State Reg. Federal Reg. <br /> CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> 2.04.4 INTRODUCTION <br /> Western Cultural Resource ManagemerIt,_Inc. (WORM, Inc.) was <br /> contracted by Peabody Coal Company to survey the Nucla Mine <br /> site and publish the following report. WCRM, Inc. found two <br /> aboriginal open campsites (5MN1257 and 5MN1258) containing <br /> chipped and ground stone artifacts and both sites are within <br /> the proposed permit area (see Exhibit 5-1 for location and <br /> page 8 for inventory results) . WORM, Inc. recommends that <br /> neither site be found eligible to the National Register of <br /> Historic Places (see recommendations, page 11) . <br /> In the recommendations and conclusions section, KRM, Inc. <br /> states that both sites found within the permit area have <br /> already received extensive disturbances by farming and <br /> road building. WCRM, Inc. made every effort to record <br /> as many artifacts as possible from both sites. <br /> Site 5MN1257 will be disturbed by mining operations. Due <br /> to the conclusions stated in the report, Peabody Coal Company <br /> is not planning on protecting this site from further disturb- <br /> ance. <br /> Site 5DV1258 will be disturbed by routing a temporary county <br /> road through this area (Exhibit 12-1) . Protection of this area <br /> is not being contemplated for the same reasons as stated above. <br /> Two sites have been identified within a one mile radius of the <br /> mining area (see page 20) . These sites are either aboriginal <br /> open lithic scatters or campsites. Peabody feels that, based <br /> on the report, the Nucla raining operation will not cause further <br /> disturbance to these sites. <br /> 5-1 A°'P ^� <br /> 1GQ.,, <br />
