Plan of Operations for El Rancho Bondo <br /> include high banking. Hand sluices and pans would be applicable <br /> year round. <br /> o Currently access is restricted foot traffic on an existing path. <br /> Permission has been granted to pass through the property of <br /> American Adventure Expeditions located at the intersection of Hwy <br /> 50 and Copper Gulch Road. See attached letter. It is in the <br /> interests of the claim owners to access the claim by ATV to assist <br /> reclamation efforts. Cleaning rock fall and debris from the trail (by <br /> hand) is necessary; the trail is already wide enough for ATV <br /> access. No other modifications are needed and no additional <br /> reclamation effort will be required. <br /> • Reclamation Plan Requirements 3809.401(B)(3) <br /> o Material being processed is in the bank 30-50 feet from the river. <br /> o Operations are purely by hand so very little disturbance to the land <br /> will occur. Reclamation will also be completed using hand tools. <br /> o Riparian mitigation is not anticipated to be an issue due to the very <br /> small areas affected by hand diggings. <br /> o Topsoil will be conserved by stockpiling it and seeding it to prevent <br /> erosion. This area is very protected from wind and other elements <br /> so erosion is not expected to be significant. In this way old <br /> diggings may be backfilled thereby not changing the landscape only <br /> moving material from place to place. <br /> o Topsoil is on average 12"thick in areas where workings would <br /> occur. <br /> US <br /> Y <br /> ^.` eta•y, ' . a"' �.
