Exhibit 7 Archeologic Information (MR -99) <br />0 GRAND RIVER INSTITUTE $ <br />Cultural Resources Management Consulting <br />October 7, 2011 <br />J.E. Stover and Associates, Inc. <br />2352 North 7 ' Street, Unit B <br />Grand Junction, CO 81501 <br />Attn: Jim Stover <br />Re: Class III Cultural Resources Inventory for the RDA #1 Expansion in Las Animas County, <br />Colorado, for New Elk Coal Company LLC <br />Dear Jim: <br />An intensive (pedestrian) inventory was conducted for the 180 acres included in the <br />project area on the 5' and 6`b of September 2011. It was noted that about 30 acres of that area <br />was previously disturbed by mine activities. One prehistoric site that is located on the southwest <br />boundary of the project area was newly recorded during the inventory. It is GRI's understanding <br />that the NECC plans to construct a road and excavate some test pits — activities that will occur in <br />the ephemeral channel in the center of the RDA #1 Expansion area. Accordingly, the proposed <br />project will not directly or adversely affect the prehistoric site. Please call me if you have any <br />questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />Carl Conner <br />Director <br />P.O. Box 3543 •'r Grand Junction, CO 81502 :- 970/245 -7868 FAX 970/245 -6317 <br />
