However, our files contain incomplete information for this area, as most of <br />Colorado has not yet been inventoried for cultural resources. As a result, there is the possibility that as yet <br />unidentified cultural resources exist within that portion of the permit area which has not been surveyed. <br />It appears from the documentation provided that portions of this project area may fall on land <br />administered by the Bureau of Land Management Grand Junction Field Office. In the event there is <br />Federal agency involvement (such as permitting or oversight), please note that it is the responsibility of <br />the Federal agency to meet the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act as <br />set forth in 36 CFR 800 ("Protection of Historic Properties"). This includes the identification of any <br />historic properties (i.e. cultural resources which are eligible to be listed in the National Register of <br />Historic Places) within the area of potential effects and determining whether the undertaking will have <br />an effect upon such properties. The State Historic Preservation Office, Native American tribes, <br />representatives of local governments, and applicants for Federal permits, licenses or other approval are <br />entitled to consultative roles in this process. <br />Should human remains be discovered during mining activities, the requirements under State law CRS 24-80 <br />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 shin a.duvaU@chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, /2?i <br />ichols <br />State Historic Preservation Officer <br />ECN/SAD <br /> <br />1300 BROADWAY DENVER COLORADO 80203 TEL 303/866-3395 FAx 303/866-2711 www.coloradohistory-oahp.org
