A trackhoe would be used for up to 120 days for upgrading the ATV/UTV trail,grading of existing waste rock,and
<br /> reclamation. The operator plans to use a four wheel drive vehicle and an all-terrain vehicle for travel on the access road.
<br /> There is a gate in place on this access road restricting unauthorized motorized traffic.
<br /> In addition,equipment utilized for exploration and target development will include a Niton Portable XRF analyzer,an
<br /> EzeBreak Micro Blaster unit,jackleg drill, picks&shovels,air compressor,hydraulic splitter and saw,30 kw small
<br /> generator,tool box,timber,air compressor,pipe&hardwater,hoisting equipment,overshot air powered mucking
<br /> machine,Blusher, backhoe,2-5 yard loader,small dozer(650),ore car,electric or air trammer,core drills,long-hole drills
<br /> (down-hole and/or conventional), miscellaneous parts and repair kits and other necessary,and miscellaneous required
<br /> equipment.
<br /> E. Structures. include information about fixed or portable structures or facilities planned for the operation. Show locations on the
<br /> map. include such things as living quarters,storage sheds,mill buildings,thickener tanks,fuel storage,powder magazines,
<br /> pipelines,water diversions,trailers,sanitation facilities including sewage disposal,etc. include engineering design and geotechnical
<br /> information for project facilities,justification and calculations for sizing of tanks,pipelines and water diversions,etc.
<br /> Construction of a temporary 8"x16"storage shed or a 20ft shipping container would serve as a secure storage for tools
<br /> and equipment Lumber would also be stored next to the shed and be properly secured and not exceed 4ft stacks. No
<br /> timber will be cut;all timber and lumber will be purchased locally and transported to the property.A trailer will be utilized
<br /> for transporation of lumber and tools and will be stored onsi ht next to the stroage shed when not in use.
<br /> V. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES(SEE 36 CFR 228.8)
<br /> A. Air Quality. Describe measures proposed to minimize impacts on air qua*such as obtaining a burning permit for slash disposal
<br /> or dust abatement on roads.
<br /> Machinery would produce minimal dust during trail maintainence&operations and should not tarnish air quality. Access
<br /> by ATV and UTV will likewise produce minimal-to-no dust. No other proposed activities will be effecting air quality.
<br /> B. Water Quality. State how applicable state and federal water quality standards will be met. Describe measures or
<br /> management practices to be used to minimize water quality impacts and meet applicable standards.
<br /> i. State whether water is to be used in the operation, and describe the quantity, source, methods and design of diversions,
<br /> storage,use,disposal,and treatment facilities. Include assumptions for sizing water conveyance or storage facilities.
<br /> 2. Describe methods to control erosion and surface water runoff from all disturbed areas,including waste and tailings dumps.
<br /> 3. Describe proposed surface water and groundwater quality monitoring,if required,to demonstrate compliance with federal or
<br /> state water quality standards.
<br /> 4. Describe the measures to be used to minimize potential water quality impacts during seasonal closures,or for a temporary
<br /> cessation of operations.
<br /> 5. If land application is proposed for waste water disposal, the location and operation of the land application system must be
<br /> described. Also describe how vegetation, soil, and surface and groundwater quality will be protected if land application is
<br /> used.
