Historically, gravel demand for this remote <br />location comes from Forest Service or Mesa County governments. However oil and gas <br />companies now need gravel for their well pads and access roads to their drill sites. The <br />last crushing occurred in September 2008 in anticipation of this demand. In November of <br />2008 nearly all oil and gas activity ceased in this area. Hauling activity at the pit <br />occurred for approximately 30 days of the report year. There is a stockpile of <br />approximately 30,000 tons of gravel at the site. <br />Operator does not believe there will be more than 180 days of activity in the coming <br />report year. Acreage is correctly depicted on the previously submitted map. Weed <br />spraying did occur during the report year. Pit location markers are located annually. <br />There is no exposed groundwater at the pit.
