In <br />addition, blocks of land were also surveyed for archeologi- <br />cal remains, This letter concerns only a portion of the <br />lands involved in the plans projected by Sheridan Enter- <br />prizes, The surveyed lands are found in: the NEB; and <br />SE'y Sec. 5,~ the SW~ Sec. 4, the P7~ of Sec. 9, and the 547' <br />Sec. 27, of T, 75, R 102w', 6th P.M. The surveyed areas <br />are marked on the attached copy of the Howard Canyon quad- <br />rangle map, The areas surveyed are outlined in red on the <br />attachment, Acreages adjacent to the survey area •aere not <br />intensively inspected because of the urgent nature of this <br />survey. However, a general reconnaissance was conducted of <br />suspect areas immediately adjacent to the project area. <br />No surface manifestations of cultural resources were <br />observed, therefore it is our recommendation that no miti- <br />gatory procedures be enacted by the Bureau of Land Manage- <br />ment. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Lfy ~ f. ~l <br />Carl E.
