Introduction <br />The Chambers pit was initially permitted in 1979 by the Colorado Division of Minerals and <br />Geology (CDMG) under Permit # M-79-205. The pit's original reserves were mined in the <br />mid-to late `90's. The permit area was expanded in 1998 to include additional reserves. A <br />portion of the permit area was released from bond in 2002. The additional reserves from the <br />1998 amendment are nearly exhausted. The Operator, United Companies of Mesa County, <br />wishes to continue operations at the current facilities. Additional reserves have been located <br />across the river from the current pit. In order to supply the current aggregate demand of the <br />site, material will be transported across the river using a conveyor. The primary processing and <br />sales location will not change for this Amendment. Additional sales may occur in the <br />expansion area for large projects along the I-70 corridor, however this would only occur <br />occasionally. <br />4(26/04 Page i-t <br />
