disturbance, soil materials will be recovered and stockpiled for later use in reclamation, as appropriate. <br />The maximum anticipated road maintenance /construction disturbance requirements will be <br />approximately 5,700 feet (3.3 acres with a 25 ft. maximum road disturbance width). <br />Drill pads will be approximately 250 x 250 feet (1.43 acres), with soil material stripping limited to an <br />area around the drillhole collar, and the area surrounding any mud pits necessary to support drilling <br />operations, in order to minimize disturbance and facilitate site reclamation. If additional site work is <br />required to establish a level pad, any affected areas will be stripped and the soil material stockpiled for use in <br />reclaiming the site. Wattles, sediment fence, and/or berms will be used to control site drainage and prevent off - <br />site sediment transport, with drainage and sediment control for the associated disturbance being addressed as <br />Small Area Exemptions (SAE's). Nominal 9.625 -inch drillholes (with 10.75 -inch hole for surface casing <br />to 40 ft. depth) will be completed using conventional rotary drilling methods and drilling mud as the <br />circulation medium, to depths of approximately 1,300 feet (WC -008A) and 1,600 feet (WC -028), <br />respectively. Core samples will be recovered from the drillholes, and both drillholes will be <br />geophysically logged. On completion of drilling and logging, Corehole WC -028 will be plugged and <br />sealed in accordance with State Engineer requirements, and the drill -site will be reclaimed. Drillhole <br />WC -008A will be cased, completed, and developed as a groundwater monitoring well, and the area <br />around the well -bore will be reclaimed. <br />This submittal includes revised PAP text and supporting materials, as identified by the accompanying <br />Summary of Revisions /Additions. In order to complete drilling and hydrologic characterization of the <br />Wadge -Wolf Creek Interburden unit, as a pre- requisite for initial development of the Wolf Creek <br />Reserve (under TR13 -83), TC needs to initiate the proposed activities as soon as possible, and <br />therefore, requests the assistance and cooperation of the CDRMS is completing review and approval of <br />this application in a timely manner.
