From these surveys, 46 sites <br />have been identified within Sections 4, 5, 8, and 9 of Township 50N, Range 19W. From the map <br />provided, it appears that the proposed project area is centered on the intersection point of these four <br />sections. If this is accurate, it does not appear that any of the previously recorded sites will be <br />impacted. However, if this is not accurate, our office recommends that the proposed mining activities <br />should avoid adverse effects to sites that have been determined eligible or those for which eligibility <br />remains unevaluated for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). If site avoidance is not <br />possible, we recommend further consultation with our office in order to identify options to avoid, <br />minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect to the sites. <br />Should human remains be discovered during mining activities the requirements under State law CRS <br />24-80 part 13 apply and must be followed. <br />Please note that our review of your project is expedited when you indicate the extent of the proposed permit <br />area on a legible portion of the appropriate and clearly identified 7.5 minute USGS topographic map. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Shina <br />duVall, Section 106 Compliance Coordinator, at (303) 866-4674 or shina.duvallnchs.state.co.us. <br />Sinc <br />Edward C.
