Site 5MT16636 is officially eligible for the <br />National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). <br />We recommend that the proposed mining activities avoid these sites. If site avoidance is not possible, <br />we recommend further consultation with our office in order to identify options to minimize or mitigate <br />the adverse effect to the sites. <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 (303) 866-4674 or shina.duvaU@chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
