During the inspection it was found that an area of approximately 4.7 acres has been <br />disturbed on the site through mining activity. The disturbed area is comprised of a short access road, <br />excavated area, material and topsoil stockpiles, and open areas where grading has occurred. A review of <br />historical air photos indicates disturbance at the site prior to 1993 although this may be due to activity by <br />the property owner for their own use. <br />March 14, 2013 - A Reason to Believe (RTB) letter and the Division's March 13, 2013 inspection report <br />were sent to Kit Carson County Road and Bridge. <br />Office of <br />Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
