The Applicant has estimated 233 cubic yards of material will be excavated in order to construct the <br /> drill pad. Pursuant to Rule 3.1.5, all grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and siltation <br /> of the affected land. Please commit to backfilling the drill pad with the excavated material once the <br /> drill hole has been permanently abandoned. <br /> 2. The Applicant has stated a dump truck will be used to transport the excavated materials to the north <br /> end of the Santiago#1 for further use. Clarify if the material to be transported will be generated from <br /> the excavation of the drill pad and specify how the Prospector will use this material. Also, see <br /> additional comments under Item No. 1. <br /> 3. The Applicant has stated"permanent abandonment of the drill cap will have final backfilling of <br /> estimated 6-8 ft".
