the Port Hudson National Historic 1 Landmark

Dear Mr. Tedesco:

By letter dated November 23, 1983, Mr. J. E. Booker of Gulf States Utilities Company transmitted the above referenced report. ty staff has reviewed the document, and we find it to be an accurate account of GSU's cultural resources compliance relative to the River Bend Station up to this point in time. Accordingly, we anticipate that operation and main-tenance of the plant will not affect any sites or properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The only possible exception to this are the remains of the Magnolia Plantation Sugar Mill (16WF36) which have been documented to be on the plant's property. It is our understanding that archaeological investi-gations are currently underway relative to determining the site's National Register eligibility. We will withhold further comment on the sugar mill remains pending completion of the investigations.

Should you have any questions regarding our cormients, do not hesitate to contact my staff in the Division of Archaeology.

Sincerely, f _
