<br />• Vlan-made Structure <br />(This information is from the El Paso County Special Use Permit Application) <br />Historic, Archaeological, Paleontological Resources <br />Paleontological Resources: <br />Because [he rock type in the area of [he quarry is igneous, fossils would not be expected. Fossils <br />can sometimes be found in metamorphic rocks, if the alteration is not too severe, but igneous rocks rarely <br />contain fossils. <br />There is a possibility of late Tertiary or Pleistocene fossils in alluvium contained itt [he valleys <br />and canyons. This is not likely though as the land during those times was probably about as rugged as it <br />is today. During the Pleistocene it is likely that stream flows were very intense and any cre;ttures that <br />died in the canyons were probably washed eastward out of the canyons. Their remains toda;~ would most <br />likely be found in alluvium east of the mountain front. <br />No fossils, Pleistocene or otherwise, have ever been found on the site. In the event something is <br />found proper action will be taken noting its presence and notification of authorities. <br />Historical and Archaeological: <br />The Colorado Historical Society was asked to review their files to determine what was known <br />about [he quarry area and surrounding lands. A copy of the letter portion of the response from them is <br />included in this exhibit. <br />Many surveys have been done in this area and a tremendous number of sites, primarily <br />archaeological, identified. A printout of the basic data was received from the Historical So~:iety. The <br />printout was taken to the Historical Society offices and the results of [heir analysis discussed while <br />reviewing [he maps showing the locations of sites. <br />Nearly all of the sites noted in the file search are located east of Highway 115 on Fbrt Carson <br />property. Only a few sites are known west of the highway. With respect to this quarry site in particular, <br />nothing has ever been found on the site itself. The Historical Society records show three sites a short <br />ways east of the quarry and located along the mountain front. Two of the sites are well away from any <br />influence from the quarry or the access road. The third site shown on the Historical Society maps is <br />adjacent to the access road. The information provided by the Historical Society's printout is provided <br />below. However, the actual location and description of the site cannot be disclosed as that information is <br />protected. The Historical Society requested [hat site specific information no[ be published '.n a public <br />document such as this amendment application. Interested parties may go to the Historical Society and <br />review the files if they so desire. <br />Current Status of This Recorded Site: <br />The site is still present and was examined. No details regarding the site can be pro~~ided other <br />than it is a natural feature in the form of a spring and is protected from damage, although currently used <br />for stock watering purposes. Centennial Materials has not affected the site or the feature and the plans for <br />this operation will have no influence on the future of this site. <br />Menzer Quarry Amendment Exhibit S Page 2 <br />
