<br />EXFIIBIT "D" (Sheet 3 of 5 ) <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Hauling or pulling scarifying equipment into remote areas and using them on these <br />steep hillsides would not in this Operator's opinion accomplish any better results. <br />Re-seeding the site would probably be done it either the late fall or early spring <br />depending on weather/soil conditions. <br />Not as yet having definite professional testing, or recommendations from any expert <br />in the field, the Operator can not at this time make any comment as to the type, <br />application or amounts of fertilizer/mulch products that would be necessary to be <br />utilized. The Operator has never had to use these applications to obtain as good <br />or better cover than "original" in this area. <br />c. As stated above in (a) the Operator intends to follow the recommmendations given <br />by the U.S. Forest Service as they are the official administrators for government <br />land in the National Forests. The attached directive entitled "Recormnended Seed <br />Mix, South Park Ranger District, Pike National Forest" gives specifics regarding <br />seeding, fertilizing, mulching etc. <br />d. The lower elevation seed mix would be used and the seed quantity would be doubled <br />because hand broadcasting is the only method readily- available to the Operator. <br />e. The Operator does not have this information at this time. <br />5. The t140 streams in the area are as shown on the "Affected Lands" map -Crystal <br />Creek and Beaver Creek - drainage to the "South Platte" river. There are no <br />ponds or buildings associated with this "Operation". The proposed future land use <br />would be forest land. All of the existing two track roads/trails were existing <br />before this "Operation came upon the scene. They have always been used by <br />surveyors, loggers, miners, ranchers, four wheelers, hunters, hikers, fishermen <br />and other recreationists. <br />b. Waste rock dumps or piles will be used to backfill open excavations. There are no <br />impoundments, underground mine openings, or buildings associated with this "Operation" <br />Measures to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance include, but are not <br />limited to the placing of excavated materials in berms and/or piles that tend to <br />defeat erosion from surface run-off waters. <br />The "Operator" sincerely hopes that questions have been answered satisfactorily. <br />If not, further information or details will be provided on request. <br />The unpatented lode mining claim involved with this "Operation" have been a part of <br />my interests for over thirty (j0) years. Previous partners,~associates and myself <br />have kept these claims valid by doing the assessment work required each year for <br />each claim. A few years ago the Operator acgiured sole interest in the claims <br />associated with this application. In the last few years the interest in, and the <br />value of the crystal mineral specimens has increased substantially. <br />
