ANNUAL REPORT <br />Operator: United Companies of Mesa County <br />Location: Colona Pit <br />File Number: M-1994-005 <br />Anniversary Date: May 6, 2007 <br />Location was active during this report period. United continued to mine, crush, & <br />stockpile sand and gravel at this location during 2006. Mining took place once in the <br />southeast comer of the pit and now we have moved the mining to the northeast portion of <br />the pit, There isn't a lot of remaining mining area left above the water table. United <br />reshaped the pit berm along Hwy 550, planted grass & some trees. This area is starting to <br />look good I think. Some 3 to 1 slope reclamation took place along with the berm <br />remodel. Weed management continues on a twice a year basis. The weeds are under <br />control. <br />United has a permit amendment application under review with DRMS to mine deeper <br />within the existing permit boundary. The current plan is to "wet mine" below the water <br />table and not discharge water. Reclamation of this mining will include two lakes. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~w,~~ <br />Brent W. Kerr <br />Resource Manager <br />
