equivalent air-water combination drill mounted on a tandem axle truck, drill-pipe trailer or truck, auxiliary air compressors and tools, a water truck and supporting pickup truck. The chosen access routes coupled with proposed reclamation will minimize soil erosion. During the time proposed for drilling, there should be little or no surface water in the area. Mud pits will be dug at each location to receive water that may be produced from each hole. The drill hole plugging procedure will prevent pollution of any ground water intercepted. Damage to air quality, wildlife and wildlife habitat are unlikely due to the proposed limited access and short term namre of the exploration program. Hazards to public health and safety are essentially non- existent due to the nature of the equipment and the remote location. Blue Mountain Energy, Inc. will designate a representative that will be assigned to the drilling unit and will be on site during all field operations. Access to the drill sites will be primarily from a existing roads and two short new overland trails. Approximately 700' of new trail would be needed (see attached map). Vegetation will be cleared from the route to minimize the threat of fires. The drill hole locations will be prepared by removing vegetation and topsoil from the drilling site. Each drill pad will be about 50' by 100' in size. Mud pits to contain drilling fluids will be constructed adjacent to the drill pad. Holes will be drilled with 5%z" inch diameter bits using air with mist injection and/or water and drilling mud as dictated by hole conditions. Cutting samples will be obtained and described. Drilling depths will range from a projected 515 to 630 feet. Total depth of each hole will be to below the targeted `B' seam. Detailed down hole geophysical logs will be obtained at each hole. All drill holes will be grout-cemented through coal-bearing strata, with cement extending 50 feet above and below the mineable coal bed. The remainder of the hole will be backfilled with cuttings and mud to ten (10) feet below the surface. The hole will then be grout-cemented to the original ground surface. A 2 to 3 foot length of tubing will be cemented into the Cop of each hole extending less than 8" above the surface and will serve as the hole monument. Aluminum caps marked with the hole identification number will be cemented into the top of the hole monument. Reclamation of disturbed areas will be initiated and completed shortly following site abandonment except as discussed in Item #2. Drill hole sites will be recontoured and seeded. Seed rates of pounds per live seed per acre for drilling are shown in the attached table. Broadcast seed rates would be double the drill seed rates. Access routes that did not previously exist will be scarified and seeded. Item #5 b. 1) Both drill sites will be approximately 50' X 100', or 0.115 acres each plus mud pit for a total of 0.24 acres. Topsoil will be salvaged from the drill sites and mud pit locations and stored immediately adjacent to the site. No topsoil salvage will occur along the access route.
