surface. All drill holes will be marked with a metal fence T-post with hole number <br />identification attached to the fence post for future reference. <br />VIII. <br />IX. <br />Reclamation Program <br />Reclamation of drill sites/roads will occur as soon as possible after completion ofthe drilling <br />and evaluation activities on each site. The onset of winter weather may dictate that final <br />reclamation activities may not be fully completed until summer of the following year. Any <br />drill pads and associated access roads associated with any hole that may become a <br />monitoring well site may be only partially reclaimed to protect the hydrologic balance buf be <br />left in a condition that will allow periodic well monitoring. <br />Reclamation activities will include plugging drill holes as mentioned in the previous section, <br />regrading any cut and fill associated with road or drill location construction to approximate <br />original contour, spreading topsoil, scazifying topsoil, and reseeding. <br />The following seed mixture and rate of application will be utilized: <br />Western Wheatgrass <br />Mountain Brome <br />Kentucky Bluegrass <br />Sanfoin <br />TOTAL <br />Bond Estimate <br />4 pounds per acre <br />4 pounds per acre <br />2 pounds per acre <br />2 pounds er acre <br />12 pounds per acre <br />Colowyo has not calculated the bond and respectfully requests that the Division calculate the <br />required bond for Colowyo. Upon review and consensus between Colowyo and the Division <br />on the calculated bond amount, Colowyo will obtain a Performance Bond or other acceptable <br />Security as per Rule 3.05. <br />The following information is presented to aid the Division in calculating the bond. <br />In total, 37 sepazate drill locations are planned for this program. <br />12 of the sites will not require bonding for surface or road disturbance since they aze within <br />the active stripped area of the West Pit and Section 16 disturbed mining azea which is <br />covered under the mining bond and will be reclaimed as part of the fmal pit reclamation. <br />N:\CCC ENGWAN~DMGWOI DOC\07N01\07 NOI TexLdoc <br />l026/Ob <br />tt <br />
