J. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, <br /> impoundments): <br /> Existing historic ponds/impoundments will be utilized to collect and settle the fines from <br /> the gravel wash plant. 4 sets of ponds have been identified on Map E-1. North Dry <br /> Ponds: 6.4 acres, 83k CYD, South Dry Ponds: 93k CYD, Hallenbeck Workings: 39k CYD, <br /> Stams Pits: 62k CYD. <br /> K. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to <br /> streams,penetration of ground water aquifers): <br /> The water table is shallow and will be exposed by excavations. Process water will be <br /> provided by existing water rights Uf the property or a lease with the County water bank. <br /> Upon reclamation total exposed water surface area with be less than or equal to the <br /> existing acreage of ponds. <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 areas to be explored are either sage brush and grass communities or pure grass <br /> communities. The ground currently has snow cover so pictures are not available. Prior <br /> tn dosturhance' photos will betaken of the explorabon areas Adjacentlindistl1rhed <br /> ground will be used as a reference for reclamation success. <br /> Form 2—Public File Page 8 of 14 <br />
