2.04.4 General Introduction <br />Tab 5, Cultural Resources, contains reports of cultural <br />resource investigations conducted by Western Cultural Resource <br />Management, Inc. (WCRM, Inc.) in 1919 and by Nickens and <br />Associates in 1986 and 1988. <br />Cultural resource investigations were conducted by WCRM, Inc. <br />for inclusion in a permit application submitted in April 1980 <br />and approved in May 1983 as Permit No. C-008-81. Map 2 of the <br />WCRM, Inc. report and Exhibit 5-1 of Tab 5 identify the areas <br />encompassed by these investigations. <br />In March of 1986, Nickens and Associates conducted cultural <br />resource investigations for an area encompassing proposed <br />mining areas 2 and 3 in the SE#NE# of Section 36 (T47NR16W) and <br />the SW}NW} of Section 31 (T46NR15W). Exhibit 12-2 "Operations <br />. Plan" details mining areas 2 and 3 and Figure 1-2 of the report <br />by Nickens and Associates identifies the study area (see Tract <br />I). While these mining areas are located within the current <br />permit area boundary, cultural resources investigations <br />were not previously conducted in these areas because mining <br />related disturbances occurred before the implementation of <br />SMCRA and the Colorado Permanent Regulatory Program. <br />In March of 1986 and 1988, Nickens and Associates conducted <br />cultural resource investigations far areas encompassing the <br />proposed Nucla East mining area. Exhibit 12-3, Operations Plan <br />- Nucla East, shows the Nucla East permit area and Figure 1-2 <br />of Addendum 5-1 (March 1986 report) and Figure 1 of Attachment <br />1 (March 1988 report) identify the study area. <br /> <br />5-1 Revised 04/11/88 <br />
