3. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged, stockpiled and <br /> redistributed for the re-establishment of vegetation. Specify approximate topsoil <br /> redistribution depth: <br /> This prospecting effort will not impact native topsoil. The proposed operations will occur <br /> on abandoned mine waste piles which, unless reclaimed,generally do not have topsoil. In <br /> instances where our operations do encounter topsoil the plan is as follows. <br /> Topsoil will be removed in a 1ft square located at the point of drilling and placed on a tarp. <br /> Following boring and back fill of the hole the stored topsoil will be placed in its original <br /> location and hand tools will contour to nearly original conditions and seeded. <br /> 4. Describe how drill holes will be plugged (refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required <br /> abandonment procedures): <br /> On the same day of drilling,boreholes will be backfilled with cuttings. Our reclamation <br /> will only consist of backfilling these boreholes with the same material that is extracted <br /> during the drilling process. <br /> 5. Describe how portals, adits,shafts, ponds, excavations, or other disturbances will be <br /> reclaimed (refer to Rule 3 and Rule 5 for specific reclamation performance <br /> standards).
