<br />A cultural resources sample inventory of the North Thompson Creek Mine <br />site and mine plan areas located on private lands and lands administered by <br />the U.S. forest Service (White River National Forest) was conducted by Grand <br />River Institute at the request of Snowmass Coal Company of Carbondale, Colo- <br />rado. The study area is in Township 8 South, Range 89 West, Sections 21, 22, <br />27, 28, 33, 34, 35, and Township 9 South, Range 89 West, Sections 2, 3, and <br />4. A search of the Colorado Archaeological Site Inventory, the Colorado In- <br />ventory of Historic Sites, and nominations pending or on the National Regis- <br />ter of Historic Places produced no known archaeological and/or historical/ <br />architectural resources in the vicinity of the study area. A sample sur- <br />vey performed by Carl E. Conner (Project Archaeologist) and Jim Conner on <br />18-19 July 1985 identified three isolated finds, all of which are considered <br />insignificant but which do represent limited use of the area by prehistoric <br />peoples. It is recommended that no further consideration of cultural re- <br />sources need be given the surface extent of the mine project as currently <br />proposed. <br />Carl E.
