If the OSM disagrees with the above opinion on National Register eligibility, <br />the agency may seek the comments of the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places. <br />We also find the proposed treatment plan to be satisfactory and, consequently, it is our opinion that the <br />project will have no adverse effect on this historic property provided that the treatment plan is <br />implemented. In addition, we wish to reinforce Ms. McKibbin's advice that further consultation will be <br />necessary prior to any construction in the azea of this historic property if the applicant wishes to proceed <br />before the treatment plan field work is completed. It is the responsibility of the OSM to provide <br />documentation of this finding to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The Council's address <br />is: <br />Western Office of Review <br />12136 West Bayaud Avenue, Suite 330 <br />Lakewood, CO 80226 <br />In addition to receiving a report on the results of implementation of this treatment plan at the Jeff Place, <br />we look forward to reviewing the preliminary report of the rail spur and P3 haul road investigations along <br />OFF]CE OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTOR]C PRESERVATION <br />303-866-3392 - Fax 303-866-0464 ^ E-mail: chaeyeop®uae.net ~ Intcmel: http://www.eclin.org/alher/hiewric/che/index.hunl <br />
