Refueling onsite is unlikely, but If refueling is done on site, <br /> the fuel will be pumped from a barrel on a truck to the backhoe. There is almost no <br /> spillage, with this procedure. If it occurs, it will be much less than a gallon. If spillage <br /> should occur, our contingency plan is to shovel the diesel-soaked soil into the fueling <br /> truck. <br /> Where will the stockpiles be stored ? <br /> The material produced by our trenching operation will not be "stockpiles," as that term is <br /> commonly used and understood. The trenching product will be sample piles of <br /> subsurface material, for examination, testing, and analysis. Shortly after that procedure <br /> is completed, the remaining sample material will be placed back into the trench. The <br /> sample piles will be built by the trenching backhoe, and will be not more than 30 feet <br /> from the trench. <br /> Identify the access to the work site. <br /> Access to the work site will be by existing two-track road beginning at County Road 15 a <br /> short distance north of the NE corner of Section 3. <br /> Provide a reclamation cost estimate for the proposed operation. <br /> As explained previously, the amount of trench excavation and related reclamation will <br /> be dependent on the results of initial and subsequent excavation and testing, and the <br /> cost of reclamation cannot be reasonably predicted at present. <br /> Provide the time of beginning and ending your reclamation efforts. <br /> Likewise, as explained previously, the timing of our reclamation will be dependent on <br /> the timing of trench excavation, which cannot be precisely forecast at present. <br /> Clarify any water mitigation plans and[/or]if you intend to use additional water for <br /> operations. <br /> Our planned exploration consists essentially of removing material by trenching and <br /> replacing most or all of it back into the trench. As such, we anticipate no significant <br /> effect to the ground water that might be encountered, and have, accordingly, planned <br /> no mitigation measures. <br /> We do not intend to use additional water for operations on site, except perhaps for small <br /> washing/concentration tests of selected samples; we will provide such water, if needed, <br /> from containers brought to the site. <br /> Clarify if you plan to establish a trailer/RV site for longer than 14 days . <br /> We may elect to establish such a site and retain it for the extent of the prospecting <br /> program, but it won't be occupied for more than 14 days. <br />
