Prehistoric site SSM918 was recorded in the vicinity of one of the proposed vent holes in <br />1982 by the BLM and recommended to be potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places <br />(NRHP). <br />Since there is Federal agency involvement in this project (as the proposed permit area is located on BLM <br />land), please note that it is the responsibility of the Federal agency to meet the requirements of Section <br />106 of the National Historic Preservation Act as set forth in 36 CFR 800 ("Protection of Historic <br />Properties"). This includes the identification of any historic properties (i.e. cultural resources which are <br />eligible to be listed in the NRHP) within the area of potential effects and determining whether the <br />undertaking will have an effect upon such properties. The State Historic Preservation Office, Native <br />American tribes, representatives of local governments, and applicants for Federal permits, licenses or <br />other approval are entitled to consultative roles in this process. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Greg Wolff, <br />Compliance Coordinator, at (303) 866-4674. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~~~~ <br />Georgianna Contiguglia <br />State Historic Preservation Officer <br />GC/GA W <br />ec: Vince MacMillan, Dolores Public Lands Office <br />
