Russell Means Environmental Protection Specialist Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety Department of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman St., Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 Re: Cotter Corporation, C -JD-8, Permit No. M-1984-014 (CHS #59738) Dear Mr. Means: o?,? onN ,1 ???11 ? tir„, V Thank you for your correspondence dated June 8, 2011 (received by our office on June 10, 2011) concerning the project listed above. A search of the Colorado Cultural Resource Inventory indicated that four cultural resources inventories have taken place within the proposed permit area with document numbers MN.LM.R60, MN.LM.NR89, MC.LM.NR92 and MN.LM.NR174. Five sites and two isolated fords have been recorded within the proposed permit area. The isolated find site numbers are 5MN.4712 and 5MN.4713. The five sites were recorded between 1977 and 2001 with the below listed determinations of eligibility. We recommend re-survey of sites after ten years, so our recommendation is that all five sites should be resurveyed. 5MN.4394 Field not eligible 1977 5MN.4709 Officially need data 1996 5MN.4710 Officially eligible 1996 5MN.4711 Officially not eligible 1996 5MN.5652 Field not eligible 2001 Our files contain incomplete information for this area, as most of Colorado has not yet been inventoried for cultural resources. As a result, there is the possibility that as yet unidentified cultural resources exist within the proposed permit area. Should human remains be discovered during mining activities, the requirements under State law CRS 24-80 part 13 apply and must be followed. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Dan Corson, Intergovernmental Services Director, at (303) 866-2673 or dan.corsongchs.state.co.us Sincerely, ? 410# 6 , jl***&'? 1°v Edward C.
