ABSTRACT <br />Juniper Coal Company plans to drill 41 exploratory coal core holes to located coal seams <br />in Federal Deposits. These deposits are located beneath private land. Only l8 of these proposed <br />core holes are located in aeeas not previously surveyed. Twenty-one of the proposed core holes <br />have been covered by two previous surveys (BLM 10-79 and 17-82). Of the 18 core holes not <br />located in previously surveyed areas, nine consist of isolated core hole locations (BLM06A, <br />BLM06B, BLM06C, BLM06F, BLM06G, BLM061, BLM06J, BLM06K and BLM06L). I~'ine <br />more core holes and a possible future mine portal aze clustered in sections 35 and 36 and a 119 <br />acre block was surveyed to cover the proposed core hole and portal locations. Core holes <br />BLM06Y and BLM06W were revisited since they are in the vicinity of previously recorded sites <br />(SRT283 and SRT284). The core holes and survey block are distributed across TSN R89W in <br />Sections 4, 9-]0, 15-16, 21-27, 35-36 of Principal Meridian 6 and are located on Breeze <br />Mountain, Hayden, Hayden Gulch, and Pagoda 7.5' USGS quadrangles. The entire project is <br />located in the Williams Fork Mountains in north central Colorado. The survey has been <br />conducted by Sally Metcalf, Randall Tumer, and Rita Sulkosky of Metcalf Archaeological <br />Consultants (MAC). One new prehistoric site, recommended as not eligible for inclusion on the <br />National Register for Historic Places (NRHP), has been located and recorded. P.n attempt to <br />relocate sites SRT283 and SRT284 was made, however, neither site was.found within the vicinity <br />of drilling activities. <br />iii <br />
