James faller I4anager of Land and Environment 'rlyoming Fuel Company 12055 West Second Place P.O. Box 15265 Lakewood, Colorado 80215 Dear E(r. I4i.ller: Enclosed please find an unbound copy of the final cultural resources inven- tory report for the portions of the Canadian Strip I~iine Extension permit areas in Jackson County surveyed by Gordon & iCranzush, Inc. in 1986 and 1981. As you originally contracted with C&iC to satisfy BLt~: requirements for coal exploration licenses (requirements met by the reports previously submitted), this report, designed to meet CSN requirements for idine Plan documentation, is considered work outside the scope of the previous contracts.

Anderson (Pioneer Archaeological Consultants) regarding her 1979 Sigma Nine report, and she indicated that she too was intent on satisfying BLIP', rather than OSI1, requirements, and that her report may not complete]y satisfy the latter's guidelines either. It may benefit you to talk to Judy Schafer of CSPI to ensure that the cultural resources sections of the mine plan are adequate. I knave that all of this is confhsi.-ig - and even annoying, but the differences between government agencies' requirements make it essential that contractors be advised of all possible review processes in order that one report suffice. For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the report criteria against vrhich cultural resource reports are assessed by GS2: far adequacy. Perhaps it will help minimize problems on future 'r7yoming Fuel Ccmpany projects. I hope that the enclosed materials will facilitate a successful end in your •
