Description of Work: Furnishing labor, equipment, supplies, and materials to perform a Class III (intensive) field inventory of approximately 1,675 acres of BLM administered public lands in Moffat County, Colorado. The BLM is proposing to treat 1,730 acres of BLM administered lands; therefore, a cultural resource inventory is required prior to vegetation treatments that include mechanical (mastication), lop and scatter, piling, and prescribed burning to locate, evaluate and adequately protect all sites from the effects of the undertaking. All newly identified sites and isolated finds located will be recorded and mapped. Previously recorded sites will be re-located, evaluated, and re-recorded if their original recording is over 10 years old; for those identified within 10 years of the current inventory, complete OAHP Cultural Re-Visitation Forms addressing impacts or changes to the site, if any exist.

Note: The Cultural Resource Use Permit (CRUP) is now called a Permit for Archaeological Investigation (PAI). You can learn more about it at: https://www.blm.gov/programs/cultural-heritage/archaeology/permits
