The Lake Meredith Outlet Ditch (5CW51) is officially eligible for the <br />National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). <br />We recommend that the proposed mining activities avoid this site. If site avoidance is not possible, we <br />recommend further consultation with our office in order to identify options to avoid, minimize, or <br />mitigate 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.duvallQchs.state.co.us. <br />Sinc y, <br />Edward C.
