Issue of San Juan Triangle as an Outdoor Historical Mining Museum |
||
| San Juan Triangle Project is
attempting to upgrade the San Juan Triangle to an OUTDOOR
HISTORICAL MINING MUSEUM. This may cause issues with private
property. There are four categories. There is
an issue here that sites that are not on the public path, not normally
public visited and are private, do not follow the same requirements as
an historical mining museum. Conversely public sites that are clearly a
public historical site, regular visits even if private should have
oversight for historical value, historical artifacts and safe access.
Government should work with those sites same as they would for clean
water. All sites private and public should be treated with respect
and historically preserved. A serious issue is preservation of historical site and artifacts on private and public land. Historical site and artifacts refers to any buildings standing or down, tailings, artifacts as boards, pipes, hoses, metal parts, rails, ties, machinery parts, building parts, anything within the site boundary. There appears to be unclear regulations to prevent movement or damage to historical artifacts on private land. Details of regulations being researched. San Juan Triangle Project wants detailed clear definition of each category and links to further state and federal government legal text and webs. The purpose here is site preservation as Colorado mining heritage and reduce conflicts public vs. private with public available detailed rules. Clearly rules are being violated. Also appreciated is help with national and state recognition of historic places, tourism, grants, overall site recognition and improvement. ALSO the use of federal tax $$ and grants to improve or destroy historical mining sites is being researched. 1) BLM is not a problem. 2) Private land but open to the public with historical artifacts and historical value. 3) Private land posted and not public but easily accessed and has historical value. 4) Private land not accessed due to distance from any road or difficult terrain. 1) BLM no problem - BLM care by BLM plans. 2) Private open to the public - What on site needs historical protection, liability, access safety, government support for improving public visits. The site needs to be interesting as a museum for the public and artifacts protected. 3) Private closed to public - proper posting, protection for historical artifacts, Discourage trespassing, make unsuitable for the public but protect historical artifacts and historical landscape. The site is protected for the future historical significance. Review and fix dangerous access. 4) Private not accessible - Not a problem except review and fix dangerous access. |
