Site 5SA106, the Middleton Townsite was recommended as needing <br />additional data before an assessment of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) <br />could be made. Site 5SA867, the Hamlet Mine Complex has been determined to be eligible for the <br />NRHP based on a field evaluation. We recommend that the operator avoid these sites or that <br />additional inventory be conducted to determine the effect of the proposed project on these resources. <br />If site avoidance is not possible, we recommend further consultation with our office in order to <br />identify options to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect to the sites. <br />Should human remains be discovered during mining activities the requirements under State law CRS <br />24-80 part 13 apply and must be followed. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Shina <br />duVall, Section 106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866-4674 or shina.duvall C ,chs.state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />1106 l <br />Edward C.
