The location will bo on <br />very steep slopes (50-80%) at ttic head of Sylvester GuICh on the southwest end of West Flatiron. <br />• This is shown on the attached section of the Somerset quad in the NW/SE/NW/NW Section 26, <br />T133; R9bW, Gunnison County. Access will lie from an existing vehicle road crossing the head <br />of Sylvester Gulch. New access will continue approximate]y 600 feet northeasterly upsiopc to <br />the proposed'loeation from a switchback in the existing road. This is extremely steep slope with <br />numerous erosion features. Vegetation is Gambel oak with brush uudcrstory (predominantly <br />scrviccberry, snowbetry and choke cheiry)'. There is no potential for in situ cultural materials in <br />this setting. I have been within a few hundred feet of this location following a miner's hose to <br />the cast. No cultural resource inventory of the exact location is wattartted, and cultuual resource <br />clearance is recommended. <br />!f you have any questions or require additional materials, do not hesitate to call. <br />5inccrdy; <br />/"K'/ l/ <br />C Sp~th, PhD <br />Senior Archaeologist <br />• <br />5231 South Quebec Street •~Gra:nwogl Village, Colorado RO] 1 f <br />Phone (3U3) 85U-OHJU • 1'ax (90:1) 721.9298 <br />Wc6 $il<: www.~,~rrynluue•uvuaullaul5.<u[u • E•n1Ril: yrys[onetf3greysttme-ctm•ull,mis.['um <br />
