Proposed 2016 Operations <br /> Mechanized operations will again consist of two sessions, approximately the last week in May <br /> and the last week of September. Hand digging and screening of mined material using a <br /> mechanized shaker will occur throughout the summer. <br /> The current excavation at Site B/C will be extended north and to the east to continue excavation <br /> of the site where topsoil was removed by the previous claimant at Site B. This area totals <br /> approximately 0.6 acres and will eventually be mined and reclaimed. It is included as presently <br /> disturbed area. The excavation will also be extended to the west boundary of the permit site. If <br /> this is completed, backfill will begin on the northwest area of the claim and proceed east. <br /> Anticipated 2016 Disturbances: <br /> Approximately 0.02 acre of new area will be disturbed during the 2016 season. More time will <br /> be expended screening gravel that has previously been stockpiled. <br /> Proposed 2016 Reclamation: <br /> Minor areas on the corners of the permit site may be reclaimed. Other areas are open for working <br /> the gravel which has been stored. Any reclaimed areas will be recontoured and reseeded. <br /> Sufficiency of Bond: <br /> A reclamation bond of$ 8,477 is held by the State of Colorado. This bond is set aside to cover <br /> annual and final reclamation efforts for this mining permit. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> 4 .._-` <br /> JOSEPH L.
