(1) Describe measures will be taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic <br /> balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide stable configuration. <br /> • This is a very small mining/trenching operation that is typical only 6 to 10 feet wide and <br /> will get refilled about every 30 ft so only a very limited amount of trench will be opened <br /> at any given time. Amount of trench opened at any given time is constrained by steel <br /> plate holders for waste rock. <br /> • Trench to be backfilled and reclaimed as described in other areas of mining plan plus <br /> lined with new top soil as required and replanted. Note: No top soil will be imported <br /> from other locations. <br /> • Best practice of methods including hay bales and hydromulching of seed mixtures during <br /> back fill and road disturbances. See Illustration 2. <br /> • Replanting of disturbances as an ongoing process once an area has been refilled or road <br /> widening completed. <br /> (m) Specify whether the ore will be processed on site and nature of milling. <br /> • Hand sorted ore will run through the following process on-site as shown in further detail <br /> in Exhibit E Map 3: <br /> 1. Ore is initially hand sorted. <br /> 2. Material is crushed down to 3/8"minus in a jaw crusher. <br /> 3. Jaw crusher material is loaded into a ball mill with 20 mesh screen. <br /> 4. Material is then loaded into a Knudson Bowl for concentrating heavier minerals that <br /> is removed for further refining. <br /> 5. Recirculating water supply is stored in metal water troughs. <br /> 6. This is a water concentration process only. No chemicals or leaches will be used. <br /> 7. System (except for metal water troughs) is trailer mounted capable of running 1 to 2 <br /> tons of material per hour. Due to mucking of water and related cleanups required its <br /> estimated system is limited to running 4 to 6 tons per day. <br /> 8. Downhill portion of mill area lined with hay bales. <br /> 9. Material will be dewatered prior to backfilling. <br /> 10. Tank to tank siphoning to dewater. <br /> • Pursuant to rule 3.1.9 (2), woody vegetation utilized as fire wood, building materials, and <br /> mulch. Trees on proposed trenching plan will be removed and utilized as noted above to <br /> build structures for holding top soil, stony sandy loam plus firewood. <br /> Teton Drilling Inc. <br /> Dixie Mine-Clear Creek County,CO <br /> Updated Revisions—February 4,2016 <br /> Page 110 <br />
