(Form 2 — (Public File) <br />The 10' X 6' X 2' lined sump with 6 mill PVC will contain a percentage of return water not used and core drill <br />cuttings, along with any biodegradable drill polymers that may be used in drilling process. Additives that may <br />be used meet NSF /ANSI 60 -2003 Standards. <br />Portable spill containment systems will be placed under the drill machine and generator at all times to provide <br />secondary containment of diesel fuel and lubricant oils. This will prevent contact with any existing ground <br />water or surface water. <br />The like hood of encountering artesian flow during drilling is low. There is no known aquifer in the area; <br />however ground water may be encountered, occurring in fractures and faults. In the event ground water is <br />encountered water will be collected in a 2,000 gallon fresh water holding tank at drill site and reused. <br />Natural ground water and a 100 year flood event will be handled by two 48" and a 24 "culverts and berms and <br />ditches will be installed on each side of the proposed road in the 20'road right of way maximum drainage. <br />According to geologists and meteorologists the likely hood of a 100 year flood is highly unlikely due to altitude, <br />rock formations and soil structure. <br />A filed and approved notice of intent to core drill with the Colorado Division of Water Resources (form GWS- <br />51) as required is attached (Appendix 2). Water use will be obtained from holders of water right shares and <br />hauled by truck to the drill site. <br />IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES: <br />1. The Board suggests that a photographic record of the pre - prospecting <br />and post - prospecting conditions be kept by the prospector. These photos <br />should be taken from the same location and by the same method to clearly <br />show the pre - prospecting condition of the land and the reclamation <br />efforts. Upon completion of reclamation and request for bond or surety <br />release, the Board may consider the photos as evidence of adequate <br />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 <br />disturbed, including tree, shrub, and grass communities of the area. <br />Color photographs, sufficient to adequately represent the ecology of the <br />site and adequately labeled (including date, orientation and location), <br />may be used in lieu of a written description. Based on the quality of the <br />photographs, the Division may require additional detail. <br />Photos Attached... <br />No commercial or immature trees will be cut. Piles (berms) of top soil along certain sections of road will be <br />eliminated in reclamation process. <br />3. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged, <br />stockpiled and redistributed for the re- establishment of vegetation. <br />Specify approximate topsoil redistribution depth: <br />
