The site consists of one tract of land, located as shown in

The Site is approximately 17. 60 acres in size and is
irregularly shaped. The tract is bordered to the north by
the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, to the south by
open land, to the east by a lumber mill, and to the west by
the Mid-Continent Resources coal loading facility. Only the
eastern property boundary is fenced to limit access,
otherwise the property is accessible by vehicle at two
places where roads cross the railroad tracks. Structures on
the property include a large metal building, a smaller metal
building and four small metal sheds (Figure 2) . The main
building was formerly used by Pitkin Iron as a limestone,
magnetite, and nahcolite crushing and bagging operation
(Photograph 1) . The southeast side of the Main Building was
used for office space (Photograph 2) . A smaller building,
located northwest of the main building, was also used for
crushing and bagging operations (Photograph 3) .
The topography ranges from steeply to moderately sloping.
The steep land is in the southern 7 . 6 acres. The majority

roadways. There are remnants of equipment and scrap metal
