Because of the scale of the map that was provided, it is difficult to clearly see the <br />topographic location of the proposed project. As a result, it is not clear if any of these sites are located <br />within the proposed permit area. Sites 5RB661 and 5RB4692 are recommended as not eligible for the <br />National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) based on field assessments. Site 5RB4190 needs data <br />before an eligibility assessment can be made. We recommend that mining-related activities avoid all <br />sites. <br />Should human remains be discovered during resource extraction activities the requirements under State <br />law CRS 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 <br />proposed permit area on a legible portion of the appropriate and clearly identified 7.5 minute <br />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.duvall cr,chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />I <br />Edward C.
