Based on the nature of the <br />proposed project, in addition to previous inventory and disturbances in the area of proposed activity, it is our <br />opinion that a finding of no adverse effect is appropriate for the proposed activities. <br />Should unidentified archaeological resources be discovered to the course of the project, work must be interrupted <br />until the resources have been evaluated in terms of the National Register of Historic Places eligibility criteria (36 <br />CFR 60.4) to consultation with our office. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Mark Tobias, <br />Section 106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866 -4674 or mark,tobias gstate.co.us. <br />S cerely, <br />LJ <br />Edward C.
