J. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, <br /> impoundments): <br /> Water pits will be dug near the test sites. The gravel excavated from the water pit will be included in the <br /> 100 yaFd test sample. The washed gFave.l woll be rP_fiUFRed to the wateF pet. That aFea will be roveFed by <br /> six inches of topsoil and seeded with native grasses that are capable of regeneration without dependence <br /> on irrigation or fertilization. Each test site will be reelairned before moving to another location. <br /> K. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to <br /> streams, penetration of ground water aquifers): <br /> The only surface water on the property is from the Slater Ditch. Test sites will be located <br /> more than 100 feet from Y surface water. <br /> The water table is less than 5 feet below the surface. Water discharged from the trommel <br /> will not deteriorate the quality of the ground water and will be returned to the aquifer. <br /> The disturbed area wa" be backfilled and 6 inches topsoil will be replaced then reseeded. <br /> IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES: <br /> 1. The Board suggests that a photographic record of the pre-prospecting and <br /> post-prospecting conditions be kept by the prospector. These photos should be taken <br /> from the same location and by the same method to clearly show the pre-prospecting <br /> condition of the land and the reclamation efforts. Upon completion of reclamation and <br /> request for bond or surety release, the Board may consider the photos as evidence of <br /> adequate reclamation,and thus,be able to act more quickly on the request for release. <br /> 2. Provide a description of the native vegetation of the area to be disturbed, including <br /> tree, shrub, and grass communities of the area. Color photographs, sufficient to <br /> adequately represent the ecology of the site and adequately labeled (including date, <br /> orientation and location), may be used in lieu of a written description. Based on the <br /> quality of the photographs,the Division may require additional detail. <br /> The rangeland consists of primary Idaho fescue, carex, blue gamma and mountain <br /> muhly. <br /> Form 2—Public File Page 8 of 14 <br />
