Cultural Resource Considerations <br /> No conflict with cultural resources has been identified on the 6 proposed drill pads or temporary access <br /> routes. If cultural resources are identified during Project execution, project operations will cease and <br /> State and San Miguel County will be notified. <br /> Rock Characterization and Handling Plan <br /> No mining is proposed for this Project, and no bulk material extraction is anticipated. Drill core will be <br /> boxed at the drill site and transported to an off-site facility for processing. Drill cuttings will be buried in <br /> sumps and capped with topsoil, or collected for offsite disposal. <br /> Site Communications Plan <br /> Tarsis and its representatives will distribute a general monthly project plan notice to BLM, DRMS, COSLB <br /> and San Miguel County to notify of project plans,traffic expectations,and other relevant information. <br /> Tarsis will provide direct project coordinator contact information for questions and/or coordination <br /> purposes. <br /> Prior to project initiation,the following local entities will be notified: <br /> 1.

SMC Sheriff's Department <br /> Traffic Control Plan <br /> Tarsis will post signage at the entrance to the project area (intersection of CR 23R and HWY 141) <br /> indicating project traffic notices and presence.Safety, Caution and Controlled Area signs will be posted <br /> at intersections as needed during operations, as well as entrances to occupied drill pads. Drill pads will <br /> be treated as exclusionary access areas during project operations and will be fenced and/or signed off to <br /> all public access. <br /> Daily anticipated project traffic will consist of: <br /> • Shift change—(2)40 pickup trucks or ATVs leaving drill site, (2)40 pickup trucks or ATVs <br /> entering site <br /> • Water delivery—1 transfer of water using water tuck per 12-hour shift(to drill site,from drill <br /> site) <br /> • Drill site inspection, drill core pickup,geologist onsite—(1)40 pickup truck or ATV <br /> • Intermittent construction equipment(dozer, excavator)for drill pad development, road <br /> maintenance, reclamation <br /> Quality Assurance Plan <br /> The Project actions and tasks are designed to minimize surface, ecological, cultural and visual impact to <br /> the proposed project area.Operators, operator agents and contractors will implement regular <br /> monitoring of project parameters,from water usage and road conditions,to concurrent and post project <br /> reclamation. Implementation of Tarsis's,contractors' and agents' best management practices for active <br /> drill programs includes regular monitoring of drill sites and access routes for safety and cleanliness, and <br /> documentation and reporting of any deviations. <br />
