All but one site is within the open meadow 1<:nds. It is in a <br />~orested area of quaking aspen. However, as in the case of the other <br />drill holes, no new access roads will be cut nor will any pads need <br />to be cc~structed. <br />INL'ENTORY ?~;TNODOLOGY <br />All tliree areas for test hole drilling were subjected to a cul- <br />tural resources inventory on August 14, 1977, using a similar methology <br />in each instance. The surveyor walked an expanding spiral transect <br />around each test hole marker to a iadins of EO meters. All visible <br />surfaces of the ground were inspected. At the Knott Ranch test hole <br />sites,. it was frequently necessary to deviate from the spiral to avoid <br />trees or heavy brush. Access roads were not surveyed as no new access <br />roads were marked by surveyors' flags, and the presence of existing <br />~oads to all sites, makes the construction of new roads improbable. <br />LITERATURE SEARCH <br />a <br />A literature search of the described areas produced a report which <br />was written by Virginia Kosarko for Sunland A`:ining Co. in December. 1976. <br />In that report she describes surveying four drill holes in the same <br />project area under consideration here. No prehistorice or historic <br />remains prior to ca. 1930 were reported being found or recorded during <br />the former survey. Nor were there any archeological sites of record <br />to be found in the Craig District BLM files or the files of the Colorado <br />State Archeologist. No sites have been nominated to the National Re- <br />gistar within or near the bounds of the Project Area. <br /> <br />-6- <br />-" : <br />i <br />i <br />. ~9 <br />
