Type of Undertaking: Two exploratory core holes to track underground coal seam. <br />11. Size of Undertaking (acres): ca. 1.0 acres Size of Project (if different): 42.5 acres <br />12. Nature of Anticipated Disturbance: Cores will be taken by small truck mounted coring rig. Surface <br />disturbance will also include vehicular traffic, pipe stockpiling and small mud pits. <br />13. Comments: The areas inspected for both of these core holes are along existing access roads through the <br />areas that were surveyed for previous exploration programs. In both cases a large area of level to gently <br />sloping terrain around the proposed location (18.5 acres for AAA and 24 acres for BBB) was surveyed to <br />allow for slight relocation of the coring site. For core hole AAA approximately one-half mile of the full <br />width of the ridgetop was inspected and for BBB most of the gently sloping terrain and broad ridgetop <br />southeast of an intermittent tributary of Raven Gulch were surveyed. <br />
