In <br />anticipation of this, Peabody contracted with Metcalf <br />Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (MAC), to conduct <br />archaeological clearance activities in proposed permit <br />expansion areas that had not been previously surveyed. <br />Current and past survey areas, the proposed permit boundary, <br />and archaeological sites and isolated finds are shown cn <br />Exhibit 5-1 (enclosed). <br />Mac's report is enclosed for your review. The survey of <br />the proposed expansion areas resulted in the <br />substantiation of previously recorded site 5RT118, and the <br />identification of one isolated find (site 5RT709). Site <br />5RT118 was originally recorded in 1979, and consisted of <br />three anthropomorphic rock art figures. Not recorded in <br />1979 was a scatter of fire-cracked rock and potential hearth <br />areas below the rock art panel. In MAC's opinion, site <br />5RT118 is significant. They further recommend testing and <br />documentation should the area be impacted by mining or <br />associated activities. <br />
