6 (FORM 2 -Public filing) <br /> 8. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged,stockpiled and redistributed for the re-establishment of <br /> vegetation. Specify approximate topsoil redistribution depth: <br /> Topsoil varies from 0.5 feet to 2 feet depending on location on site. Hilltops have less, and valley <br /> bottoms ave more. Any top soil encountered uring surtace clisturbing exploration activities that are no <br /> of the disturbed area. Any bedrock materials located below, will then be moved separately. Upon <br /> completion of the exploration of the site, the bedrock materials will be replaced and any previously <br /> stockpiled soils well be used as eover. The areas will then be Fevegetated as seen as practieel (less than­ <br /> 5 years) with the preferred time of seeding being in fall or spring to take advantage of seasonal moisture <br /> and natural cycles to establish vegetation. <br /> 9. Describe how drill holes will be plugged(refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required abandonment procedures): <br /> Since no holes are anticipated to encounter groundwater, all drill holes will be securely <br /> capped, in accordance with Rule 5.2.4 (5) ("securely capped as approved by this office") <br /> and a report shall p filed with e office as required under Rule 5.7. <br /> 10. Describe how portals, adits, shafts,ponds, excavations,or other disturbances will be reclaimed(refer to Rule 3 and Rule 5 for <br /> specific reclamation performance standards). You may wish to contact the Division for closure specifications. <br /> No portals, shafts, ponds, or significant excavations are anticipated. If found to be <br /> necessary, any drill pads that might be constructed on non-previously disturbed land will <br /> be returned to approximately i i , will with i <br /> by Soil Conserygtion Service nr PnainPPr if original mix is found to not hP availahlP_ Any <br /> mud pits, if used, will be closed by pumping the cuttings and drill fluid into the drill hole, <br /> and covered as part of the reclamation of the drill pad area. Any other new disturbances <br /> will be treated in a manner similar to drill pa s. <br /> 11. Describe how roads will be reclaimed or returned to their pre-prospecting(or better)condition: <br /> ExiStiAg roads and pre-voo u s- d istuirb-2 nc-e s- 2-re not part of the affe-cted aGreage, so will be <br /> left in approximately their previous condition prior to exploration. Any roads that might be <br /> constructed in newly disturbed areas will be reclaimed, topsoil replaced, and seeded with <br /> an appropriate grass mix when no longer needed. s has been discussed above, only very <br />
