A cultural resource survey of the permit area and re-evaluatuion of <br />the two sites are needed in order to assess whether there are sites eligible for the National Register of <br />Historic Places (NRHP). If site avoidance is not possible, we recommend further consultation with <br />our office in order to 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 Dan <br />Corson, Intergovernmental Services Director, at (303) 866-2673 or dan.corsongchs.state.co.us <br />Sincerely, <br />Az Edward C.
