Management & Monitoring Plans Page 4 of 4 G. Prairie dog control could take place along property boundaries where adjacent property owners complained of emigration of prairie dogs onto their property. One such case took place in the extreme southeastern corner of Dowe Flats. H. Shooting of prairie dogs was prohibited. Boulder County has now assumed ownership and management of most of Dowe Flats outside of the mining and reclamation areas. In Boulder County's ownership, (area in green on Figure 2) the County will manage prairie dogs according to its own policies. Cemex will continue to manage prairie dogs on lands under its ownership (area in blue on Figure 2) under the existing terms of the Management and Monitoring Plans. 6.0 Cultural Resources 6.1 Prehistoric Sites Within the original holdings of Southdown, Inc. there were numerous prehistoric sites that were to be monitored. The location and content of these sites aze exempt from the Freedom of Information Act, and not subject to public disclosure. All of the sites identified as a part of the original Dowe Flats Cultural Resource Management Plan aze now in Boulder County ownership, and monitoring of these sites has transferred to Boulder County. 6.2 Dowe Flats American Indian Advisory Council The last meeting was held in November of 1997. No subsequent meetings have been held since that time because no cultural resources have been discovered during the removal of topsoil in the active mine azea. 6.3 Historic Resources A pre-blast survey for the Montgomery School (Michael Weston residence) was completed in 1995. Annual monitoring by a qualified historic resources consultant took place from 1995-2000, with no reports of adverse impacts. Monitoring has since ceased because mine activities have moved to the north, and continue to move away from the Montgomery School. Seismic monitoring at the City of Longmont water tank [o the east across North Sls` St. has not recorded any significant ground vibrations from mine operations. No other significant historic resources have been monitored in connection with the Dowe Flats project.
