Site 5HF398 was last recorded in 1981. It was determined to be eligible for the . <br />National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) based on a field assessment. We recommend that the <br />operator avoid this site or that additional inventory be conducted to determine the effect of the <br />proposed project on this resource. If site avoidance is not possible, we recommend further. <br />consultation with our office in order to identify options to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the adverse <br />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 1.06 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866-4674 or shina.duvql1@chs.state.cO.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
