3. Cultural Resoarces National Kin, Goat has condceted Class III, intensive surface inveaton~ within their existin~~ operation azea. No archaeolofical or historic sites or paleontological localities were located. The frequency of site occurrences in this general area, based on adjacent inventory dafa is iow: one historic stone foundation and tluee isolated prehistoric stone tools recorded within a 2 mile radius of the project area Low levels of subsidence have been observed within other coal mining areas adjacent to the project azea, however, they are not to the de~ee that they would impact surface resources and aze limited to carvon bottoms where no sites have been found. Since there is minimal surface disturbance on the proposed ptoject azea and the incidences of sites in this area is loin, no additional Class III surveys are necessary at this time. If at anytime paleontological discoveries are made all work must stop and tt-.e BLIvI notified immediately. Signature of specialist: Kristie .Arrington 12/11/00 4.
