Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 361 (� NRHP Eligibility Recommendation and Project Effect Site 5MF4002 was recommended as not eligible for the NRHP during the 1995 field evaluation and assessment, and the Colorado OAHP officially accepted that recommendation. The current inventory evaluation also concurs with that assessment. The site is not associated with extraordinary historic events, and Harry Orr is not a person of extraordinary historic significance. The site lacks physical integrity and does not embody significant attributes of design, materials, or workmanship, and it has no potential to contain significant intact cultural deposits that would further our understanding of the region's history. The site currently lies within the mine permit boundary and may be affected by the undertaking. Because the site is in ruins and not eligible for the NRHP, there will be no project effect. Cultural resource clearance is recommended, with no further work. 6.2.31 Site 5MF4003 l Site Tyne Historic homestead /prehistoric open camp Legal Locati Sections 21 and 22, T4N, R93W Landowner Private Site Dimensions 902 x 295 ft (275 x 90 m) Site Descript Site 5MF4003 occurs outside of the northeastern portion of the project area boundary. It was originally recorded by MAC in July 1995 as part of the Colowyo Coal Company 1995 lease and exploration Class III inventory. The site was defined as a multicomponent locality that included a prehistoric open camp and a historic homestead site (Figure 6.221). Located at 6,420 ft (1,957 m), the site consisted of a long section of the Wilson Creek cutbank that exhibited eroding cultural material (Figure 6.222). The eroded cultural material included 100+ white chert tertiary flakes, numerous heat - altered rock fragments, three manos, one quartzite flake, three obsidian flakes, a chert endscraper, and one utilized flake. The majority of the material was eroding out of the western cutbank of Wilson Creek. The original site recorders estimated the depth of the buried cultural deposits at approximately 30 cm below surface. 47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc.
