Mining will be performed with loaders. Bulldozers may be <br />utilized during mining to maintain slopes and manage stockpiles when necessary. <br />In response to comments received by Colorado State Historic Preservation Office dated August <br />17, 2012, the following paragraph was added to Exhibit D. The addition was reviewed and <br />approved by Mr. Mark Tobias on August 31, 2012. <br />Comments received August 17, 2012 from Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) <br />indicate the southern portion of the subject property is located adjacent to a formally recognized <br />segment of the Santa Fe Trail. As indicated in the mine plan map, the southern portion of the <br />property is not included in the proposed affected area and this portion of the trail will be avoided. <br />However, due to the meandering nature of historic trails there is a potential for associated <br />features or artifacts to be present within the proposed affected area. In the event that an <br />unidentified archaeological resource is identified during the mining operation, extraction will cease <br />in the vicinity of the discovery and the SHPO will be immediately notified. Mining will resume in <br />the vicinity of the discovery only upon receipt of SHPO approval. <br />6.4.17 Exhibit Q — Proof of Mailing Notices to County Commissioners and Soil Conservation <br />District: Return receipt cards are provided. <br />EnViironrmieneal //, IlternatiiVess Ilnc, <br />1107 Main Street, Canon City, CO 81212 <br />www.envalternatives.com • e -mail: eai @bresnan.net <br />Phone: 719- 275 -8951 • Fax: 719- 275 -1715 <br />
