Dear Mr.Nichols: This letter constitutes a request for comment on a Determination of Eligibility and Effects for the project referenced above. The Colorado Department of Transportation(CDOT)plans to replace the existing St. Vrain River Bridge(Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation [OAHP]No. 5WL.3007) over the St.Vrain River and perform resurfacing over a two-mile stretch of State Highway(SH)66 in Weld County. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS The proposed Area of Potential Effects(APE)is 2.25 miles in length and extends one lot out from the project corridor along SH 66 where the property has been developed for commercial or private use. Because most of the project corridor will remain within CDOT Right-of-Way(ROW),the boundaries of the APE narrow to follow those of CDOT ROW. Please refer to the enclosed illustration indicating the project's APE boundaries. METHODOLOGY AND SURVEY RESULTS In April and May 2011, John Hoffecker of Historic Preservation Consultants conducted field surveys of the two-mile project corridor for historic and archaeological resources. CDOT's Environmental Programs Branch in Denver will also be submitting Dr. Hoffecker's archaeological findings to your office for review. Dr. Hoffecker also conducted research at the Weld County Clerk and Recorder's Office in Greeley and the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District in Loveland. CDOT-Region 4 Senior Historian Robert Autobee conducted additional research at the archives of the Greeley Historic Museum in Greeley. The field survey and research identified three previously evaluated historic resources: the St.Vrain River Bridge(5WL.3007),the Gowanda Railroad Siding(5 WL.1076), and a segment of the Last Chance Ditch (5 W L.1975.3). Along SH 66,there are five previously unrecorded sites—three segments of unnamed ditches drawing water from the St.Vrain River(5WL.2189.8, 5WL.2189.9 and 5WL.2189.10)and two farm sites: the Miller Farm(5WL.6720)and the Carpenter Farm(5WL.6721). rn1nWU CQI � D1'1s et : PL, cA 190 2011-1347 5 as /i S ?Ll ri Mr.Moreno May 13,2011 Page 2 ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATIONS Gowanda Railroad Siding(Union Pacific Railroad,Dent Branch) I5WL.10761: According to the OAHP Compass database,the Gowanda siding was initially surveyed by James Spalding of Greeley in 1976. Your office found that 5 WL.1076 was"Field-Not Eligible"based on Mr. Spalding's submission. Because of the limited information on the original form 1976,this office is submitting a management data and historic architectural component forms for your review. The initial Gowanda Railroad Siding was constructed as part of the Dent Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad between 1907 and 1910. The original depot is gone leaving only the shed/garage built in 1965. Because the remaining structures are less than 50 years old and display poor physical integrity,CDOT has determined that 5WL.1076 is not eligible to the NRHP under Criteria A and C. 1,500-foot segment of the Last Chance Ditch (5WL.19753): CDOT surveyed this segment of ditch in the summer of 2006. On August 14,2006,your office conferred with our finding that the ditch was eligible under NRHP Criteria A and C. Because it has been less than five years since the last recordation, CDOT will not submit a re-evaluation of 5 WL.1975.3, but this office does concur that the site retains its eligibility under Criteria A and C. St.Vrain River Bridge(CDOT Structure D-17-AK) I5WL30071: CDOT's Historic Bridge Inventory (2000) determined 5WL.3007 was not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places(NRHP). Further consultation on eligibility is not required for bridges determined not eligible as part of that survey. We have attached the 5WL.3007 inventory form from the 2000 Historic Bridge Inventory for your convenience. Three 1,500-foot long segments of unnamed ditch off St.Vrain Creek(5WL.2189.8,5WL.2189.9 and 5WL.2189.10): Western Cultural Resource Management, Inc. initially recorded these features in July 1995 and determined that they were not eligible to the NRHP under Criteria A and C. Research related to this project was unable to find any additional historic documentation regarding these resources. CDOT has determined that these ditches do not have any association with events or persons that have contributed to Weld County history. The resources are known as"tail-water ditches"and function to return water to the St. Vrain Creek. The ditches do not have the characteristics of a type, period,or method of construction,and do not have the potential to yield information furthering the understanding of Colorado's past. CDOT concurs with the previous determination and finds that 5WL.2189.8, 5 WL.2189.9 and 5WL.2189.10 are not eligible to the NRHP under Criteria A and C. Miller Farm (5WL.6720): This is the first recordation of this resource. The main farm house was completed in 1915,and subsequent owners expanded the site over the following century. By the 1990s, the long-time owners of the farm,the Millers, had developed their holdings into a"farm tourism" destination. Research was unable to find a significant individual or event associated with this property. The integrity of the 1915 main house has been compromised by a new addition and most of the other buildings on site were constructed after 1965. Therefore,CDOT has determined that 5WL.6720 is not eligible to the NRHP under Criteria A and C. Carpenter Farm(5WL.6721): This is the first recordation of this site. The main house was built in 1905, and for many years,Alfred Carpenter,the brother of Colorado water attorney, Delph Carpenter, farmed this site. The farm site's integrity has been compromised by the introduction of outbuildings introduced within the past 50 years. Because of no association with any historically significant event or • Mr.Moreno May 13,2011 Page 3 individual and the loss of design, material, setting and historic association, CDOT has determined that the Carpenter Farm is not eligible to the NRHP under Criteria A and C. EFFECTS DETERMINATIONS CDOT will replace 5WL.3007 with a new bridge over the St. Vrain River. The project will also resurface two miles of SH 66 between Mileposts 46 and 48. The work will require right-of-way acquisition and temporary easements at various points along the corridor. Please refer to the plan set included with this submission for a further illustration of project effects. Gowanda Railroad Siding(Union Pacific Railroad,Dent Branch) I5WL.10761: According to project plans, resurfacing will not extend outside CDOT ROW near 5WL.1076. Because CDOT will not encroach on any property boundaries associated with this site,and that the site has been determined not eligible to the NRHP under Criteria A and C,there will be no historic properties affected from this project. 1,500-foot segment of the Last Chance Ditch (SWL.1975.3): The Last Chance Ditch empties into the St. Vrain River before reaching the St.Vrain River Bridge. The project plans indicate that construction will not require temporary or permanent easements in the ditch. CDOT has determined that there will be no historic properties affected resulting from construction. St.Vrain River Bridge(CDOT Structure D-17-AK) (5WL.30071: Because this site has been found under the 2000 Historic Bridge Inventory as not eligible under NRHP Criteria A and C, CDOT has determined that there will be no historic properties affected from replacement of this structure. Three 1,500-foot long segments of unnamed ditch off St.Vrain Creek(5WL/189.8,5WL.2189.9 and 5WL.2189.10): These ditch segments flow beneath SH 66 in Township 3 North,Range 678W, Sections 21 and 28. CDOT will conduct resurfacing operations over these segments. The work will require right-of-way acquisition and temporary easements in the vicinity of these resources. However, since this office has determined that each ditch is not eligible to the NRHP,there will be no historic properties affected resulting from construction. Miller Farm(5WL.6720): The project will continue resurfacing operations in front of the Miller Farm. CDOT has determined that the property is not eligible to the NRHP and the proposed work may require a temporary easement beyond the property boundary. CDOT has determined there will be no historic properties affected. Carpenter Farm (5WL.6721): The project will continue resurfacing operations in front of the Carpenter Farm. The project plans indicate that resurfacing will require a temporary easement and may encroach beyond the site's property boundary. However,CDOT has determined that the property is not eligible to the NRHP and there will be no historic properties affected from construction. As a local government authority with a potential interest in this project,we welcome your comments regarding our determination of eligibility and effects. Should you elect to respond, we request that you do so within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

