As such, <br />we recommend that the operator avoid these sites or that additional inventory be conducted to determine the <br />effect of the proposed project on these resources. If site avoidance is not possible, we recommend further <br />consultation with our office in order to identify options to mitigate the adverse effect to the sites. <br />Should human remains be discovered during mining activities the requirements under State law CRS 24-80 part <br />13 apply and must be followed. <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@state. co.us. <br />S' cerely, <br />Edward C.
