OFFICE of ARCHAEOLOGY and HISTORIC PRESERVATION <br />June 12, 2009 <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Projection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining, & Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm. 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />JFPF (AM -03) <br />? JUN 17 2009 <br />D Agee of Reciamabon, <br />Miring and Safety <br />Re: Denison Mines (USA) Corp., Sunday Mine (Permit No. M-1977-285) (CHS #54404) <br />Dear Mr. Oswald: <br />Thank you for your correspondence dated June 10, 2009 (received by our office on June 12, 2009) <br />regarding the subject project. <br />A search of the Colorado Cultural Resource Inventory database indicated that several cultural resource <br />inventories have been conducted in the vicinity of the proposed permit area, however no historic <br />properties have been recorded therein. Our files contain incomplete information for this area, as most <br />of Colorado has not yet been inventoried for cultural resources. As a result, there is the possibility that <br />as yet unidentified cultural resources exist within the proposed permit area. <br />Since there is Federal agency involvement in this project (as the proposed permit area is located on <br />BLM land), please note that it is the responsibility of the Federal agency to meet the requirements of <br />Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act as set forth in 36 CFR 800 ("Protection of <br />Historic Properties"). This includes the identification of any historic properties (i.e. cultural <br />resources which are eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places) within the area <br />of potential effects and determining whether the undertaking will have an effect upon such <br />properties. The State Historic Preservation Office, Native American tribes, representatives of local <br />governments, and applicants for Federal permits, licenses or other approval are entitled to <br />consultative roles in this process. <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.duvalIgghs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
