ANNUAL REPORT <br /> Operator: United Companies of Mesa County, Inc. <br /> Operation: Corey Gravel Pit <br /> File Number: M-1987-024 <br /> Anniversary Date: April 17, 2001 <br /> This pit was active during the past year. Gravel mining, processing, storage and sales <br /> were performed during the year. Approximately 2 acres have been sloped and graded at <br /> the southwestern corner of the disturbed area. Product stockpiles remain on the permit <br /> area. The stockpiles remaining on site contain CDOT Class 6 and CDOT Class 3 road <br /> base. <br /> Mining at this permit has been completed. The last active mining area, located at the <br /> south part of the permit, has been graded to final slope and configuration. Topsoil has <br /> been distributed on part of the final slope. A small additional area was mined very early <br /> in 2001. This area is being filled with crusher reject material to achieve final <br /> configuration and match the remainder of the final slope. <br /> As described in CDMG Reclamation Specialist Bob Oswald's report of the Feb. 23, 2001 <br /> inspection, a small ditch has been excavated to collect"seepage". This seepage is waste <br /> water from the irrigated field on top of the hill that migrates through the gravel deposit <br /> and appears at the toe of the excavated slope in the mining area. United Companies will <br /> be covering the damp area of the pit floor, where the seepage is appearing, with sub soil <br /> and topsoil during the reclamation of the site. <br /> Reclamation should begin this year with distribution and grading of stockpiled soils. <br />
