• After completion of each of the 166 locations, and after the hole has been properly <br />plugged or monitor well completed, excess cuttings will be dispersed around the drill <br />site, and all debris will be hauled from the location site to an approved public landfill <br />dump. The location will then be revegetated, when necessary, with types of legume and <br />grass so stated in the Exploration and Reclamation Plan. For Reclamation Bond <br />Calculations see Exhibit "E". <br />Measures to be taken to Prevent or Control Fire, Soil, Erosion, Pollution of Surface and <br />Ground Water, Pollution of Air, Damage to Wildlife or Livestock, Damage to other Natural <br />Resources, and Hazards to Public Health and Safety. Each drill will be equipped with the <br />necessary fire fighting equipment, that is, fire extinguishers and shovels. If the area <br />should become excessively dry, and the fire potential becomes too great, the drilling will <br />be postponed until conditions improve. <br /> Soil erosion will be controlled by the following methods: All proposed drill sites will <br /> be located such that none of them will fall within a stream bed or drainage bottom; <br />• traversing steep slopes with the drilling equipment will be prohibited; use of existing <br /> roads and trails will be made to the fullest extent; should the area receive excessive <br /> moisture or if ex cessive thaw should occur, drilling operations will be halted until the <br /> area is adequatel y dry or the ground is again frozen. <br />All exploration sites will be located so that none will be located closer than 100 feet <br />from existing dams, ponds, springs, or water wells. If water and drilling mud are used, <br />water will be obtained from the negotiation with local ranchers. The drilling fluid will <br />be contained at the drill site within a metal sump, and then placed back into the drill <br />hole after completion. All aquifers, regardless of depth, will be sealed from the bottom <br />of the hole to at least 20 feet above the aquifer zone, or to the surface, whichever is <br />appropriate. <br />All trash will be hauled to a public dump so that there will be no burning of trash in the <br />field to contribute to air pollution and fire. The drill rig and motor vehicles in the <br />area will be required to have mufflers to reduce the air and noise pollution. All <br /> equipment shall be removed from the area promptly after completion of all phases of <br />. exploration and reclamation. <br />3 <br />
