Smith, Ragle Mtn. Pit (File No. M-2010-019) (CHS #57043) <br /> <br />Dear Mr. C2apla: <br />Thank you for your correspondence dared April 30, 2010 (received by our office on May 3, 2010) <br />regarding the subject project. <br />A search of the Colorado Cultural Resource Inventory databa.;e indicates that several cultural resource <br />inventories have been conducted near the proposed project area and at least one historic property <br />is <br />located therein. Site 5AA663 was recorded in 1979 and it was recommended that additional data were <br />needed in order to assess its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRI-IP). We <br />recommend that the operator avoid these sites or that additional inventory be conducted to determine <br />the effect of the proposed project on these resources. If site avoidance is not possible, we recommend <br />further consulultion with our office in order to identify options to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the <br />adverse effect to the sites. <br />Should hurnan 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 slvna.duvallra?chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
