FILES SEARCH: <br />A files search was conducted with Beth Clark of the Colorado <br />Historical Society. Two cultural resource sites were located in <br />the immediate survey area. Both were located in Section 25, <br />T47N -R16W. One, 5MN 1258 was located in the sw /sw and the other, <br />5MN 1257 was located in the ne /sw of Section 25. Both were open <br />archeological sites assessed in the field as not eligible for the <br />National Register of Historic Places. Neither were located <br />within the drill site area. <br />FIELD WORK: <br />On September 21, 1984, David R. Evans conducted an intensive <br />cultural resource survey and surface evaluation of the drill <br />locations and new access road corridors shown on the enclosed <br />map. The drilling pad was examined by walking a spiral transect <br />starting at the location stake and expanding outward to cover 200 <br />feet. The spiral transects passed 12 to 16 feet apart giving <br />maximum coverage of the areas detailed. The new access right of <br />way was walked with 4 parallel transects 25 feet apart giving <br />coverage of 100 feet (50 feet either side of the centerline) <br />Best advantage was taken of game trails, road cuts, cut banks, <br />animal burrows, saddles, passes, and areas of high visibility. <br />The proposed drill sites and access roads were clearly flagged <br />and the Director, Land & Reserve Development for Peabody Coal <br />Company.aecompanied the archeologist to identify the right of way <br />and drill pad locations. <br />Drill Pad Locations: <br />Drill Pad Township Range Section Location Access <br />P -1 47N 16W 25 se /nw /ne /nw 900ft <br />P -2 25 ne /sw /nw /nw 470ft <br />P -3 25 se /nw /se /nw 630ft <br />P - 25 sw /ne /sw /nw 935ft <br />P-5 25 c /ne /sw 100ft <br />P -6 25 c /nw /sw 535ft <br />P -7 25 nw /ne /se /sw 165ft- <br />P 25 c /sw 100ft <br />P -9 25 c /nw /sw /sw 340ft <br />P -10 46N 15W 6 nw /ne /nw /nw 100ft <br />P -11 6 c /nw /nw 1-200ft <br />
