The project azea is located in an area generally mapped as the Uinta Formation which the BLM, <br />WRFO has classified as a Class 4 fossil bearing formation meaning it is known to produce a high <br />occurrence of significant fossils. A paleontological monitor shall be present before and during all <br />construction if it is necessary to excavate into underlying bedrock. <br />5. Please notify our office at a minimum of 24 hours prior to the commencement of drilling <br />activities. <br />Also due to the age of the original archeological survey any future surface disturbing activities may <br />___ _ _ require a new cultural surve prior to the commencement of construction activities <br />If there any questions, please contact Paul Daggett Mining Engineer at (970) 878-3819. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Kent Walter <br />Field Manager <br />Enc <br />
