17) (Optional) Please provide additional information about the Mine Plan: <br /> The operation from start to final reclamation will consist of 7 phases and 2 Project Areas: <br /> Phase 1 - our current and bonded area. <br /> Ridgetop Project Area: <br /> Within the 25 foot x 50 foot area of disturbance,we have already removed all of the topsoil and <br /> overburden down to bedrock. This material was sorted into topsoil and smaller rocks into one pile, with <br /> the larger rocks into another, located 25 feet east of main dig area. Top soil has been seeded with <br /> recommended seed mix, based on specs provided by the DRMS to enrich the soil until reclamation and <br /> permanently reseeded. <br /> Phase 2 <br /> Ridgeton Project Area. <br /> The BLM has requested that we move forward on the fence that was approved on our original Plan of <br /> Operations. I feel that fence was overlooked in the initial permit with the state, so it will be defined <br /> within this phase. This is to address public safety issues and to cut down on "willful ignorance" of the <br /> claim boundaries and signs. This fence based on a 1 foot wide disturbance will add 0.01 acres to the <br /> permit. The Public Safety Fence that will be installed will be: <br /> Le^.gth=34-}foot <br /> Materials=5ft tall, 2"x 4" Steel Mesh +66"#5 Steel Rebar drilled into 18" into bedrock with <br /> lightening caps. Total number of posts=30. Spacing is varied based on area and nature. <br /> Reclamation of this fence would take approx. 8 hours and material would fit in a pickup truck. <br /> Other expansions in this phase include: <br /> Iarea ff. Uisttff Dal fl.0 Cx­fJQf IC-4A3 to 4.0;vvi x 60 cv�vL aiCa of disturbance. <br /> -Permit depth changes from 40 foot to 120 foot. <br /> -Creation of an additional waste dirt pile (15 foot x 30 foot)for change of depth. <br /> -Creation of a subsurface portal over the existing vertical shaft(pre-existing disturbance)that is below <br /> the reclamation level. <br /> -Creation of structure to connect the subsurface portal to the current surface. <br />
