Exhibit Page 44 <br />Southwestern Mountains: <br />The Gold Rush and Territorial Period (1859-1876) <br />Post WWII Mining Period (1940-Present) <br />Ranching since 1880 <br />Engineering Context: <br />None <br />SCENIC VALUES AND VIEWSHED ISSUES <br />Although the pit is located on a high ridge between the Dolores River Valley and Lost <br />Canyon, the operations are not particularly noticeable from either Highway 145 (Scenic <br />Byway) or Highway 184 (Dominiquez-Escalante Memorial Highway). While there are <br />locations along County Road S (Forest Highway 556) and Highway 184, as well as <br />points north of Dolores on County Road 31, where the site can be seen, these are areas <br />sufficiently distant for the view not to be impacted significantly by operations, <br />The site is not visible from the Town of Dolores. <br />
