6 (FORM 1 -All hifornmation for DRMS use and confidential.f ling) <br /> 3. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged,stockpiled and redistributed for the re-establishment of <br /> vegetation. Specifv approximate topsoil redistribution depth: <br /> Topsoil varies from 0.5 feet to 2 feet depending on location. Hilltops have less, and valley bottoms have <br /> .,PgragatPd into a snil stnckpilP near the edge of the di-,hjrhed area_ Any bedrock materials located <br /> below, will then be moved separately. Upon completion of the exploration of the site, the bedrock <br /> materials will be replaced and any previously stocRpiled soils will be used as cover, I he areas will en <br /> be revagelated as soon as pracitral (less than 5 years), wiIh!13e preferred time ot seeding beffing in fall or— <br /> spring to take advantage of seasonal moisture and natural cycles to establish vegetation. <br /> 4. Describe how drill holes will be plugged(refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required abandonment procedures): <br /> Since no holes are anticipated to encounter groundwater, all drill holes will be securely <br /> capped, In accordance with u e ("securely capped as approved by this office") <br /> di Id a ,epo,t sl all be filed wit!, 1:1 ie office as ,equit ed undt:, Rule 5.7. <br /> 5. Describe how portals,adits,shafts, ponds,excavations,or other disturbances will be reclaimed(refer to Rule 3 and Rule 5 for <br /> specific reclamation performance standards). You may wish to contact the Division for closure specifications. <br /> No portals, shafts, ponds, or significant excavations are anticipated. If found to be <br /> necessary, any drill pas that might be constructed on non-previously disturbed landwill <br /> be rettin ied to approxii nately the original contour, will be covered wit'i rei,juved suils or <br /> Soil Conservation Service or engineer if original mix is found to not be available. Any mud <br /> pits, if used, will be closed by pumping the cuttings and drill fluid into the drill hole, and <br /> covered as part of the reclamation of the drill pad area. Any other new Is ur ances will e <br /> heated it. .milar to drill pads. <br /> 6. Describe how roads will be reclaimed or returned to their pre-prospecting(or better)condition: <br /> Existing roads and previous disturbances are not part of the affected acreage, so will be <br /> left in approximately their previous condition prior to exploration. Any roads that might be <br /> constructed in newly disturbed areas will be reclaimed, topsoil replaced, and seeded with <br /> an appropriate grass mix when no longer needed.
