Dear Carl:

I am responding to the March 23, 1993, letter from the
Colorado Historical Society in which the SHPO has
recommended a cultural resource inventory on the above
referenced Cross Mountain Pit #1 application.
It is clearly stated in the application that the permit
is on private land. This land does not meet the Criteria for
nomination to the state register under the provisions of CRS
24-80.1-107(1), and particularly under the provisions of
24-80.1-106(2):
" Written approval of the owner of the land and the property
is required for nomination to or inclusion in the state
register."
Because the owners of the Cross Mountain Ranch have
not, and will not, give written approval for nomination to,
or inclusion in, the state register, it is my opinion that the
State Historical Society is without jurisdiction to require a
cultural resource survey on this property.
Before the Division obstructs this permit, or burdens it
with useless surveys and conditions, I am requesting that
you require the SHPO to provide the following documentation:
o That they hsve absolute jurisdiction to require a
cultural resource survey on this private property as a
condition of permit approval;
o That the Moffat County Road Department has a legal
responsibility to provide a cultural resource survey on this
private property as a condition of the permit approval.
