Fieldwork was completed from November 15 <br />through November 17, 2006. Conditions at the time of survey were clear and warm, <br />with a light breeze, and access was much better than had been anticipated. Most of <br />the flagging and staking was still readily visible and easy to follow, although some <br />flags and stakes had fallen. The survey discovered and documented two prehistoric <br />isolated finds (SMN8085 and 8086). In addition, the recorded location of known site <br />SMN7765 is approximately 100 meters from one of the proposed core holes. The site <br />has been evaluated as not eligible for the NRHP and is at least 30 meters from any <br />of the identified project elements, including access trails. <br />The project as marked at the time of cultural resource inventory does not contain any <br />' eligible or unevaluated cultural resources. The project area also does not include any <br />areas of Holocene deposits in settings that are likely to contain undiscovered cultural <br />resources. The project as surveyed will not adversely impact any historic properties. <br />' No further cultural resource investigations are recommended for the project as <br />marked. <br />' Sincerely, <br /> ARCADI§ <br />U.,S, <br />' A~ <br />van t, rnv <br />enior ultural Resources Specialist <br />Imagine the result <br />' c\projects\co001188-western fuels\conespontlence\cn ryt blm ltH 190].doc <br />ARCADIS U.S., Ina <br />630 Plaza Ddve <br />Suite 200 <br />Highlands Ranch <br />Colorado 80129 <br />Te1720.344.3500 <br />Fax 720.344.3535 <br />www.arcadis-us.com <br />ENVIRONMENT/PE RMIT7ING <br />Date: <br />January 19, 2007 <br />Contact: <br />Carl Spath, PhD <br />Phone: <br />303-471-3474 <br />Email: <br />Carl.Spath@arcadis- <br />us.com <br />Our reC <br />00001188.0001.00002 <br />
