<br />3. The operator is responsible for informing all persons who are associated with the project <br />operations that they will be subject to prosecution for knowingly disturbing paleontological or <br />archaeological sites, or for collecting artifacts or fossils. If artifacts or fossil materials are <br />uncovered during any project or construction activities, the operator is to immediately stop <br />activities in the immediate area of the find that might further disturb such materials, and <br />immediately contact the authorized officer (AO). Within five working days the AO will inform <br />the operator as to: <br />o whether the materials-appear to be of noteworthy scientific interest <br />• the mitigation measures the operator will likely have to undertake before the site can be <br />used (assuming in situ preservation is not feasible). <br />• If the operator wishes, at any time, to relocate activities to avoid the expense of mitigation <br />and/or the delays associated with this process, the AO will assume responsibility for <br />whatever recordation and stabilization of the exposed materials may be required. Otherwise, <br />the operator will be responsible for mitigation cost. The AO will provide technical and <br />procedural guidelines for the conduct of mitigation. Upon verification from the AO that the <br />required mitigation has been completed, the operator will then be allowed to resume <br />construction. <br />4. All excavations into the underlying rock formation during pad and road construction must be <br />monitored by,,an approved paleontologist at the time of excavation and during the construction of <br />the pipeline from the access road 1,000 feet east (see attached map). <br />5. Please notify our office at a minimum of 24 hours prior to the commencement of construction <br />and drilling activities. <br />If there any questions, please contact Paul Daggett Mining Engineer at (970) 878-3819. <br />-- - Sincerely, - --- - - - <br />7 <br />Kent Walter <br />Field Manager <br />Enc <br />Enc <br />cc <br />Travis Marshall <br />Grand Junction Field Office <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />101 South 3`d, Suite 301 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81501
