(Form 2 — (Public File) <br />D. Other Disturbances (please describe): <br />New road construction is needed to proposed core drilling site located on the Fossil unpatented lode claim. <br />USFS roads will not be used in plan of operations. Construction of a 12 ft wide road having easement of 20 ft <br />will spur NW from CO Hwy 82 and extend 400 ft to proposed drill site as shown on attached USGS map <br />(figure 4 page 4). <br />The application is pending with CDOT (form # 137) for right of way access from Hwy 82 (Appendix 1). A <br />CDOT specialist has performed an onsite visit and had no concerns with road access proposed plans. <br />The road will be constructed from natural earth excavated on site for grading along with estimated 40 yards of <br />pit run and road base material to be hauled in by truck. Top soil will be removed and stock piled 50 ft from the <br />NW comer of the drill pad for future reclamation. Road cuts will be minimal (not exceeding 4 ft) and can be <br />handled by a dozer and loader. Water diversion channels will be dug on each side of road easement to <br />connect with the 2 large culverts placed 200 ft from road entrance. <br />Disturbances include removal of top soil and removal of brush. No timber removal is necessary and no large <br />pits will be excavated. Brush will be disposed of at the county land fill. <br />Two 48" X 12' culverts will be installed at a snow melting runoff area and one 24" X 12' installed at the road <br />entrance. <br />The road will have crown to ensure water runoff. Maintaince of the access road will be performed as needed <br />basis by grading and use of water for dust abatement. <br />The proposed road and drill pad construction program will operate 9 -10 hours a day, 6 days a week for <br />estimated 3 weeks. No night operations are planned. <br />Access road will be used to haul to drill pad the drilling equipment on a truck/low bed trailer. Daily trips on <br />road include a water truck, security vehicle and a worts pickup. <br />A drill pad will be constructed at the end of the road to accommodate core drilling equipment. <br />E. Indicate Chemicals and Fuels used or stored on site. List type, <br />quantity and method to store. <br />Diesel fuel, coolant and oil lubricants will be used for the operation of the generator, fork lift and drilling <br />machine. No bulk fuels, coolant or lubricants will be stored on site. Diesel fuel delivery to generator and <br />fork lift will be handled from a double walled 50 gallon tidy tank mounted in a Driller company pickup and <br />pumped directly into the generator and fork lift fuel tanks. Lubricants and coolants will be delivered to site <br />as needed. <br />Additives if used will be delivered to drill machine by a Driller company pickup in spill protected boxes. <br />Additives are sometimes used for drilling purposes. These include gels, linseed lube, rod grease and <br />biodegradable polymers. Additives that may be used meet NSF /ANSI 60 standards. Any products used <br />end up in the lined sump which will be reclaimed at the end of drilling program. <br />
