RE: J&D.FAMILY SUBDIVISION, GALLATIN CO. SHPO Project #: 2009100709
Dear Mr. Henesh:
I have conducted a cultural resource file search for the above-cited project located in
Section 9, T2S R5E. According to our records there have been no previously recorded
sites within the designated search locales. The absence of cultural properties in the area
does not mean that they do not exist but rather may reflect the absence of any previous
cultural resource inventory in the area, as our records indicated none.
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 to be altered and are over fifty years old we would recommend that they be
recorded and a determination of their eligibility be made.
As long as there will be no disturbance or alteration to structures over fifty years of age
we feel that there is a low likelihood cultural properties will be impacted. 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 be 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(ir�,mt.gov. Thank you for consulting with us.
Sincerely,
Damon Murdo
