We certainly appreciated the opportunity to discuss project details with you yesterday <br />afternoon. <br />After review of the documentation provided and in consideration of our prior finding of no historic properties <br />affected for coal mining operations within the western half of Section 25, Township 47N, Range 16W (see <br />attachment) wherein the current ground disturbing activities will occur, we believe that our prior finding remains in <br />effect. Please also find a copy of our 2003 agreement that excludes certain revisions from additional consultation <br />with our office. <br />Please remember that the consultation process does involve other consulting parties such as local governments and <br />Tribes, which as stipulated in 36 CFR 800.3 are required to be notified of the undertaking. Additional information <br />provided by the local government, Tribes or other consulting parties may cause our office to re- evaluate our <br />comments and recommendations. <br />Should unidentified archaeological resources be discovered in the course of the projects, work must be interrupted until <br />the resources have been evaluated in terms of the National Register of Historic Places eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) <br />in consultation with our office. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Mark Tobias, Section <br />106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866 -4674 or mark.tobias(c_state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward C.
