Because the map that was provided does not clearly indicate the topographic location of <br />the proposed project, it is not clear if either of these sites are located within the proposed permit area. <br />Site 5HN380 (Red Cloud Mine) is recommended as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places <br />(NRHP) based on a field assessment. Site 5HN339 (Packer Massacre Site) remains unevaluated in <br />terms of its potential NRHP eligibility. We recommend that mining-related activities avoid both 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.duvaUgchs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />dward C.
