This includes the identification of any historic <br />properties (i.e. cultural resources which are eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places) <br />within the area of potential effects and determining whether the undertaking will have an effect upon such <br />properties. The State Historic Preservation Office, Native American tribes, representatives of local <br />governments, and applicants for Federal permits, licenses or other approval are entitled to consultative roles <br />in this process. <br />Prior to ground- disturbing activities, an inventory for cultural resources should be conducted in this area by a <br />qualified professional and the results provided to our office for review and comment. <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 a,state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
