates that much of the permit area has been <br />surveyed for cultural resources and that archaeological site SLP356 is <br />within the mine area. This site, which has not been evaluated in terms of <br />the National Register of Historic Places criteria, is listed as a <br />habitation site in a cultivated area. We are aware that the area has been <br />mined since the 1980's, however, based on the maps in the permit we are <br />uncertain whether this site has been impacted. We, therefore, recommend <br />that an archaeologist relocate and evaluate this site in terms of the <br />National Register criteria. This information should then be forwarded to <br />our office for review. If the site is determined to be eligible a <br />determination of effect must be completed. This is done in accordance with <br />our May 1991 Memorandum of Understanding. <br />If we may be of further assistance please contact Jim Green at 866-4674. <br />Sincerely, <br />/-'~ <br />~/' James E. Hartmann <br />~! State Historic Preservation Officer <br />JEH/WJC <br />
