FOUR CORNERS MATERIALS <br />A division of Oldcastle SW Group, Inc. <br />25 July 2008 <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: M-1986-061- Cugnini Gravel Pit - Annual Report - July 2008 <br />Dear Sir or Madam: <br /> <br />JUN rL 5 `Llt`'v?1 <br />Di,4i5i duty ?, <br />During the permit year that ended on 20-Jul-2008, the Cugnini Gravel pit continued in its role as <br />this company's primary source of rock products in La Plata County. Mining activity moved to <br />the southwestern face of the pit where operations are presently being conducted. <br />A portable crusher was in operation several times during the past year providing road base <br />materials and aggregates for use in hot mix asphalt. The stationary asphalt plant produced hot <br />mix asphalt from July into November, starting up for the 2008 paving season on April 15th. <br />The 2007 annual report stated that the northern portion of the mined area will likely be reclaimed <br />in the coming year, once the mining is complete and stockpiles are removed from the area. This <br />has not occurred. Instead, Four Corners Materials is working on a pit expansion plan for this <br />area. Reclamation work was conducted on the small drainage near the northeast area of the pit <br />where storm water eroded the area. The drainage was fixed and a storm water berm and small <br />pond constructed to prevent similar future events. <br />A map of the permit area and a check in the amount of $791.00 are enclosed with this letter as <br />fulfillment of our reporting obligations for the year beginning 21-Jul-2007. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have regarding this report. <br />Sincerely, <br />Peter M.
