4 '� Gt1ti <br /> Colorado State Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety RECEIVED <br /> May 23, 2014 10,'1 W 4 2014 <br /> 6.3.4 Exhibit C—Mining Plan UNISMOF RECLAMATION <br /> Regarding the storage buildings on mine site. There will be no permanent structures.TheCamp g and <br /> storage units refer to,two 10 x 15 foot solid wall canvas tents.One is intended to be for sleeping with <br /> storage of crews personal property and the second for cooking and supply storage i.e.mess tent.There <br /> will be additional coverage for environmental toilet,privy. All structures are portable and will be <br /> removed at end of digging season August 31,2014. <br /> Regarding the fuel storage on mine site.There.will be no storage of fuels on site. Fueling will be by a <br /> DOT certified tank 4-wheel drive truck that will deliver fuel as needed,approximately once a week.This <br /> vehicle is provided to us by the same company/providing rental of the excavator,and the fuel truck will <br /> not be parked on mine site.There will be a designated fueling site,with fuel havoc supplies on site <br /> within designated fueling area,and catch pan s in case of emergency contamination while fueling <br /> excavator.The proposed fueling site will be on US Forest road way.Total anticipated work time for <br /> excavator is less than 150 hours.See map for-fueling site location. <br /> Regarding the two acres disturbance on mine site.The mine site contains approximately 9.9 acres,and is <br /> the intent of mine owner to explore no more than 2 acres on this site. It is likely that no more than a%Z <br /> an acres will be prospected on in any one season,given the restraints of a short digging season, <br /> aproximately.3 months,and the logistics of hand sorting material,to extract gem minerals. Reclaiming <br /> will be done after each season with the exception of roadways which will be reclaimed by end of final <br /> mining reclamation plan projected to 2024. If mineralized areas are located,that cannot be fully <br /> explored in a single season,the mine owner v►iill still back fill the pits to protect deposits from looting by <br /> claim jumpers. It is the mine owners intention to leave no exposed pits between seasons.The pits and <br /> road ways calculate .27 acres,and that would be the extent of disturbance this season.There is no <br /> further disturbance projected,or planned for this year's digging exploration, beyond what the map <br /> illustrates. <br /> Regarding the length of roadways.There will be a 400 foot roadway between pits roughly trending east <br /> west in a horizontal plan connecting the two pits.The question on the access road,from existing forest <br /> Service road, is at best a speculation. Due to the irregular terrain, it is the mine owners intention to put <br /> in a road that will cause the least amount of dlisturbance. Due to the pitch of the property,a steep <br /> incline road with high upslope benching,would be to destructive and time consuming.So a more <br /> gradual transition to match slope could also be used. By varying the angle of approach,the entrance <br /> road could double in length. A 300 foot of road length should be ample to carry out.The primary use of <br /> this road/trail is to accommodate our excavator to reach its fueling site. <br /> /1�A /�es � {��` t9 9�1 4et9 1+HB/P 1 U n�i ri ✓t ' . / <br />
