d. Mineral extraction will begin at N 39° 43.076, W 105° 36.797 which is near <br />center point of proposed disturbance. Direction is always up which is a NE <br />direction. <br />e. There are no man-made structures within 200 feet of property or proposed <br />disturbance. <br />f. Existing disturbances shown on attached map image from Google Earth labeled <br />"Existing Disturbances." See attached letter Illustration 1 from the Environmental <br />Protection Agency stating they have completed the mine waste clean-up within <br />this portion of the watershed. <br />3. Reclamation Plan Map <br />a. Road slope averages near 40 degrees. During reclamation process many areas will <br />require erosion nets and erosion logs. The proposed trenching area has a slope <br />that averages near 10 degrees. Similar to the road there will be areas that will <br />require erosion nets and erosion logs. <br />b. Vegetation in the form of a seed mix will be applied to all disturbed areas <br />including the trenched area and mining road. These areas leveled, as example road <br />berms leveled, then replanted with a seed mixture only so they can be utilized in <br />the future as a fire break. Therefore no trees or shrubs will get planted in disturbed <br />area. <br />c. There are no ponds. <br />d. Average thickness of replaced overburden will match previous U.S.D.A. land <br />survey website estimates. This varies from a few inches to near three feet of <br />overburden depending on exact location analyzed since bedrock is visible in some <br />areas. However, during reclamation this will change slightly due to leaving road <br />and trenched area as a fire break. The amount of topsoil and sandy loam of V to <br />3' thickness is normal for most of the hillside and would be replaced using best <br />methods to similar thickness. <br />e. Topsoil replaced to similar amounts as removed as noted above. The exception is <br />an estimate of 40 to 80 cubic yards of topsoil brought in during reclamation. This <br />is to ensure all disturbed areas have equal to or more topsoil than when starting the <br />limited impact operation. <br />6.3.6 Exhibit F Statement identifying which of the following permits, <br />licenses and approvals are held or will be sought: <br />a. Air Quality Emission Permit — Received APEN exemption due to size and scope <br />of equipment utilized. <br />b. State Historic Preservation Office Clearance — Contacted and they will not review <br />until a Reclamation Permit Number is assigned. <br />c. U.S. Forest / BLM — Property is Patented (private) and does not require access to <br />forestry or BLM property. <br />Teton Drilling, Inc. <br />Dixie Mine - Clear Creek County, CO <br />
