58-14-199 <br /> The 1 installed Hydrology wells were plugged and abandoned winter of 2003, the plugging <br /> report submitted to CDRMS April 9, 2004. Pad 58-14-199 was formerly B3-14-L4 and within <br /> NOI P-2001-037 and then transferred to current NOI P-2003-018 in July 24, 2006. The well <br /> casing was cut off at 4ft below final grade, a metal cap welded with well name identification <br /> scribed on cap. The final reclamation phase was completed in the fall of 2010. The pad was <br /> de-compacted and restored to existing grade, stabilized topsoil was utilized to provide <br /> approximately 4" of topsoil covering prior to seeding. The pad was drill seeded per the <br /> approved BLM seed mix, stabilized by weed free straw mulch. In 2019, DRMS annual <br /> inspection it was noted a small depression at the northern side of the pad. Top soil was hauled <br /> to location, the area of concern was recontoured and seeded with BLM 2014 recommended <br /> seed mix and monitored. The continued efforts to monitor for noxious and annual weed <br /> management has been ongoing to current date and spot seeding where vegetation was stress <br /> from over grazing by the wild horses in the area. Currently there is a diverse vegetation <br /> throughout the pad with tall grasses in spring season and by mid-summer it is heavy grazed by <br /> the wild horses. CDRMS annual inspection determined the pad has sparse cover but sufficient <br /> grass established despite the continued grazing press. Overall vegetation density is low due <br /> to continuous grazing pressure but is greater than the adjacent undisturbed areas. No noxious <br /> or annual weeds observed. Final reclamation has been achieved. <br /> SIGNED STATEMENT: <br /> All reclamation requirements of prospecting NOI P-2003-018 for the Mahogany Research <br /> Project— Public Land Prospecting Project have been satisfied by virtue of no new surface <br /> disturbances being created at the proposed drill pad site or access route subsequent to NOI <br /> issuance. <br /> Signed: i gae4A, Printed Name: Samantha Baker <br /> 5 <br />
