<br />-z- <br />The Division would hereby inform prospective builders and the Las Animas <br />County Planning Department that certain areas of the mining activity included <br />reclamation of contour strip mining operations. Consequently, these areas of <br />the mine consist of unconsolidated and uncompacted backfill. Therefore, the <br />Division would advise against building in these backfilled areas. However, if <br />building is to be conducted, it should be done carefully and with the guidance <br />of a registered professional engineer. <br />Enclosed is a map which illustrates the areas of the mine where backfilling <br />occurred to assist you in reviewing building plans. <br />It should be noted that the backfilled areas are generally on steep slopes and <br />comprise a small portion of the development. They will not interfere with the <br />establishment of dwellings on other portions of the lots. <br />If you have any questions or concerns, written comments should be addressed <br />to Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, <br />Denver, Colorado 80203, no later than ten(10) days after receipt of this <br />letter. We can also be reached by telephone at (303) 866-3567 and FAX N0. <br />(303) 866-8106. <br />Sincerely, __ _ <br />c~~-~ .~ <br />Anthony J.
