• Abstract <br />This report describes the Class III cultural resource inventory on a parcel of Ute Mountain Ute Lands <br />in the Hay Gulch Area, southwest of Hesperus, La Plata County, Colorado. The land parcel surveyed overlies <br />a proposed underground coal mining operation. The field work was done on December 2, 1994 by Laurens <br />C. Hammack, Complete Archaeological Service Associates (CASA) at the request of Thomas Bird, National <br />King Coal. The inventory was accomplished under the provisions of Bureau of Indian Affairs Permit CRSA <br />92-14 and Ute Mountain Ute Operating Permit 95-157 issued to CASA. <br />Approx;mately 60 acres was inventoried on the top and upper slopes of a mesa south and <br />overlooking Hay Gulch on Ute Mountain Ute Lands. There will be no surface disturbance as all activity will <br />be confined to underground coal mining operations, a minimum of 300 feet below ground surface. No cultural <br />resources were recorded within the area surveyed. Cultural resource clearance is recommended for the survey <br />parcel at the location described in this report. <br />• <br />C, <br />1 Ji.me 1995 \ <br />
