Prehistoric sites SLA7655 and SLA7658 <br />were both determined to be not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by our office on <br />January 28, 1998 by the BLM. However, our files contain incomplete information for this area, as most of <br />Colorado has not yet been inventoried for cultural resources. As a result, there is the possibility that as yet <br />unidentified cultural resources exist within the proposed permit area. <br />Should human remains be discovered during mining activities, the requirements under State law CRS 24-80 part <br />13 apply and must be followed. <br />Please note that our review of your project is expedited when you indicate the extent of the proposed permit area <br />on a legible portion of the appropriate and clearly identified 7.5 minute USGS topographic map. <br />Thank you for [he opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Greg Wolff, <br />Compliance Coordinator, at (303} 866-4674. <br />Sincerely, <br />eorgianna Contiguglia <br />State Historic Preservation Officer <br />GCIGAW <br />
