Four States Aggregates, LLC <br />P. 0. Box 1568 <br />CORTEZ, COLORADO 81321 <br />(970)565-3388 <br />May 20, 2002 <br />Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 215 <br />DENVER, CO 80203 <br />(303)866-3467 <br />SUBJECT: 2002 ANNUAL FEE AND REPORT FOR M-1990-025 (HAY CAMP PIT) <br />Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />Enclosed is the Annual Report form for the Hay Camp Pit, M-1990-025, formerly <br />Gardner Pit No 2A, for the reporting year ending May 22, 2002, with a map and the <br />annual fee. <br />Since May 2001, mining continued as in the past, without any significant breaks in <br />operations. A mild winter with little precipitation allowed operations to continue almost <br />without interruption. At present, 29 acres has been affected and not reclaimed and <br />released. The plant was relocated to the west, and stockpile areas changed slightly. In <br />addition to the 6-acre area reclaimed and released in the Spring of 2001, additional <br />areas have been reclaimed. This includes the "tail" in the southeast corner of our permit <br />area, which overlaps between our permit and Permit M-1985-172 (held by Montezuma <br />County), and the former scalehouse area located to the south. However, the lack of <br />moisture has slowed revegetation, and no areas appear to be ready for release this <br />year. <br />Much of Four States Aggregates mining and reclamation activity, as shown on the map, <br />has been in areas located within Permit M-1985-172 in exchange for areas to be mined <br />by the County within our permit boundary. These areas being mined by the County are <br />shown in the report, as well as areas outside our permit boundary which are being or <br />have been reclaimed. <br />Either accompanying this report or submitted separately is an application for permit <br />amendment to expand the permit boundary and affected areas of this permit to include <br />additional lands, as discussed, to include all of Permit M-1985-172, pursuant to an <br />agreement between Four States Aggregates and Montezuma County. That application <br />will include plans for 2002-3 and beyond for mining and reclamation by both entities, <br />under the overall responsibility of Four States Aggregates. We are presently finalizing <br />
