5 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 0.50 (acres) <br />K. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />One back hoe or similar for excavation. <br />Flatbed truck to haul drums of shale off site. <br />L. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />None <br />M. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />No ground water will be exposed, since the Pierre Shale does not contain any known <br />aquifers, and the area of excavation is in exposed shale. <br />IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES: <br />1. The Board suggests that a photographic record of the pre - prospecting and post - prospecting conditions be kept by the <br />prospector. These photos should be taken from the same location and by the same method to clearly show the pre- prospecting <br />condition of the land and the reclamation efforts. Upon completion of reclamation and request for bond or surety release, the <br />Board may consider the photos as evidence of adequate reclamation, and thus, be able to act more quickly on the request for <br />release. <br />2. Provide a description of the native vegetation of the area to be disturbed, including tree, shrub, and grass communities of the <br />area. Color photographs, sufficient to adequately represent the ecology of the site and adequately labeled (including date, <br />orientation and location), may be used in lieu of a written description. Based on the quality of the photographs, the Division <br />may require additional detail. <br />MZEWM- <br />grasses being pro <br />