McLarad Source of information: The Irrigated Farms of Northern Colorado(1915) [historic map] 29. Construction history(include description and dates of major additions, alterations, or demolitions): The original hipped-roof box-style house was purchased in 1949 by the Miller family, who made various additions/alterations to the house, including the added west wing with sliding glass door side entrance and side-gabled roof (probably in the 1960s). The Millers constructed the farm produce stand in 1966, and other outbuildings were added in 1976 and 1980. Some of the windows on the original house were replaced with sliding metal-frame windows (date unknown), and the original (presumably wood) roof shingles have been replaced with asphalt shingles(date unknown). 30. Original location x Moved_ Date of move(s): V. HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS 31. Original use(s): single-family residence 32. Intermediate use(s): 33. Current use(s): single-family residence 34. Site type(s): farm house 35. Historical background: The house was constructed in 1915 and, according to The Irrigated Farms of Northern Colorado map published during the same year, the property was owned by G. W. McLarad; archival research at the Greeley History Museum failed to yield additional information about McLarad. The Miller family purchased the property after World War II. John Miller had settled in Weld County at the beginning of the 20'" century, operating a general store in Windsor. His son Roy purchased the farm on CR 19 in 1949 and grew sugar beets and other crops on the land in the early 1950s. During the 1950s, the Millers opened a roadside vegetable stand. In 1965-1966, the roadside stand was expanded into a larger market ("Millers Market"), and green-houses were constructed. In the 1990s, John Miller's grandson Joseph took over operation of the farm and developed it into a new business that reflected a shift to"farm tourism." 36.

