On August 27, 1982 <br />site 5GF741 was determined to be potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This <br />information has previously been conveyed to your office in a letter from the Colorado Historical Society dated <br />November 7, 1996. Please note that our previous correspondence regarding Permit Renewal 6 (RN-6) dated <br />December 5, 2005 erroneously stated that this site had been determined not eligible for the NRHP. <br />Consequently, we recommend that the proposed activities avoid site 5GF741. If site avoidance is not possible, <br />we recommend further consultation with our office in order to identify options to avoid, minimize, or mitigate <br />adverse effects to the site. <br />Please note that our review of your project is expedited when you indicate the extent of the proposed permit <br />area on a legible portion of the appropriate and clearly identified 7.5 minute USGS topographic map. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Greg Wolff, <br />Compliance Coordinator, at (303) 866-4674. <br />Sincerely, <br />?4 <br />eorgianna Contiguglia <br />State Historic Preservation Officer <br />GC/GAW <br />• •:•?• • • <br />1300 BROADWAY DENVER COLORADO 80203 TEL 303/866-3395 FAx 303/866-2711 www.coloradohistory-oahp.org
