• <br />Discussion <br />As expected, the survey yielded historic farm sites on the bench above the North Fork <br />Valley of the Gunnison River. They are sites typical of the region considering that <br />agricultural development was the earliest economic interest in the area. Eazly dryland <br />production of grass hay in the Valley coupled with excellent summer range in [he surrounding <br />mountains spurred the livestock industry, which spread rapidly in the early 1880's with the <br />introduction of Shorthorn cattle. By the mid-1890's, however, and after the ranchers had a <br />setback due to the exceptionally bad winter of 1893, the land was being carved into smaller <br />parcels and fruit-growing was stimulated by the construction of new irrigation projects. The <br />coming of the railroad in 1902 to the Paonia area ensured that crops and livestock reach <br />lazger mazkets in better condition. Its extension into the Sorrtmerset area produced the coal- <br />mining boom of the early 1900's, and supports the continued success ofthat industry today. <br />Summary and Management Recommendations <br />The eligibility determination and consultation process is guided by Section 106 of the <br />NHPA (36 CFR 60, 63, and 800). Inventory to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential <br />effects to cultural resources affected by an undertaking is the first step in the Section 106 <br />process. Federal actions cannot be authorized until the Section 106 process is completed (36 <br />CFR 800.3). Final determinations ofNationa] Register eligibility and effect should be sought <br />from the controlling federal agencies in consultation with the State Historic Preservation <br />Officer (SHPO) and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. <br />As duected by the new 36 CFR800 regulations, this inventory included the seazch for <br />relevant traditional cultural properties. Based on the files search, field survey, and this <br />researchers personal knowledge, no such communities exist within the project area. <br />However, the field inspection identified and newly recorded four historic sites -three <br />farmsteads (5DT1274, SDT1275, and SDT1276) and one canal segment (SDT1277). <br />These sites were assessed in terms of professional discretionary observations <br />concerning the degree of effect, according to criteria outlined in 36 CFR 800.3. Although <br />sites SDT1274, SDT1275, and SDT1276 were field evaluated as not eligible, potential effects <br />of project were considered. The house structure (Feature 4) of site SDT1274 may be directly <br />or secondarily affected by the construction of a conveyor from the mine to the loadout area. <br />None of the buildings of site SDT1275 will be affected by the proposed loadout area or <br />conveyor construction, but the orchazd near the railroad track will be removed to allow for a <br />second track to be laid. Buildings at site SDT1276 will be removed for the construction of <br />the loadout area. The portion ofthe Fire Mountain Canal (SDT1277.1) that was field <br />evaluated as eligible for listing on the NRHP will not be directly affected by the proposed <br />• actions. <br />9 <br />
