The permit area <br />encompasses mostly undeveloped land where some previous mining has occurred. No <br />known cultural or historic resources proposed for or listed in the National Register of <br />Historic Places exist within the permit area. A review of the files of the State <br />Archeologist, the State Preservation Officer, and the local BLM office was performed <br />prior to field surveys. <br />Nickens and Associates of Montrose County Colorado has performed extensive Class II <br />cultural resources surveys of the area which were completed in 1980. An intensive <br />pedestrian survey of areas to be disturbed by exploration and site investigation activities <br />was performed from June 27 through June 30, 1983 by Gibbs & Hill, Inc. on the behalf <br />of the applicant. On September 12 through September 14, 1983, an additional <br />pedestrian survey was completed by Nickens and Associates. A summary of the <br />results from these surveys are presented in Exhibit 3.2-1. Completion reports for these <br />surveys are on file with the Bureau of Land Management and the Office of the State <br />Archeologist. <br />NCIG -Coal Rldge No. 1 <br />3-9 <br />5/00 <br />
