The following areas appear to have not been surveyed for cultural resources: T3N, R93Sa Sec. 9 - all sec. 4 - all _ Sec. 3 - all except N 1/2 or NE 1/4 Sec. 2 - all except E 1/4 and [4 2/3 of N l/2 of NSA 1/4 T.: V, R93S9 Sec. 33 - E 3/4 except E 1/2 of AZ9 1/4 Sec. 35 - S9 1/2 Sec. 36 - E 1/2 of SE 1/4 Sec. 27 - S~ 1/2 and N 1/2 of NE 1/4 Sec. 26 - N 1/2 of NS9 1/4 Sec. 22 - E 3/4 Sec. 23 - S 1/2 The above areas must be surveyed for cultural resources and a report submitted before the mine plan is approved. • Res_oonse The entire mine plan area was surveyed by Lischka in 1975 at the time the proposed alternate railroad routes were surveyed. Sites located within the mine plan area are discussed in the "Cultural and Paleontolog- ical Resource Inventory and Evaluation of the Proposed S9. R. Grace & Co. Railroad Corridors and Colowyo Mine Site, Moffat County, Colorado" by Joseph J. Lisch}:a: The above report can be found in the Arc'-,aeolog_cal Information Exhibit, Exhibit 5. The sites are also located on the Historical and Archaeological Sites Map, Map 16. Additional discussion was also provided in Rule 2.04.4, Cultural and Historical Resource Information, Pages 8 - 13. The proposed warehouse/maintenance construction area was also surveyed by Lischka. No sites were found in this area. The Historical and Archaeological Sites Map, b7ap 16, has been revised to include site numbers, isolated finds, the warehouse/maintenance area surv~_y, the Gossard loadout area, a transportation corridor that covered a portion of the present access road, and the 5/8 portion • of Section 11 that was surveyed.
