<br />Bureau of Land hianagement <br />October 4, 1990 <br />Page 2 <br />Site 5kT118 is situated on the edge of the proposed permit <br />boundary on the opposite side of the drainage in which <br />the proposed North haulroad exits the minesite to the <br />northwest (Exhibit 5.1 shows that portion of the proposed <br />haulroad disturbance boundary that might influence the <br />integrity of the site). It is situated outside proposed <br />disturbance areas. However, it is highly probable that <br />blasting wiil be conducted within 2,000 feet of the rock <br />art panels. For these reasons, Peabody proposes the <br />following plan to protect and mitigate the site. <br />The first step will be to document the rock art panels <br />using photography and drawings. This will be conducted by <br />Peabody's consulting archaeologists in consultation with <br />the appropriate regulatory authorities to insure proper <br />implementation. Documentation of the rock art panels is <br />deemed necessary in the unlikely event that proximate <br />blasting might damage the rock face. The second step will <br />be the posting of "Disturbance Boundary" signs around the <br />area where the fire-rock was discovered. This will insure <br />that the area surrounding the site is avoided during <br />construction of the haulroad. These activities will Ge <br />completed prior to commencement of construction or blasting. <br />Your timely response t <br />site 5RT118 would be <br />questions, please don't <br />o the plan to protect and mitigate <br />appreciated. If you have any <br />hesitate to contact nie. <br />Sincerely, <br />Brian P. Dunfee <br />Manager, <br />Environmental Studies <br />jdc <br />Mike Metcalf (w/o enclosure) <br />Carl Mount <br />
