J. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, <br /> impoundments): <br /> No significant structures will be constructed. Core drill pads will be engineered with a <br /> catchment basin and no discharge of stormwater or flulds of any kind. Sediment control <br /> structures (silt fences or wattles) will be placed downslope from each core drill pad and <br /> water bars. See FIGURE 4-Core Drilling Pad Plans. <br /> K. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to <br /> streams,penetration of ground water aquifers): <br /> Core drill locations range from 2,000 to 3,000 feet from Rat Creek. To ensure protection of <br /> surface vvaters, all I ioles will be drilled with only water through t'ie alluvim i. d,id ii rto bedl ock <br /> where the holes will be cased. Casing will be sealed with cement or bentonite to contain and <br /> prevent drill fluids from entering the alluvium. Only NSF approved drilling fluids will be used in <br /> drilling beyond the casing Drill sumps will be lined Drilling may penetrate local occurrences of <br /> fracture controlled groundwater, but no artesian flow to the surface is anticipated. <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 /> The exploration area is located in sub-alpine habitat with areas of rocky outcrop and <br /> sub-crop material and detritus. Vegetation includes Engleman spruce and sub-alpine fir <br /> with *nrl,ls*ons of aspen I Indpr Stf)rV yades b,it inch des Kinnikin'k and Rocky <br /> Mountain Juniper. <br /> Form 2—Public File Page 8 of 14 <br />
