Mathews <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Minerals & Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm. 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Roadside Portals (Permit No. C-1981-041) <br />Permit Revision Application No. 3 (PR-3) <br />Iand Use Change and Reclamation Plan Revision <br />Dear Mr. Mathews: <br />Thank you for your correspondence dated August 15, 2006 (received by our office on August ] 8) concerning the <br />technical revision [o the permit listed above. <br />A search of the Colorado Cultural Resource Inventory indicated that no surveys for cultural resources have been <br />conducted in the proposed permit area and no cultural resource sites aze known to be located within the proposed perrrrit <br />area. However, our files contain incomplete information for this area, as most of Colorado has not yet been inventoried <br />for cultural resources. As a result, there is the possibility that as yet unidenti5ed cultural resources exist within the <br />permit area. <br />It is our opinion that the proposed technical revision will have no effect on cultural resotrces since it will change the <br />post-mining land use from "Fish and Wildlife Habitat" to "Industrial or Commercial" and will allow the retention of <br />existing facilities and portions of the mine bench to accommodate the needs of the proposed commercial use for fruit <br />storage, packing and retail sales but will not disturb any previously undisturbed lands. <br />If archaeological resources aze discovered during project activities, work must be interrnpted~rmtil the resources have . <br />been evaluated in terms of the National Reeis[er of Historic Placec eligibility cr,[era (36 CFR 50.4) in consultation wish <br />our office. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment If we may be of further assistance, please contact Greg Wolff, Section l06 <br />Compliance Coordinator, at (303) 36613674. <br />Sincerely, <br />/' ~? ~ <br />Georgianna Contiguglia ' <br />State Historic Preservation Officer <br />GClGAW ~ ~ - <br />
