<br />would most likely be awarded the mining contract. It is <br />e:<pected that if he needed to hire additional crew members, <br />the contractor would loo4! first to the local mining labor <br />pool. <br />Other equipment and facilities at the Incas Mine could include <br />air driven drills, generators, compressors, fuel tanks, and <br />mucking machines if underground mining becomes feasible. <br />In summary, the proposed operation will not add appreciably to <br />the already disturbed conditions at the mine site. The total <br />area considered for redisturbance is less than five acres, <br />including the load transfer site. Less than half of the <br />access road is located on the Incas Claim Block; however, if <br />the Mined Land Reclamation Division wishes to consider the <br />entire access road as part of the disturbed lands. the total <br />roadway is less than five acres. This would be unreasonable <br />since most of the route is controlled by other landowners and <br />use maintenance, disturbance, etc. on other properties can <br />not be managed by the applicant. <br />It should be noted that with dump removal and the proposed <br />reclamation plan the mining operation will leave the site in a <br />better condition than exists at present. <br />The proposed mining operation will probably be completed in <br />two or three years. However, if underground deposits warrant, <br />mining could continue for several more years. As a result, <br />the applicant considers ten years as an appropriate time frame <br />to complete all proposed and anticipated mining and <br />reclamation activities. <br />
