ANNUAL REPORT <br />Operator: United Companies of Mesa County <br />Location: Anderson Pit <br />File Number: M-2005-921 <br />Anniversary Date: February 1, 2008 <br />Anderson was active this report period. One crushing event and one gravel washing <br />event took place. This location underwent changes during this report period. The <br />proposed Redi-Mix plant, office, truck scales facility was constructed and is in use. <br />United constructed a landscape yard west of the plant. A noise barrier berm was <br />constructed along part of the northwest permit boundary. (in front of the Hutchins <br />residence) United plans to place straw bales on top of this berm in an effort to reduce pit <br />noise in the direction of the Hutchins residence. The majority of the future hay fields <br />shown on last years sketch did get planted and produced a cutting of alfalfa this report <br />period. United purchased an additiona180 acres (Kay and Marlyn McGrath's dairy farm) <br />adjoining the east boundary of the original Anderson permit boundary. This additional <br />area has been included in the Anderson mining permit and the Delta County Special Use <br />Permit. The dairy land will continue in agricultural use for several years. The first stages <br />of the mining plan for Anderson progresses from west to east. Eventually the pit will <br />expand to the east far enough to begin mining the north cornfield of the dairy land. <br />Weed management will take a step up at this location. I feel additional treatments are <br />needed to control the unwanted vegetation. <br />~ ~, ~~.~ <br />Brent W. Kerr <br />Resource Manager <br />
