ANNUAL REPORT <br />Operator: United Companies of Mesa County <br />Location: Colona Pit <br />File Number: M-1994-0005 <br />Anniversary Date: May 6, 2008 <br />Location was active again this past year. United finished mining above the water table. <br />The amendment mentioned in last years report was approved. United did a months worth <br />of extracting pit run material at the north end of the pit from below the water table. After <br />a fairly long period of time for the excavated material to dry -United was able to crush <br />more than enough material for an upcoming highway paving project on Red Mountain <br />Pass. This project will be starting up in late May. <br />Approximately 90% of the Colona pit perimeter walls were seeded last fall. The initial <br />growth looks good so far. The landscaped portion of the pit along Hwy. 550 presents a <br />nice appearance to motorists passing by. Weed management continues on at least a twice <br />a year basis. Weeds are under control at this location. <br />Sincerely, <br />i~ ~~ ~~ <br />Brent Kerr <br />
