Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 365 (is building and structures on the site are in ruins, have poor physical integrity, and possess no significant engineering or architectural attributes of design, materials, or workmanship. The materials are of local origin. The site has no potential to further the understanding of local or regional historic settlement, subsistence and domestic activities, or socioeconomics patterns. The site is eligible for the NRHP under Criterion D and currently lies approximately 1,000 ft (305 m) outside of the northeastern boundary of the revised project boundary, but it is adjacent to the proposed access road and pipeline corridor. Disturbance to the site would cause an adverse effect. The site should be avoided until subsurface testing evaluations and data recovery excavations are completed. A testing and data recovery plan has been submitted as a separate document. Following this stipulation, cultural resource clearance is recommended. 6.2.32 Site 5MF4004 t Site Tyne Open camp Legal Locatio Section 22, T4N, R93W Landowner Private Site Dimensio 160 x 90 in Site Descripti Site 5MF4004 occurs outside the northeastern boundary of the current Colowyo Collom Mine project area and was recorded in 1995 by MAC for the Colowyo Coal Company's 1995 lease and exploration areas project. It was described as a Middle to Late Archaic period open camp located at 6,000 to 6,560 ft (1,829 to 1,999 m) on a gentle slope of the northern tip of a finger ridge that overlooks Wilson Creek, about 800 ft (244 m) to the west. Small bedrock outcrops occur across the site (Figure: 6.223). The site was observed to be in fair condition, and the artifact assemblage included an estimated 50 to 100 tertiary flakes, numerous scattered heat - altered sandstone and angular fractured quartzite fragments, one utilized flake, and four Archaic projectile points that were collected. The sediments at the site were characterized as shallow (approximately 10 cm) residual brown sandy loam with angular sandstone gravels and slope- washed residuum.
