If adverse effects to these sites cannot be avoided appropriate measures to tniniinize or <br />mitigate the effects should be developed in consultation with our office. <br />If previously unknown archaeological resources are discovered during project activities, work must be <br />interrupted until the resources have been evaluated in terms of the National Register of Historic Places <br />eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with. our office. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Joseph <br />Saldibar, Architectural Services Coordinator, at 303-866-3741. <br />Sincerely, ~ ' 1 <br />i~~~~ VU <br />`-~ Georgianna Conriguglia <br />State Historic Preservation Officer <br />Re; Expansion of existing mining at Colowyo Coal Mine (Permit No. C-1981-019) <br />Permit Revision Application No. 2 (PR-02) <br />~i 7 i 7 7 [ i T 7 ~ ~ 7 ~ ~ : 7 ~~ ~ [ ~ 13 [ ~ 1: ~ ~Y~Z~ I ~ ~ r <br />1300 BROADWAY DENVER COLORADO 80203 TEL 303/866-3395 Fax 303/866-2711 www.coloradohistory-oahp.org <br />