Local landmark designation: Yes No x Date of designation: Designating authority: N/A 38. Applicable National Register Criteria: A. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of our history; B. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; Resource Number: 5WL.6720 Temporary Resource Number: [none] _C. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or _D. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Qualifies under Criteria Considerations A through G (see Manual) x Does not meet any of the above National Register criteria 39. Area(s) of significance: agriculture 40. Period of significance: 1915-1960 41. Level of significance: National_ State x Local 42. Statement of significance: 5WL.6720 does not appear to meet any of the criteria listed for inclusion in the NRHP. It is not associated with events or the lives of persons that have made a significant contribution to history and is therefore not eligible under criterion A. Although the house embodies the characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction (criterion C), the integrity of the design and materials has been compromised by the introduction of elements that are out of character an early twentieth-century farm house in Weld County (see item #43); and it has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in history(criterion D). 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: The integrity of the house has been compromised by the addition of a new wing and replacement of materials, including the roof tiles and windows, that are not characteristic of the early or mid 20`" century. VII. NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT 44. National Register eligibility field assessment: Eligible_ Not Eligible x Need Data 45. Is there National Register district potential? Yes_ No x Discuss: The area does not exhibit potential for a National Register historic district due to the mixture of styles and time periods currently represented by the houses and farm buildings.

The house is rectangular in plan (29 x 26 ft) and occupies 872 square feet. The roof has a saltbox configuration, but there also is a smaller side-gabled roof that covers the east side of the house. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles. South elevation (main entrance): The entrance on this elevation is located on the west side and is represented by a wood-frame single wooden door. A concrete slab porch adjoins the doorway; it was formerly covered with an overhang supported by two metal struts, but the porch overhang is no longer present. There is a wood-frame double sliding window near the center of the elevation, and a smaller wood-frame double sliding window at the east end. East elevation (side entrance): This elevation contains another entrance, located on the south side, consisting of a wood-frame single wooden door that appears to be relatively new. As is the case with the main entrance, a concrete slab porch adjoins the doorway; it is covered with a metal(aluminum?) overhang, supported by metal poles. There are two wood-frame sliding double windows, paired in the center of the elevation. The south side of the house possesses a partial upper story and there are two louvered vents located on this level. North elevation: The north elevation contains two large wood-frame double sliding windows, one of which is located near the center, and one of which is located on the west side of the elevation. West elevation: This elevation possesses two wood-frame double sliding windows, symmetrically placed on each side of the elevation. The partial upper story on the south side contains two louvered vents. 22. Architectural style/building type: no style 23. Landscaping or special setting features: There are several trees located around the house (but not the outbuildings). The farm is still under production. 24.

Site type(s): farm house 35. Historical background: The house was reportedly constructed in 1905, but the original owner is unknown. In 1911, the property was purchased by Alfred Bennett Carpenter (1873-1953), who operated a farm at this location with his wife Mary Edna for 28 years; Carpenter was born on his family homestead near Greeley. The Carpenters built one of the utility sheds and the 800-square-foot cattle shed in 1940. They sold the farm in 1943. In the 1980s, the farm was owned by Albert D. Kurtz. After Kurtz's death, the farm was inherited by other members of the Kurtz family. The large metal shed on the east side of the property was constructed in the late 1990s. In 2001, the farm was purchased by Gregorio and Hidalia Robles and leased to a tenant. It continues to operate in 2011 as a farm. 36.

