A copy of that concurrence letter is attached for your reference. <br />However, we greatly appreciate your follow-up as it appears that while we have the associated site <br />forms for the sites recorded during the block survey, the report was misplaced. We now have a copy <br />of the report, which indicates that adequate cultural resource inventory has been conducted in the area <br />of the Elk Creek and Sanborn Creek Mine, and that a finding of no historic properties affected is <br />appropriate for the proposed activities associated with the subject Technical Revision Application No. <br />60 (M-60) Bear Creek Fansite Facility. <br />Should unidentified archaeological resources be discovered during the course of the project, work must <br />be interrupted until the resources have been evaluated in terms of the National Register of Historic <br />Places eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with our office. <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 (303) 866-4674 or shina.duvallc@chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
