MR-49 Drill Site Location <br /> Minor Revision MR-49 to this permit document consists of drilling an exploration drill <br /> hole on BLM surface area. This exploration drill program involves completion of 1 <br /> borehole within the C-1981-035 permit area. The borehole will further define coal <br /> reserves for future mine planning. The proposed borehole will be drilled utilizing <br /> already disturbed portions of the access roads, a temporary cross-country travel <br /> route and a very small "drill pad". The "drill pad" will be approximately 50' x 50' and, <br /> other than a small cuttings pit, will not permanently damage topsoil or undergrowth. <br /> Some oak brush and rabbit brush may need to be cleared for drilling equipment <br /> access. <br /> The "drill pad" will be located on Pulpit Loam soil. Soil salvage for disturbance within <br /> this soil series may yield depths up to 30" of topsoil and subsoil (B horizon) <br /> materials. Salvage should be terminated with the encountering of the sandstone <br /> parent material, regardless of depth. <br /> Ecosphere Environmental Services, Inc. of Durango, Colorado performed a natural <br /> resource survey of the proposed drill site and issued a report dated July 9, 2019 <br /> (see Appendix 8(7). <br /> GCC Energy, LLC King II Mine <br /> Section 2.04.9 <br /> Page 7 July 16, 2019 (MR-49) <br />
