This includes the identification of any <br />historic properties (i.e. cultural resources which are eligible for or are listed in the NRHP) within the <br />area 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 />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.duvall@chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
