Mr. Dustin Czapla <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />• Clearing of reclaimed vegetation and leveling of ground surfaces leading up to and <br />adjacent to the surface disturbance areas to facilitate access, staging, and <br />handling of equipment and reagents. This surface disturbance will be limited and <br />consistent with road maintenance activities routinely conducted at the Pitch <br />Reclamation Project. <br />Treatment Residuals Management <br />Activities associated with the treatment residuals management program include staging <br />of equipment (including but not limited to plastic water storage tanks/totes, flow meters, <br />pumps, conveyance piping, and secondary reagent containment) at points adjacent to the <br />North Pit Lake and Indian drainage (Figure 3 and Figure 7). This equipment will be <br />staged on flat ground and will require minimal to no regrading or clearing of vegetation. <br />Fencing will be installed along the perimeter of equipment staging areas as necessary. <br />Reclamation of 2017 Disturbed Areas <br />a Surface disturbances and infrastructure installed in 2017 requiring eventual reclamation <br />will include drilling disturbances, recirculation/monitoring wells that will require eventual <br />plugging and abandonment, and infrastructure associated with LPL activities. <br />QReclamation of 2017 disturbed areas will include the following: <br />• Disturbances associated with drilling will be temporary. These areas will be <br />arestored to pre -drilling conditions immediately following drilling. <br />• The proposed wells will be used as part of the long-term monitoring program <br />associated with uranium load reduction system implementation. When warranted, <br />a the wells will be abandoned in accordance with Rule 16 of the Colorado Water <br />Well Construction Rules. <br />• Injection platforms and conveyance piping will be maintained across multiple <br />D seasons to support LPL activities. Reclamation of disturbed areas following the <br />completion of injection activities will include removal of piping and engineered <br />structures, including removal of concrete pads. <br />[� • Disturbed ground in each area will be re-contoured and revegetated, with grading <br />�j for drainage, scarifying/harrowing, and fertilizing to be conducted as necessary for <br />proper reclamation. <br />Augmentation of the Approved Seed Mix <br />0 <br />C <br />I <br />In addition to surface disturbances associated with the uranium load reduction activities <br />described above, HMC also proposes an augmentation of the approved seed mix as part <br />of the requested Technical Revision. The currently -approved seed mixture and summary <br />of usage is as follows: <br />Homestake Mining Company %% PO Box 40, Sargents, Colorado 81248 <br />
