ANNUAL REPORT <br />Operator: United Companies of Mesa County <br /> i <br />Operation: Berry P <br />t <br />1 ~ ~A01 <br /> JAN <br />File Number: M-1977-132 Flpt~QelamaC~9ft~ <br />pivi~ ~ <br />n9 ~~#Qly <br /> in~ ~ <br />Anniversary Date: January 16, 2007 <br />The Berry Pit was active this year. The crusher produced approximately 50,000 tons of <br />material. We crushed asphalt material first and then added some Class 6 roadbase. Our <br />smaller portable asphalt plant set up in the pit one time during the year and produced <br />approximately 14,000 tons of hot bituminous pavement. Most of the asphalt production <br />went to a project in Rangely. The pit continues to be used as a storage location for <br />gravel products. <br />United Companies continued mining more of phase 3 near the west end of the area when <br />the crusher was on site. The mining area and approximate locations of remaining <br />stockpiles are shown on the map. United Companies has found additional gravel on what <br />we thought was the pit floor. At some point in the life of the pit we will probably mine a <br />bit deeper. United is also considering installing ared-mix plant in this pit. The decision <br />depends on estimating the market against the expense involved. <br />I consider the weed management program successful, probably due to the dry conditions. <br />United has a weed management specialist contractor that visits our gravel pits twice a <br />year. Weeds are under control. <br />Sincerely, <br />~,u.,.~ c,~ < 1~.>~ <br />Brent W. Kerr <br />Resource Manager <br />
