Lorencito Canyon Notice of Intent <br /> Any road spurs required will be constructed in such a manner as to minimize erosion and <br /> disturbance to the land surface using a dozer and/or track mounted excavator. The removal of <br /> trees will be avoided where possible. Brush will be disposed in accordance to the agreement with <br /> the landowners. The amount of disturbance at each drill site will be kept to a minimum. <br /> Topsoil Salvage <br /> Topsoil will be salvaged from the drill sites prior to their construction Salvaging will include <br /> removing the top 12 inches of soil or the amount available and stockpiling this material in the <br /> general vicinity of its removal in an area where it will not be removed from the drill site area. <br /> Stockpiles of topsoil will be compacted to prevent erosion by wind and other elements until used <br /> for reclamation. <br /> Diversion of Overland Flow <br /> Berms/ditches will be used to keep water from flowing off the drill pad and new road <br /> construction. There will be a silt fence down slope to catch sediment at the downslope side. <br /> Map 3 Typical Drill Pad Sloped and Map 4 Typical Drill Pad Flat show the typical drill pad <br /> design. Ditches will be constructed on the upslope side of the drill pad, and a sump should be <br /> built downslope side of the pad if pad is located on a natural hillside. For a naturally flat drill pad <br /> location ditches around the drill pad will surround the pad and lead to a silt fence to allow for the <br /> escape of water but retention of sediment. <br /> Settling Ponds <br /> No settling ponds will be used in this drill program. <br /> 5b. Specifically address: <br /> 5b-1)Locations and acreage of areas where topsoil will be salvaged and stored; <br /> A site inspection of each location has been completed and topsoil will be salvaged at every <br /> location. A foot of topsoil will be stripped at each pad site and be stored on the site. Topsoil at <br /> each drill pad will be stored on the upslope side of the drill pad when safe and practicable to do <br /> so to minimize risk of erosion as shown in Map 3 Typical Drill Pad Sloped and Map 4 <br /> Typical Drill Pad Flat. If stripping or leveling a drill site area is required for safe location of a <br /> drill pad, topsoil and overburden will be removed as required and saved separately, nearby in <br /> low mounds. It will be returned as soon as practicable. Topsoil and overburden will be stored on <br /> the upslope side of the drill pad when safe and practicable to do so to minimize risk of erosion. <br /> 5b-2) How much earth moving will be needed for new roads or drill sites,if any; <br /> Limited earth moving will be necessary for new roads and drill sites. Each pad is estimated to <br /> disturb 3,600 square feet. 450 ft of new road will be necessary. New road construction is very <br /> limited as the drill locations are located next to existing roads. The new roads will be used as part <br /> of the drill pad to minimize disturbance. The roads will be approximately 14 ft wide. Newly <br /> 9 <br /> 2020 Exploration Program 9/28/2020 <br />
