Equipment on site for this drill program may include: <br /> 1. One(1)diamond drill rig <br /> 2. Drill rod and casing tray(track,truck or skid mounted) <br /> 3. Possible recirculation system <br /> 4. Cuttings tank(s) <br /> 5. One(1)water truck <br /> 6. One (1)excavator <br /> 7. One (1)dozer or equivalent <br /> 8. Two(2)4x4 pickup trucks <br /> 9. Up to two(2)ATVs or UTVs as necessary to shuttle crews and supplies <br /> 10. Water lines/hose, Mud pump and mixing tanks for grouting/cementing of drill <br /> holes <br /> 11. Water tank(s)as needed <br /> 12. Equipment trailer, "seacan"or similar to house weather-sensitive <br /> equipment/materials <br /> The drill rig, drill rods,casing,cuttings tank(s),and rod rack storage will be used to <br /> conduct the exploratory drilling.This equipment will be used continuously throughout <br /> the project until the project is completed.The water truck will be used to haul water as <br /> needed directly to the drill site(s),or to an area where water may be transferred to drill <br /> pads via a water line.4x4 trucks and UTVs will be used to access the drill sites. <br /> The excavator,dozer, backhoe,etc.,will be utilized on an as-needed basis for clearing <br /> drill sites, maintenance,and reclamation.This equipment will be stored at the laydown <br /> when not in use. <br /> K. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater(proximity to streams, <br /> penetration of ground water aquifers): <br /> Water will be used for the drilling operations.All water will be sourced from an off-site <br /> location from municipal, public or private owners.Water source options are under <br /> evaluation by Tarsis at the time of this application submittal. Federal,state and county <br /> regulators will be notified of a final water source decision. <br /> Anticipated water consumption is approximately 2,000-10,000 gallons per 12-hour <br /> period,dependent on drilling conditions.Water will be transported to the laydown <br /> water storage tank,then to drill sites by the water truck and/or pumps and hose on an <br /> as needed basis. <br /> Drilling will utilize a sump or portable cuttings tank to retain drill cuttings and water. <br /> Where feasible,sumps will be constructed as a temporary pit by an excavator. In the <br /> absence of adequate soil cover,a portable cuttings tank will be utilized to efficiently <br /> recycle water during the drilling process and collect cuttings.Collected cuttings will be <br /> disposed of either in an alternative existing sump(e.g. on another drill pad),or offsite. <br /> No hazardous materials will be used for drilling. <br /> Careful considerations of topography and slope for surface water runoff and erosion <br /> control has been assessed for all proposed drill pad locations and anticipated surface <br />
