J. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, <br /> impoundments): <br /> None <br /> K. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to <br /> streams, penetration of ground water aquifers): <br /> The proposed drilling locations are 1,150 feet east of Bedrock Creek,and 600 higher in elevation. Interception of groundwater is not anticipated Shou d a saturated <br /> zone be encountered,the saturated zone will be sealed with a concrete plug,and the'plug'drill through with a smaller diameter bit.Traditional aquifers typically require <br /> groundwater.The rocks to be intersected by the proposed drilling in the La Plata Mountains are not sedimentary but are intrusive rocks(diorites and syenites'.that are <br /> typically dense or 9ighr,with interlocking mineral grains that have no porosity In areas,like around Copper Hill,where intrusive rocks are the dominant rock type. <br /> drought conditions are not currently being ted by active runoff.However,it an unanticipated small fracture hosting water is encountered it <br /> can easily be contained through cementing of the interval(as described in the NOq and by approved and mandated hole plugging methods when the hole is completed <br /> IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES: <br /> 1. The Board suggests that a photographic record of the pre-prospecting and <br /> post-prospecting conditions be kept by the prospector. These photos should be taken <br /> from the same location and by the same method to clearly show the pre-prospecting <br /> condition of the land and the reclamation efforts. Upon completion of reclamation and <br /> request for bond or surety release, the Board may consider the photos as evidence of <br /> adequate reclamation,and thus,be able to act more quickly on the request for release. <br /> 2. Provide a description of the native vegetation of the area to be disturbed, including <br /> tree, shrub, and grass communities of the area. Color photographs, sufficient to <br /> adequately represent the ecology of the site and adequately labeled (including date, <br /> orientation and location), may be used in lieu of a written description. Based on the <br /> quality of the photographs,the Division may require additional detail. <br /> Drilling is proposed to occur within the prism of an existing road.
