VIII. <br />IX <br />Reclamation Program <br />Reclamation of drill sites/roads will occur as soon as possible after completion of the <br />drilling and evaluation activities on each site. The onset of winter weather may dictate that <br />final reclamation activities may not be fully completed until early summer of the following <br />year. Any drill pads and associated access roads associated with any hole that may become <br />a monitoring well site may be only partially reclaimed to protect the hydrologic balance <br />but be left in a condition that will allow periodic well monitoring. <br />Reclamation activities will include plugging drill holes as mentioned in the previous <br />section, regrading any cut and fill associated with road or drill location construction to <br />approximate original contour, spreading topsoil, scarifying 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 per acre <br />12 pounds per acre <br />Colowyo has not calculated the bond and respectfully requests that the Division calculate <br />the required bond for Colowyo. Upon review and consensus between Colowyo and the <br />Division on the calculated bond amount, Colowyo will obtain a Performance Bond or other <br />acceptable security as per Rule 3.05. <br />The following information is presented to aid the Division in calculating the bond. <br />The proposed exploration program will require construction of 84 (eighty-four) drill <br />locations (see listing below) that will require site reclamation. A disturbance of about <br />0.115 acres per site (50' x100') is anticipated per location. Therefore: <br />Total Drill Location Disturbance: 84 sites x 0.115 ac/site = 9.7 acres <br />Access road construction will be required for thirty-six (36) drill locations (see listing <br />below). These locations will require only a minhnal amount of brushing to construct the <br />roads with no or minimal topsoil removal. <br />A new road is planned on the west side of the disturbed area of Section 16 to allow total <br />access for the drilling of the WP holes, as shown on the enclosed map. This road will be <br />constructed on the previously stripped western limit of the Section 16 pit and its length is <br />N:\CCC_ENGUUAN\DMG\NOI DOC\OSNOI\OSNOI Text.doc <br />t/26/OS <br />11 <br />
