However, our files contain <br />incomplete information for this area, as most of Colorado has not yet been inventoried for cultural <br />resources. As a result, there is the possibility that as yet unidentified cultural resources exist within the <br />proposed permit area. <br />Should human remains be discovered during mining activities, the requirements under State law CRS <br />24-80 part 13 apply and must be followed. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Shina <br />duVall, Section 106 Compliance Manager, at t (303) 866-4674 or shina.duvall@chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />ward C.
