<br />A natural disturbance occurred during July 2006. The internuttent stream bordering the west edge <br />of the properties experienced flash-flooding. Huge quantities of sediment filled the old channel, <br />expanding outwazds about 40 yazds across and covering F.S. Road 211. Flash flooding occurred for <br />over a quarter mile up the channel. Silt and debris covered to within a foot of the tops of the fence <br />line bordering the road. This flash flooding did not enter the disturbance area under this permit. <br />Reclamation Accomplished to Date: <br />The azea in which the pipe was laid has been reclaimed. No other reclamation is apparent. <br />The topsoil storage pile and approximately one acre of relatively barren ground was reseeded during <br />fall, 2006. <br />Preceding Yeaz, 2005, Reclamation: <br />None significant. <br />Proposed 2007 Onerations: <br />Operations using either a Cat E110B or a John Deere 200 track hoe will be scheduled for late April <br />or late September depending on equipment availability and USFS approval. <br />Proposed operations will be to return the site to a simple open-pit operation. The upper pit will be <br />expanded slightly. Gravel will be dug and screened to remove larger rocks. A temporary grizzly <br />will be set up at the present screening site to accomplish this. The smaller gravel will then be <br />removed off site to process for topaz. The screened gravel, including the larger rocks will be <br />returned to the excavation pits. No piles of waste mck will be left by season close. Pits will be <br />partially or completely closed at the end of each season. Topsoil will remain stored in a pile un61 <br />final reclamation of the present excavation sites takes place. <br />We will be dismantling the gray water system, pipes, some fencing, and removing some of the <br />debris from the site. All this will be taken offsite to a landfill. <br />Site visits, including mineral extraction, reclamation, and claim maintenance will be continued <br />throughout the season. <br />Anticipated 2007 Disturbances: <br />Less than an additiona10.15 acres will be disturbed at Site B. An additional 0.15 acres will be <br />disturbed at Site C to cover and temporarily reclaim areas being high graded. <br />Proposed 2007 Reclamation: <br />Approximately 0.05 acres at Site A may be reclaimed. <br />Other small pits where high graders have been active will be buried. <br />Reseeding will be done on any reclaimed areas. <br />
