The Thomas <br />Gravel Pit 4 is located approximately 4.5 miles west of Keota, Colorado. The site is permitted for 87.60 acres and the <br />approved post mining land use is general agriculture. <br />This inspection was conducted in response to the submittal of a Transfer of Permit and Succession of Operators <br />Application, which was received by the Division on June 25, 2010.

During the last inspection conducted on September 14, 2010, it was noted mining operations were complete <br />and reclamation activities were underway. At the time of this inspection, all reclamation has been completed. The access <br />road was reclaimed foll9wing the previous inspection; vegetation is starting to establish on the road.
