on MCC privately held lands; or by USFS classified system Road 711 to Road 71 I2A in the Deer <br />Creek drainage and thence to 4WD roads along Lions Mesa to the Lick and South Prong Creek <br />drainages which are on MCC privately held lands. The routes selected will be determined by mad <br />conditions, exposure and safety for personnel and equipment, and scheduling of equipment with <br />other MCC drilling activities. MCC plans for general mad and drainage maintenance on the <br />Lions Mesa for 2005, which could include culvert repair and replacement, noxious weed control, <br />and fence repair and installation <br />MCC holds a current Road Use Permit for the 9.5 miles of mad from the tower corrals on <br />Minnesota Creek to the Deep Creek Crossing. MCC has applied for a Special Use Road Permit <br />from the Forest Service for the remaining 5.5 miles of FS roads that could potentially be used in <br />the drilling project. <br />Exploration Drill Hole CCC: <br />Accessed from FS 711 by an existing 0.13 miles of road utilized by the Minnesota Reservoir and <br />Canal Company for access to their cabin and irrigation ditch. <br />The pad would be constructed southwest of the ditch rider's cabin in an approximate 100'X135' <br />footprint leaving a minimum 50' buffer of existing aspen and understory for a visual screen from <br />the cabin. The pad will be brushed and cleared with a minimum amount of topsoil disturbed to <br />aid in reclamation MCC estimates''/z of the pad site would have topsoil scraped and salvaged in <br />an uphill location next to the pad site. At the completion of drilling the pad would be contoured <br />back to approximate original elevation, seeded, mulched, and fertiliT~d with the removed brush <br />and timber pulled back onto the pad. <br />Exploration Drill Hole FFF: <br />Accessed from FS 711 approximately 0.6 miles east of the Deep Creek Crossing via a 100' <br />temporary mad along an existing ATV track. <br />'The pad would be constructed south side of FS 711 in an approximate trapezoidal shape of <br />100'X90'X135'_ The site is on a peninsula of land between two intemuttent watercourses, which <br />may flow during spring runoff. The pad will be brushed and cleared with a minimum amount of <br />topsoil disturbed to aid in reclamation. MCC estimates '/2 of the pad site would have topsoil <br />scraped and salvaged in an uphill location next to the pad site. The pad will be brushed and <br />cleared with a minimum amount of topsoil disturbed to aid in reclamation. Vigilance and every <br />precaution will be taken to prevent any un-natural material from escaping the drill site including <br />temporary berms and additional sediment control devices. At the completion of drilling the pad <br />would be contoured back to approximate original elevation, seeded, mulched, and fertilized with <br />the removed brush and timber pulled back onto the pad. <br />Exploration Drill Hole DDD: <br />Accessed from FS 711 approximately 1.1 miles east of the Deep Creek Crossing, <br />The pad would be constructed on the north side of FS 711 in an approximate rectangular shape of <br />100'X135'. The site is on an ancient slump block bench. A zone of trees and understory will be <br />
