Site 5ME11269 recorded in 1997 by Grand River Institute. It was recommended <br />that'additional data were needed in order to assess its eligibility for the National Register of Historic <br />Places (NRHP). Site 5ME13044, State Highway 141 was recorded in 2002 by Associated Cultural <br />Resource Experts. It was recommended as eligible for the NRHP. We recommend that the operator <br />avoid these sites or that additional inventory be conducted to determine the effect of the proposed <br />project on these resources. If site avoidance is not possible, we recommend further consultation with <br />our office in order to identify options to avoid, minimiz or 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.duvall(2chs. state. cO.us <br />Sincerely, <br />'.� 4 . <br />Edward C.
