<br />15 | P a g e <br /> <br /> <br />The road going through the ESR site shall remain as-is to allow access to the existing <br />well located on the ESR site, which the operator is re-permitting for livestock and wildlife <br />uses. The well will eventually be converted to solar power and a stock tank will be <br />installed. <br /> <br />The post-mine land use for this area will be Rangeland. This use was chosen due to the <br />consistency with adjacent land use and location not nearing current oil and gas <br />operations. <br /> <br />Miscellaneous Work: <br /> <br />The miscellaneous work to be completed on the site consists of removal of an additional <br />16 electrical poles (60’ tall) and Plug and Abandoning 25 existing monitoring wells. The <br />additional poles run from area 18A towards the entrance of the Colony Mine. These <br />poles were installed in preparation to provide power to future infrastructure that was <br />never built. These 16 poles are in addition to the poles being removed from area 18A. <br />These poles are an ‘H-Braced’ style pole and the poles shall be cut and removed from <br />their locations. Although the ‘H-braced’ style isn’t as simple as falling a single pole, the <br />same methodology shall be used to remove, meaning, the poles will be cut and fell at <br />the same time. Once on the ground, the braces (made of wood) shall be disconnected <br />from the falling poles and removed along with the poles. This work shall be completed <br />with minimal disturbance, and any disturbance made shall be reseeding using hand <br />broadcast method resulting in an estimate of a total of 0.8 acres of seeding. The wells <br />shall be plugged and abandoned following the steps provided in ‘Colony Mine Water <br />Wells’ section below. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
