Re: Cultural Resource Review
Diamond 8 Baseball Complex
Dear Planning Staff,
A cultural resource file search was conducted by the Montana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
for the Diamond 8 project (SHPO Project #20260127011) located in Section 4, Township 2 South, Range
5 East. SHPO identified one previously recorded site within the broader search area (Site 24GA1995, a
historic residence) and noted several prior cultural resource inventories conducted in the section.
However, SHPO’s correspondence concludes that, provided no structures over fifty years of age within
the Project area are altered or disturbed, there will be no cultural or historic properties affected by the
undertaking. There are no existing buildings currently on site.
Based on SHPO’s review and findings, SHPO determined that a recommendation for a cultural resource
inventory is unwarranted at this time. Accordingly, the project is not anticipated to impact cultural
resources, assuming no inadvertent discovery of cultural materials during construction. Should any
previously unidentified cultural materials be encountered, SHPO will be notified and appropriate
investigation will occur prior to further disturbance
Sincerely,
Garrett Schultz, P.E.

RE: DIAMOND 8 SUBDIVISION AND PARK, GALLATIN COUNTY. SHPO Project #: 20260127011
Dear Mr. Guymon:
I have conducted a cultural resource file search for the above-cited project located in Section 4, T2S R5E. According to our
records there has been one previously recorded site within the designated search locale. In addition to the site there have been a
few previously conducted cultural resource inventories done in the area. I’ve attached a list of the site and reports. If you would like
any further information regarding the site or reports, you may contact me at the number listed below.
It is SHPO’s position that any structure over fifty years of age is considered historic and is potentially eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places. If any structures are within the Area of Potential Effect, and are over fifty years old, we would
recommend that they be recorded, and a determination of their eligibility be made prior to any disturbance taking place.

As long as there will be no disturbance or alteration to structures over fifty years of age, we feel that there will be no cultural or
historic properties affected by this undertaking. We, therefore, feel that a recommendation for a cultural resource inventory is
unwarranted at this time. However, should structures need to be altered or if cultural materials are inadvertently discovered during
this project, we would ask that our office be contacted, and the site investigated.
If you have any further questions or comments, you may contact me at (406) 444-7767 or by e-mail at dmurdo@mt.gov. I have
attached an invoice for the file search. Thank you for consulting with us.
Sincerely,
