Completion and approval of the Annual Bird Survey is anticipated by June 15. A <br />schedule of drilling is presented based on that date. Drilling should require 9 days per <br />hole including mobilization from site to site, setup, drilling, and rig down. The sequence <br />in which the MDW's are drilled may change dependent on the progress of the Panel 22 <br />gate development entries and the additional information that becomes available as a <br />result. <br />2003 MDW DRILL SCHEDULE <br />M140A 1M140B <br />No. Start date Finish Datel IHole No. Start date Finish <br />lb-JUn ZJ-JUn 3-UZ lb-JUn Z5-Jl <br />24-Jun 1-Jul 2-02a 26-Jun 5-J <br />2-Jul 9-Jul 2-02b 6-JUI 15-J <br />10-Jul 17-Jul 3-03a 16-Jul 25-J <br />18-Jul 25-Jul 3-03b 26-Jul 4-Ai <br />26-Jul 2-Aug 2-01 5-Aug 14-Ai <br />3-Aug 10-Aug 2-01a 15-Aug 24-At <br />11-Aug 18-Aug 3-01 25-Aug 3-Se <br /> 3-01a 4-Sep 13-Se <br />Delays due to mechanical breakdowns, inclement weather, hole conditions, <br />operational requirements, and permit approval are not represented in the schedule. MCC <br />will be contracting for two drill rigs to complete this aggressive schedule. <br />WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM <br />MCC will be installing and maintaining a water supply system to provide water to <br />the drill sites and for dust suppression activities. This system will minimize to a large <br />degree the need for water skidders and water trucks to travel the temporary roads. The <br />water supply system will include, but is not limited to, flexible hosing, rigid piping, water <br />pumps, and storage tanks. <br />MCC will install the water supply system prior to, or as soon as possible after the <br />construction of the drill pads. Intermediate use of water trucks to initiate the start of hole <br />drilling may be required. The hosing and /or pipes will be placed along side of existing <br />roads wherever practical. The lines will be anchored to prevent damage due to surging in <br />the lines. Flexible hosing will be laid out cross-country to minimize total line length <br />and/or to maximize operational efficiency of the system. Cross-country routes from the <br />Shaft Canyon Road to RAV 1 pad and from 23-OS over the ridge to a point just north of <br />the proposed drill pad location 24-OS along the West Flatiron Road are anticipated. MCC <br />would install, maintain, and recover these cross-country segments of the water lines by <br />hand in order to minimize impacts. <br />11 <br />