Local landmark designation: Yes_ No x Date of designation: Designating authority: N/A 38. Applicable National Register Criteria: A. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of our history; _B. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; C. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or D. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Qualifies under Criteria Considerations A through G (see Manual) x Does not meet any of the above National Register criteria 39. Area(s)of significance: agriculture 40. Period of significance: 1905-1960 Resource Number: 5WL.6721 ' Temporary Resource Number: [none] 41. Level of significance: National State x Local 42. Statement of significance: 5WL.6721 does not appear to meet any of the criteria listed for inclusion in the NRHP. It is not associated with events or the lives of persons that have made a significant contribution to history, and is therefore not eligible under criteria A or B. Although the house embodies the characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction (criterion C), the integrity of the setting has been compro- mised by the introduction of elements that are out of character for an early twentieth-century farm in Weld County(see item #43). It has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in history (criterion D). 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: The house appears to retain fundamental integrity of design, materials, and location, but the integrity of the setting has been compromised by the introduction of elements that are out of character for an early twentieth-century farm in Weld County, specifically, construction in 1998 of a large metal shed on the eastern side of the property. VII. NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT 44. National Register eligibility field assessment: Eligible_ Not Eligible x Need Data 45. Is there National Register district potential? Yes_ No x Discuss: The area does not exhibit potential for a National Register historic district due to the mixture of styles and time periods currently represented by the houses and farm buildings. If there is National Register district potential, is this building: Contributing_ Noncontributing 46. If the building is in existing National Register district, is it: Contributing_ Noncontributing VIII. RECORDING INFORMATION 47.

Associated Buildings, Features, or Objects- Describe material and function (map number/name): The shed/garage rests on a concrete slab foundation that occupies a total area of approximately 40 x 36 feet and that extends south of the shed/garage. An 18-foot diameter circular foundation rests on the slab in the area south of the structure; the interior margins of the concrete ring exhibit traces of a metal structure(water tank?)that formerly rested on the foundation. There is a long narrow concrete structure, roughly 5 ft wide and 30 ft long and 2 ft high (unknown function), that rests on the concrete slab foundation immediately west of the shed/garage. It is covered with corrugated metal sheets.

Builder: Union Pacific Railroad 28. Date of construction: Actual Assessor 1965 Estimate based on: Weld County Assessor 29. Modifications: Minor Moderate Major Moved Date Describe Modifications: There are no known modifications Additions and Date: There are no identified additions to the building 30. Associated Contexts and Historical Information: The Gowanda railroad siding was constructed as part of the Dent Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad during 1907- 1910. However, according to the Weld County Assessor, the shed/garage and associated features were constructed at a much later date (1965). Thus,although the shed/garage and associated features presumably functioned as part of the railroad siding, they did not play a role in the earlier history of the siding. V. OTHER RECORDING INFORMATION 31. Specific References to the Structure/Building: Weld County Assessor 32. Archaeological Potential: Yes No x Justify: The area around the shed/garaqe is largely covered by the concrete slab foundation that would inhibit archaeological testing. 33.

Resource Type: ❑ Road ❑ Railroad ❑ Trail ® Ditch/Canal Other(specify): 6. Component Description: This segment of the ditch extends from 750 feet south of SH 66 centerline to 750 feet north of the SH 66 centerline in Weld County (i.e., total segment length of 1,500 feet or-642 meters). The segment is an earthen ditch 20 feet or approximately 6 meters in width and several feet in depth. The segment slopes gently to the north, following the natural topography, and falls several feet in elevation between the start and end points. 7. Original use: irrigation ditch ("tail-water ditch") 8. Current use: irrigation ditch ("tail-water ditch") 9. Modifications(describe and include dates): Modifications may include several new water control features. 10. Extent of Entire Resource: The extent of the entire ditch appears to be approximately 3 miles. 11. Associated Artifacts: There are no associated artifacts. 12. Associated Features or Resources: There are several water control structures associated with the ditch.

Builder: unknown Source(s)of Information: N/A 15. Date of Construction/Date Range: unknown but assumed to be early 20th century Source(s)of Information: 16. Historical/Archival Data: No information on the history of the ditch (including its name)was reported at the time it was inventoried and evaluated (1995). During the recording of this segment, the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy and Water District No. 5 were contacted for information about the ditch. According to a Weld County Assessor property record card (for the property at 8677 SH 66), at least one portion of the ditch is referred to as "Nelson Bull Ditch." According to Water Control District No. 5, however, the ditch has no formal name and is not a decreed ditch with associated water rights, but rather functions to return water to St. Vrain Creek(i.e., "tail-water ditch"). 17. Cultural Affiliation and Justification: Euro-American IV. Management Recommendations 18.
