~+ <br />ANNUAL REPORT <br />Operator: United Companies of Mesa County <br />Operation: Pit No. 1 <br />File Number: M-1977-02 <br />Anniversary Date: March 23, 2004 <br />This location was active this year. Mining and processing took place during this <br />report period. Amendments 1 and 2 are in place. Mining in amendment 1 is <br />complete. We have mined once in Amendment 2 and in doing so mined through <br />part of an area that was meant to separate Amendments 1 and 2. We will put <br />material back to provide the separation as permitted when we do reclamation work <br />in this part of the pit. <br />We recently completed reclamation earth work along the east, south, and west <br />sides of Amendment 2. Part of the work done on the south boundary area was to <br />build three additional French drain type areas at the toe of the three to one slope to <br />allow ground water into the pit without disturbing the pit slope, We used broken <br />concrete chunks to create the areas. Each one is 25 to 30 feet wide and lOfeet tall <br />running under the slope south to the existing pit wall I'm in contact with a <br />seeding contractor to see if I'm good to go on seeding or should wait until fall. <br />
