<br />~- Introduction <br />Nickens and Associates was contacted by Peabody Coal Company in <br />early 1986 and again in 1988 to conduct cultura] resource <br />investigations for three areas of probable future mining <br />operations at the Nucla Mine. The areas investigated are <br />identified as Tract I, Tract II, and Tract IIA in the following <br />report on these investigations. <br />Tract I, is contained within the current Nuc1a Mine permit <br />boundary and had not previously been surveyed for cultural <br />resources. Anticipated operations in previously undisturbed <br />portions of this area necessitated the undertaking of these <br />studies. Mining areas 2 and 3 and the associated disturbances, <br />as shown on Exhibit 12-2 "Operations Plan", occur within Tract <br />I. <br />Tracts II and IIA are located approximately 1.5 miles southeast <br />of the current Nucla Mine permit area. The Tract II and IIA <br />study areas are currently referred to as the Nucla East Area. <br />The Nucla East permit area and associated disturbances are <br />shown on Exhibit 12-3, Operations Plan - Nucla East. <br />5-A-1 Revised 04/11/88 <br />• <br />(Revised July 2006) Attachment 2.04.4-1-3 <br />
