I. Upon completion of drilling activities at a given site, all debris, trash, and drilling related <br />equipment will be removed from the site. <br />2. When the mud pit is sufficiently dry, it will be filled with stored subsoil material and <br />compacted to minimize any settling. All remaining subsoil will be redistributed on and <br />azound the drill pad with a backhoe and/or bulldozer to achieve as closely as possible, the <br />original contour of the site. <br />3. Stored topsoil will be distributed as evenly as possible over the disturbed pad azea. <br />4. The entire drill pad azea will be re-seeded using the following seed mix described in Table <br />N, which has been approved by the BLM for drill sites in this area. <br />Table IV <br />BLM Stipulated Seed Mix <br />Grass Species Mix Lbs./Acre <br />Amba Western Wheatgrass 2.Slbs/A <br />Sodaz Streambank Wheatgrass 1.81bs/A <br />Nordan Crested Wheatgrass 1.SIbs/A <br />Paloma Indian or Nezpaz Ricegrass 2.Olbs/A <br />Sherman Big bluegrass O.Slbs/A <br />Lodorm Green needlegrass O.Slbs/A <br />Delmaz Small burnet 1.SIbs/A <br />Rincon or Native Fourwing Saltbush 2.Olbs/A <br />Total 18.Slbs/A <br />This seed will be 99 percent pure live seed (PLS) and hand broadcast at a rate of 18.5 pounds per <br />acre. <br />5. After seeding, the cleazed brush will be redistributed over the drill pad area to act as natural <br />mulch. This method has proven successful for the revegetation of previous drill sites. <br />6. Newly created access roads will be restored as closely as possible to the original contour and <br />re-seeded as above. Drill pads and access roads will be reclaimed shortly after the <br />completion of the drill hole. <br />7. If constructed, waterbazs on new road construction will be left in-place for future erosion <br />control. All culverts will be removed during the reclamation of the access routes. <br />8. The drill pad and access roads reclamation procedure outlined above will apply only to those <br />areas newly disturbed for this proposed exploration. Existing roads and trails will be left <br />undisturbed and in a condition equal to or better than that observed up Ark Land Company's <br />entry into the area. Existing trails will be scarified during reclamation activities to <br />compensate for compaction and to promote seed germination. <br />9. After reclamation, newly constructed access roads to certain drill sites may be blocked and <br />closed to vehicle entry at the USFS or surface owner request. Alternate road closure methods <br />may be employed where practical after review with the USFS representative. <br />13 <br />
