Limited - Results Archaeological Survey Form (Page 2 of 8) <br />II. DESCRIPTION OF UNDERTAKING / PROJECT <br />10. Type of Undertaking: Five core holes will be drilled and used to investigate the potential for <br />subsurface coal deposits. A proposed waterline 7500 ft length and a 5800 -ft long powerline will <br />be constructed as part of the Twentymile West Mine facility. <br />11. Size of Undertaking (acres): 0.7 acres Size of Project (if different) 9.4 acres <br />12. Nature of the Anticipated Disturbance: Each drill site will consist of vegetation clearing and <br />surface leveling of a small area not exceeding 50ft x 50ft. A truck - mounted coring machine will <br />core the subsurface for potential buried coal deposits. Locations will be accessed by existing <br />roads and trails and no additional ground disturbance will occur. The proposed waterline totals <br />7500 ft in length, with an alternate route of 3500 ft in length. The proposed powerline is <br />approximately 5800 ft in length. The routes will be collocated within a 50 -ft construction corridor <br />the entire distance unless the alternate waterline route is selected. All but 300 ft of the <br />alignment has been previously covered by MAC in a block survey for the West Mine Subsidence <br />project in 2007 (O'Brien 2007); no sites were recorded near or within the current project area. <br />The remaining 300 ft X 200 ft wide survey corridor was inventoried for the current project. <br />13. Comments: <br />III. PROJECT LOCATION <br />Please attach a photocopy of USGS Quad clearly showing the project location. The Quad should be clearly labeled with <br />the Prime Meridian, Township, Range, Section(s), Quad map name, size, and date. Please do not reduce or enlarge the <br />photocopy. <br />14. Description: The proiect area is located approximately 10 miles northwest of Oak Creek. Take <br />Routt County (CR) 27 west out of Oak Creek 13 miles to CR 37. Take CR37 west for 0.1 mile to <br />a dirt road. Travel an additional 0.1 mile to a wire gate where TCW009 is found approximately <br />700ft southwest of the gate on the north side of Fish Creek. The remaining four drill sites <br />(TCW008, 10, 11 & 12) are to the south and east of Fish Creek. To access the waterline /pipeline <br />segment, travel south on CR37 half a mile to a dirt two -track that veers off to the west. The <br />survey segments are approximately 3/4 mile to the west from this point. <br />15. Legal Location: Quad.
