The supplemental survey report and site form (sent and received <br />via electronic -mail on December 2, 2011) has enabled us to complete our evaluation. <br />Following our review of the information provided, we agree that site 5LAl2859 requires additional <br />work (need data for the National Register of Historic Places) to sufficiently assess the archaeological <br />potential of this resource. Assuming this site is avoided by the area of potential effect (APE), we <br />recommend a finding of no historic properties affected for the proposed project. <br />Please remember that the consultation process does involve other consulting parties such as local <br />governments and Tribes, which as stipulated in 36 CFR 800.3 are required to be notified of the <br />undertaking. Additional information provided by the local government, Tribes or other consulting <br />parties may cause our office to re- evaluate our comments and recommendations. <br />Should unidentified archaeological resources be discovered in the course of the project, work must be <br />interrupted until the resources have been evaluated in terms of the National Register of Historic Places <br />eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with our office. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Mark <br />Tobias, Section 106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866 -4674 or mark.tobiasastate.co.us <br />Sincerely, <br />G�J <br />-f4,.-Edward C.
