380 Class 111 Inventory, Colowyo Collom Mine Project <br />(0 NRHP EligibiliiyRecommendation and Project Effect Site 5MF4011 was recommended by <br />MAC as needing more data during the original recording to determine its NRHP eligibility status, <br />and the Colorado OAHP officially agreed with that assessment. However, the current inventory <br />evaluation of the site recommends that it is not eligible for inclusion on the NRHP. The portion of <br />the site considered to possess aeolian deposition during the previous recording was determined to <br />be only 10 -20 cm thick, with mixed colluvial gravels. An animal burrow in this area revealed coal <br />dirt about 10 cm below the surface, indicating that there is little if any potential for buried cultural <br />deposits within this area of the site. Overall; the site lacks a significant density and diversity of <br />artifacts in the assemblage, there are no extant dateable features, and the diagnostic artifacts on the <br />site have been collected. The site has no further potential to answer research questions concerning <br />toolstone procurement and lithic reduction strategies or subsistence and settlement patterns or to <br />provide significant information that would further the understanding of the prehistory of the region. <br />The site currently lies outside of the revised project boundary and will not be affected by the <br />C undertaking. In the future, if the site occurs within an expanded project boundary, there will be no <br />effect proposed t from the ro d ro'ect because the site is recommended as not eligible for the NRHP. <br />project <br />Cultural resource clearance is recommended, with no further work. <br />6.2.39 Site 5MF5298 <br />• <br />Site Type Historic homestead <br />Legal Locat ion: Section 17, T4N, R93 W <br />Landowner Private <br />Site Dimension 197 x 174 ft <br />Site Description Site 5MF5298 is located within the northeastern portion of the Colowyo Collom <br />Mine project area and was recorded in May 2003 by MAC for Ocean Energy Inc.'s Juniper 17 -1 well <br />pad project.
