344 Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project <br />i <br />Because the site occurs outside of the mine permit boundary and is recommended as not eligible for <br />the NRHP, there will be no effect from the proposed project. Cultural resource clearance is <br />recommended, with no ftu work. <br />6.2.23 Site 5MF1936 <br />Site Tyne Open camp <br />Legal Location Section 21, T4N, R93W <br />Landowner Private <br />Site Dimensions 460 x 200 m <br />Site Descripti Site 5MF1936 is located adjacent to but just outside the northeast portion of the <br />Colowyo Collom Mine project boundary. The site was originally recorded during the Danforth Hills <br />C Coal Lease Area in 1984 by Nickens and Associates. It was then re- evaluated for the Colowyo Coal <br />Company lease and exploration areas project by MAC in 1995. The original recording described the <br />site as a lithic scatter and possible open camp situated at 6,580 to 6,600 ft (2,006 to 2,012 m) on the <br />eastern edge of a north - trending finger ridge that overlooks Wilson Creek to the north and east <br />(Figure 6.211). No soil description was provided, and the vegetation was described as sagebrush, <br />rabbitbrush, prickly pear cactus, and Indian ricegrass, with Gambel oak, pinyon pine, and juniper in <br />the vicinity around the site. One hearth was noted at the north end of the site, and artifacts consisted <br />of chest and quartzite utilized flakes, tools and flakes. Chert cobbles were observed eroding out of <br />a small wash at the south end of the site. <br />The site was revisited in 1995 and the southern portion of the site was extended to the west. The <br />feature recorded during the original survey in the northern portion of the site was relocated and was <br />considered to be a surface manifestation. It measured 50 x 50 cm and consisted of gray- stained <br />residuum and small burned sandstone slab fragments, but no artifacts or charcoal flecking was noted. <br />Flakes consisted of about 150 small white tertiary flakes, with other colors of chert and quartzite <br />flakes as well. Sediments at the site were characterized as shallow and residual with slopewashed <br />TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
