Proposed Limestone Quarry Access Road and Overview Cultural Resources Inventory <br />ABSTRACT/MANAGEMENT SUMMARY <br />An intensive pedestrian cultural resources inventory was performed for a proposed access road <br />' approximately 5 miles south of Pueblo in unincorporated Pueblo County, Colorado. The legal <br />location of the survey area is the Sections 1, 12, and 13, T22S, R65W. Work included a file <br />search, an intensive pedestrian survey covering approximately 42 acres, a reconnaissance <br />survey and overview survey of a proposed limestone quarry area, and the development of a <br />model for prehistoric site location and recommendations for this area. New segments of three <br />previously recorded cultural resources were found within the proposed quarry area and crossed <br />by the proposed access road. These are the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (5PE1776.8), the <br />' Colorado and Southern Railroad (5PE4162.2), and the Donnelly Floodwater Ditch (5PE1915.2). <br />Two new cultural resources were located during the intensive survey of the proposed access <br />' road. These are a segment of the Edson Ditch (4PE4191.1) and the Montoya Homestead <br />(5PE4192). <br /> <br />Both of the previously recorded railroads have been officially determined eligible for the National <br />' Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Donnelly Floodwater Ditch has been officially <br />determined not eligible. It is recommended herein that these same evaluations should apply to <br />' the segments of these resources contained within the proposed project area. It is also <br />recommended that the Colorado State Historic Preservation Officer be consulted concerning <br />' any impacts to the railroads. The two newly recorded sites are recommend to be not eligible for <br />the National Register of Historic Places and no further work should be required at these <br />locations. <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />UIRS
