E. Fish and Wildlife. Describe measures to maintain and protect fisheries and wildlife, and their habitat (includes threatened, <br />endangered, and sensitive species) affected by the operations. <br />No threatened, endangered, or sensitive species have been identified within our areas of operation. I do not plan to <br />operate in areas which might endanger fisheries or wildlife. Reclamation is carried out as quickly as possible. An <br />environmental impact study and biological assessment in nearby areas was conducted in 2006. No major impact has <br />been noted. <br />F. Cultural Resources. Describe measures forprotecting known historic and archeological values, or new sites in the project area. <br />No known areas of historic value or archeological sites have been discovered or are known to exist in this area <br />of operations. An inspection of surrounding areas was conducted in 2006. The mining district, itself, is the most <br />historic location in the world for amazonite and smoky quartz. This historical heritage is of significance in itself. <br />The world's finest specimens since the late 1800's have been produced in this area and the entire area should <br />be considered an important historic mining district. <br />G. Hazardous Substances. <br />I. Identify the type and volume of all hazardous materials and toxic substances which will be used or generated in the <br />Operations including cyanide, solvents, petroleum products, mill, process and laboratory reagents. <br />No hazardous substances will be used on site nor be produced by this operation. <br />Diesel fuel will be brought on site for the excavator every other day in a sealed, 75- gallon tank on a 4WD truck for <br />refueling. No fuel or lubricants will be stored on site, but will remain in the bed of a truck as much as is practical while <br />being used on site. The excavator will be returned to a level and safe area for refueling. <br />2 For each material or substance, describe the methods, volume, and frequency of transport (include type of containers and <br />vehicles), procedures for use of materials or substances, methods, volume, and containers for disposal of materials and <br />substances, security (fencing), identification (signingfteling), or other special operations requirements necessary to conduct the <br />proposed operations. <br />Diesel fuel is transported in an approved 75- gallon tank which is attached to the 4WD truck. Refueling takes place <br />approximately every other day. <br />3. Describe the measures to be taken for release of a reportable quantity of a hazardous material or the release of a toxic <br />substance. This includes plans for spill prevention, containment, notification, and cleanup. <br />There will be no release of toxic materials due to this operation. None of the mined substances produce any toxic <br />substances. In the event of an accidental fuel spill, we will follow the reporting rule as outlined by the state division of <br />reclamtion, mining, and safety, 2 Aug 2005. This includes notifying the South Park Ranger District. It includes treating <br />with aeration and introducing oil- degrading bacterial. <br />afmore space is needed to fill out a block of information, use additional sheets and Mach form <br />0 <br />
