<br />Abstract <br />A cultural resources inventory of three proposed well sites (2.5 acres <br />each) located on lands administered by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service in the <br />Minnesota Creek drainage was conducted by Grand River Institute for the <br />West Elk Coal Company, Inc. of Somerset, Colorado. The study area occurs <br />in T. 135., R. 90W.,,Sections 33 and 34 in Gunnison National Forest, Gun- <br />nison County, Colorado. Files searches with the Forest Supervisor's <br />Office in Delta and the Colorado Preservation Office in Denver produced <br />no known archaeological and/or historical/architectural sites of signifi- <br />cance within the vicinity of the study area. A 1011% pedestrian survey <br />of the three proposed well sites was performed by Carl E. Conner, Project <br />Archaeologist, on 6 August 1984 under Special Use Permit No. CR-84-O1. <br />The survey covered approximately 7.5 acres. One isolated find, 5GN1734, <br />a chert interior flake, was found in the study area but is considered in- <br />significant. It is recommended that no further consideration of cultural <br />resources need be given the surface extent of this project. <br />'.a-- ~ ~ • ~~--~/ 8//~/may <br />ar onner ate <br />Project Archaeologist <br />2 <br />
