L <br /> <br />Introduction <br />Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Ina (MAC) of Eagle, Colorado conducted a Class III <br />cultural resource inventory of four proposed seismic lines, three drill holes and two shaft azeas. <br />These are associated with Twentymile Coal Company's (TCC} 2004 exploration program for the <br />Foidel.Creek Mine, Routt County, Colorado (Figure 1, 2, and 3). Table 1 summarizes the <br />location of the nine segments of this project. The project azea is located within portions of <br />section 14, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 34, and 35, TSN, R87W; section 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, and 17, TSN, <br />R86W. The four seismic lines total approximately 8.5 miles in length. Two access roads were <br />inventoried for the shaft areas and equaled approximately 1.9 miles. These lineaz surveys <br />amounted to 126 acres of inventory. Block inventories were conducted azound the three <br />proposed drilling holes and two shaft locations which amounted to approximately 28.5 acres. <br />The seismic lines and access roads were inventoried to a total corridor width of 100 ft and the <br />blocks measured 500 feet each side. In all approximately 154.6 acres were inventoried for the <br />entire project. Two of the drill holes and the portions of seismic line in section 14 aze ott land <br />owned by the State of Colorado. About 17.1 acres are located on State land and the remaining <br />137.5 acres aze on privately owned ]and. <br />Table 1 Proposed seismic lines <br /> i <br />U length acres inventoried' <br />line name beg <br />nning <br />TM (NAD27) ending UTM (NAD27) (m0 state private <br />WM-SM-03 13; 319717mE; 4472623mN 13; 322802mE; 4469636mN 2.7 2.3 30.4 <br />VJM-SM-04 13; 321574mE; 4470826mN 13; 319333mE; 4468403mN 2.2 - 26.7 <br />WM-SM-OS 13; 321736mE; 4471476mN 13; 318584mE; 4470087mN 2.3 - 27.9 <br />WM-SM-06 13; 319717tnE; 4472623mN 13; 319675mE; 4470588mN 1.3 3.4 12.4 <br />Table 2 Proposed drill holes and shafts <br /> <br />M Access acres inventoried <br />name UT <br />(NAA27) Length (ft) state private <br />2004CH01 13; 326855rnE; 4475495mN na 5.7 - <br />2004CH02 ]3; 324740mE; 4475150mN na 5.7 - <br />2004CH04 13; 320255mE; 4470250mN na - 5.7 - <br />Bleeder Shaft 13; 322589mE; 4472542mN 7114 - 22.0 <br />Air Intake Shaft 13; 322476mE; 4472730mN 2930 - 12.4 <br /> <br />
