This site is outside both the proposed permit area and mine plan areas. <br />The site was determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places by the State Historic Pres- <br />ervatbn Officer on August 27, 1982 (Appendix K, Part I). <br />The site lies approximately 3800 feet southeast of the closest proposed mining disturbance. Due to <br />this distance from the mining area, the location of the site on the Twenty Mile Sandstone and the rela- <br />tively Inaccessible location, the ske will not be disturbed by Trepper Mine Operations. <br />No other archeological sites have been recorded within or adjacent (500' or closer) to the proposed <br />mine plan area. <br />4.1.2 Historical Resources <br />No signficant historical resources have been idenified within or adjacent to the proposed mine plan <br />area. Of the three skes located prior to this permit submittal, two (sites SMF348 and 5MF950) will be <br />disturbed by the proposed mining activities during some future permit period. <br />Historical site 5MF348 has been evaluated by the Bureau of Land Management as the surface manag- <br />• ing agency.

These sites will be disturbed by mining operations. However, they have been ... <br />cleared by the State Historical Preservation Officer as not eligible for the National Register and no <br />further work is required (Part X, XI, and XII of Appendix K). <br />None of the sites (archaeological or historiceQ referred to in attachment B of the OSM mining plan <br />approval document No. CO-0013 will be impacted during the current permit term. <br />• <br /> <br />4-3a - <br />_ _._._MAY .~ 3_1998____ <br />
