Gc1 OFFICE of ARCHAEOLOGY and HISTORIC PRESERVATION <br />December 29, 2009 <br />Joseph J. Dudash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm. 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Bowie No. 2 Mine (Permit No. C-1996-083) <br />Technical Revision Application No. 66 (TR-66) <br />Terror Creek Vent Shaft (CHS #56250) <br />Dear Mr. Dudash: <br />Thank you for your correspondence dated December 22, 2009 (received by our office on December <br />28, 2009) regarding the subject project. <br />A search of the Colorado Cultural Resource Inventory database indicates that several cultural resource <br />inventories have been conducted near the proposed project area and at least one historic properties is <br />located nearby. Site 5DT868 was last recorded in 2007 by Smith Environmental, Inc. It was <br />recommended that additional data were needed in order to assess its eligibility for the National Register <br />of Historic Places (NRHP). We recommend that the operator avoid this site or that additional <br />inventory be conducted to determine the effect of the proposed project on this resource. If site <br />avoidance is not possible, we recommend further consultation with our office in order to identify <br />options to avoid, minimize, 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.duvaU@chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />dward C.
