Below are items to address the technical review of 15 May 2003 affecting Glacier Peak Mining, Permit Application M-2003-030. 15. 6.3.3 E3G-IIBIT C -MINING PLAN Site and Boundary Mazkings All mining claims in this application aze mazked with standazd claim markers and notices as required by law. Claim boundaries aze mazked with posts set at the four corners and at center sides. These posts aze topped with 4" of red paint, below which is 4" of white paint. Most posts are standazd 4 x 4" posts. Claim notices are centered on the claims on trees or posts. Location papers are stored in waterproof cans at the foot of these trees. Most claims also have two or more notices to give persons on site a description of claim boundaries and notice of their field location. All proposed excavation sites are marked with 18" survey stakes, most with painted red tops. Some aze flagged with fluorescent pink flagging tape. These stakes are set to cover the proposed excavation and any area which will be disturbed by storage of topsoil and equipment footprints. Areas are marked as accurately as possible to include possible mineralized areas. Generally it will not be necessary to excavate the entire block which is staked out, nor is this planned. It is uneconomical to do so. The areas are marked, that in the case mineralized areas are encountered which run generally to one side or other of the center of the proposed excavation site, we will still be able to excavate the planned azea without exceeding the size of excavation indicated in our proposal. Excavations will not extend outside the blocked areas without applying for a modification to this plan. However, because these excavation sites are located within large, previous disturbed areas, we will reclaim azeas larger than the excavation sites in order to reclaim the entire area. This is shown by the crosshatched areas on the accompanying maps in our reclarnation plan. This will be necessary to return all of the affected azea to its original natwal condition. 15. 6.3.4 EJG-IIBIT D -RECLAMATION PLAN 6.3.4(11 (c) Revegetation: (iii) Plant species Rate of application will be 32.5 Ibs of seed per acre. Live seed per acre per species will be as follows: Bromegrass Paiute Orchazdgrass Annual Ryegrass Oahe V/heatgrass Fawn Tall Fescue Other misc. grass Native wildflower 6.41 Ib 5.271b 5.67 Ib 7.021b 2.91 lb .56 Ib .251b 28.1 live pounds per acre total Live seed quantities will vary according to the stock available each season; therefore, we will use the above application rate (32.5 lbs) as a minimum at a 90% live seed quantity.
