3.3 CULTURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES INFORMATION <br />3.3.1 Mine <br />The North Thompson Creek Mines have been in operation since 1952 and <br />no new surface disturbance areas are anticipated. Wo cultural or <br />historic resources are listed in, or proposed for inclusion in, the <br />National Register of Historic Places for the mine area. <br />3.3.2 Loadout <br />A review of the files of the State Archaeological and the State <br />Preservation Office in September, 1981, indicated that there are no <br />recorded archaeological resources in the project area, In fall 1979 <br />and 1980, Powers Elevation performed pedestrian surveys and shovel <br />tests of the site. This investigation revealed that the site con- <br />tained a few surficial artifacts, no features or evidence of fire <br />• use, and no apparent subsurface deposits. The potential for subsur- <br />face deposits is small, as the soil is less than 20 cm. deep in most <br />places. Therefore, the site is unlikely to yield information impor- <br />tant to the cultural history of the area. The site does not appear to <br />be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic <br />Places. Results of this survey have been submitted to the Office of <br />the State Archaeologist for review of compliance and adequacy. See <br />Appendix 3-B for more detailed information. <br /> <br />3-12 <br />
