As ­Ani "P ieyins from he ;nor ' East co:1: . r of 7oltec No . 2 as <br /> sKawn on the survey platt 4551 a branch wi11 be cut from LV <br /> roc;; face to provide a workiny area for surface mining. Assays <br /> of the outcrop indicate the tctal area of the outcrop is mineral- <br /> ized to a value that would be profitable to mine , therefore there <br /> will be no waste rock or overburden. There will be little or <br /> .no reclaimable area for a minimum of 50 ( fifty) feet, where the vein <br /> dips beneath a Quartz cap which shows some mineralization, with <br /> 2 to 4 inches of topsoil which has washed onto it by snow melt. <br /> This area is approximately 200 feet wide beyond which the Quartz <br /> cap and barren rock covers the surface . <br /> Surface mining by blocks of 20 to 30 feet at a time should limit <br /> disturbance of the area. as miring progresses to any soil or <br /> vegetation disturbance , the soil will be removed and stored for <br /> replacement in areas where removed. The replacement of soil, <br /> and replanting will be done as a new section of the ore body is <br /> mined as to miniAze the effect on the little areas of vegetation, <br /> and promote faster regrowth of reseeded plants . Mined are=.as will <br /> be graded as to limit erosion and promote water retention in the <br /> available soil. Reseedino of those kinds of native vegetation as <br /> mentioned in the U .S . Soil conservation survey (Exhibit-D) in like <br /> density of ground cover will n done as Commercial seed is <br /> available . If a like spe ::ie i 3 not available , a similar proven <br /> type of seed will be used . <br /> Upon completion of the surface mining , a portal will be cut into the <br /> rock where no further disturbance of the area will be done ,except <br /> for roads for working to the mine portal. Storage of mined ore will <br /> be on the Quartz outcrop as not to damage other vegetation. <br /> The aortal area and road to the portal would be reclaimed in a <br /> like nanner as described above . <br /> I would like to leave exsisting roads on ray patented property, open <br /> as they are used by many people for jeening or mike riding, Hiking, <br /> and other recreation purposes . <br /> n conclusion, I would also .Like to state that I was raised in the <br /> Floral and Greenhouse business and have a good appreciation of the <br /> natural beauty of the area. I am also a Hunter, Fisherman and Conser- <br /> vation beliver-, so I want to pass down this property in better <br /> condition than. I found it to my children. <br />
