Google Earth image of #oil development already existing just north of the closure, incompatible with an area that has received little screening for significant evidence of one of this continents advanced cultures during the time of the Roman Empire. I worked for an archaeological surveyor & know what it entails. I worked for the NPS & know unique comments carry more weight than a signature. I've been to Chaco more than once & know it is more than a piece of #history. It is special. Say something
