This restriction may be <br /> waived if a survey, approved by the authorized officer, indicates the area is unsuitable for <br /> nesting habitat. <br /> (t) No surface disturbance shall be allowed within 200 feet of an active stream <br /> channel supporting riparian vegetation, springs, ponds, or reservoirs in order to avoid <br /> degradation of potential riparian conditions or water sources. <br /> (g) All activities off existing maintained roads that result in surface rutting in excess <br /> Of four inches shall be suspended during periods of adverse conditions such as thawing, <br /> (heavy rains, snow, or flooding. Restoration of excessive ruts shall be required. <br /> (h) Any fences that are cut during the course of operations shall be repaired or <br /> replaced. <br /> (i) All exploration drill holes must be capped with at least five feet of cement and <br /> plugged with a permanent plugging material that is unaffected by water and hydrocarbon <br /> gases and will prevent the migration of gases and water in the drill hole under normal hole <br /> pressures. For exploration holes drilled deeper than stripping limits, the licensee, using <br /> cement or other Suitable plugging material approved by the Little Snake Resource Area <br /> i`lanager, shall plug the hole through the thickness of the coal bed(s) or mineral deposit(s) <br /> and through aquifers for a distance of at least 50 feet above to 50 feet below the coal bed(s) <br /> or mineral deposit(s) and aquifers or to the bottom of the drill hole. A lesser cap or plug <br /> may be approved by the Little Snake Resource Area Manager. Item A illustrates the <br /> minimum requirements for plugging drill (toles. <br /> (j) One copy of the drill hole data, including lithologic and geophysical logs, coal <br /> analyses, and any cross-sections and isopach maps shall be submitted to the Little Snake <br /> Resource Area Manager within 30 days after each calendar year. The requirements for <br /> submission of drilling and abandonment information are given to the licensee herewith as <br /> Item B. The licensee's location map must show access trail locations and exact hole <br /> locations appropriately identified by number or letter. Submitted data must be tied to the <br /> hole number or letter designation. All holes shall be geophysically logged with natural <br /> gamma, density, caliper, or resistivity logs. <br /> This license consists of the terms and conditions in Sec. l through 14 on seven pages, of <br /> which this is the seventh page, the licensee's approved exploration plan. Item A which <br /> illustrates mininnim requirements for plugging drill holes, and Item B which outlines the <br /> requirements for submission of drilling and abandonment intormation. <br /> CYPRUS EMPIRE CORPORATION qsE <br /> TATES OF M A <br /> Qy w ��crJ <br /> Frank J. , a od dwards.
