reclamation, when removed by the small equipment(when hand digging is occurring, all <br /> material is worked through the sluice together and stockpiling does not occur). <br /> Present vegetation is dominated by Russian thistle and cacti, as shown in Figure 3. Little to no <br /> riparian vegetation is present in the proposed work area, as shown in Figure 4. The small tractor <br /> equipment may be used during reclamation to fill holes and apply topsoil. Hand tools will <br /> continue to be used for filling and shaping reclamation as well. <br /> Proposed occupancy <br /> The operator would also like to stage a temporary, weather resistant, steel locker(tool chest) that <br /> will not be larger than 4' x 4' x 8' to store equipment securely on site. It is proposed that the <br /> locker would be located on the western edge of the proposed work area at the base of the hill in a <br /> place behind big boulders, in order to reduce its visibility. It is proposed that gasoline and other <br /> petroleum products used in motorized operations may be stored in this unit as well as equipment <br /> that will be used daily. The locker will be located a minimum of 100-feet from the edge of the <br /> river and will stay onsite for the remaining life of the mine and will be removed during final <br /> reclamation. It will be secured with a heavy duty lock. <br /> In addition, the small tractor may be left on site overnight while in use,but will be removed from <br /> the site during times of non-use. <br />
