OPERATOR INDEX <br />Listed in decreasing order of annual volume extracted. <br />Large operators are defined as extracting more than 1,000 cu yds. <br />per year. Small operators extract less than 1,000 cu yds. per <br />year. Total amount extracted is usually for the 1989 season <br />(variable in some cases by 100% depending on market conditions). <br />The number of employees is approximate and restricted to peat <br />operations alone. Sites operated, annual extraction, and acres <br />affected are based on one season and may change over time. <br />Several other operators have been rumored to be in <br />existence, however, these were unable to be verified and are <br />therefore included here only in that context. <br />LARGE OPERATORS <br />Hyponex, Inc., 3 Assembly Ct., Fountain, CO 80817. <br />Owner: Scotts - Hyponex, Inc., 14111 Scotts Lawn Rd., <br />Marysville, OH 43041 <br />Employees: 25 <br />Sites operated: two to three in Teller County (TE4, 5, 6) <br />Annual extraction: 45,000 cu yds <br />Acres affected: 20 <br />Universal Peat, Sand, and Gravel, Inc., P.O.
