Thisincludes the identification of any historic <br />properties (i.e. cultural resources which are eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic <br />Places) within the area of potential effects and determining whether the undertaking will have an <br />effect upon such properties. The State Historic Preservation Office, Native American tribes, <br />representatives of local governments, and applicants for Federal permits, licenses or other approval <br />are entitled to consultative roles in this process. <br />Our records indicate that only a very small portion of the proposed permit area addition has been <br />surveyed for cultural resources. It is our opinion that a cultural resources inventory should be <br />conducted to identify historic properties which may be affected by mining activities in this area. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Greg <br />Wolff, Compliance Coordinator, at (303) 866-4674. <br />Sincerely, <br />/~~ /, ( ~, <br />~ , <br />Georgianna Contiguglia <br />% State Historic Preservation Officer <br />GC/G:1W <br />~ •~~• ~• ~ <br />I3OO BROADWAY OENV[R COLORADO $023 TFL 3a3~866-3395 Fav ~f12/Rl,~_~~i , ...._..... ~ ~ . <br />'~c~ OFFICE of ARCHAEOLOGY and HISTORIC PRESERVATION <br />
