October Ore Pile Reclamation Rule 8: ERP <br />110(d) Limited Impact Permit Application <br />Nuvemco LLC October Ore Pile Reclamation <br />6.4.20 (6) Designated Chemical(s) and Material(s) Handling <br />NA, no chemicals used within the permit area. The low grade ore will be <br />transported in accordance with best management practices to a mill near Blanding, Utah <br />for all crushing, milling and chemical extractions. <br />6.4.20 (7) Facilities Evaluation <br />6.4.20 (7) (a) The only facilities in the permit area are existing mine roads, connecting to <br />maintained county roads and state highways. Mining roads are in good condition and <br />will be repaired or improved if necessary for safe truck traffic. These roads are suitable <br />for removing the ore in order to reclaim the site. <br />6.4.20 (7) (b) NA. No chemicals will be used on site. <br />6.4.20 (7) (c) This reclamation operation will not alter any naturally occurring conditions <br />but will in fact restore the natural vegetation and gradient at the site. <br />6.4.20 (7) (d) No monitoring will be required for this reclamation operation. <br />6.4.20 (7) (e) Ore transport will be in accordance with best management practices and <br />US DOT regulations. In the event of an accident or load spillage, BMPs will be used to <br />clean up spilled materials, including any hydrocarbon (gas and oil from truck) releases. <br />6.4.20 (7) (f) The ore pile is currently exposed, stabilized, and has been in place for <br />about 25 years. The face of the ore pile will be freshly exposed during daily loading <br />operations. The drainage ditch adjacent to the existing mining road will prevent any <br />uphill run-on of precipitation to the site. At the end of each day of loading, the loader <br />operator will construct a berm from the underlying onsite soil and rock to protect the <br />exposed face and edge preventing any precipitation from washing freshly exposed ore <br />from the site. <br />6.4.20 (8) Groundwater Information <br />6.4.20 (8) (a) Exhibit T. Map 1. Two Mile Area of Concern, shows all tributary water <br />courses, wells, springs, and stock water ponds on the affected land and on adjacent <br />lands within two miles of the October Ore Pile. There are only one registered well, two <br />springs, and two stock water ponds within the two-mile radius. No reservoirs or ditches <br />have been identified within this area. <br />The registered well (October Mine Well) is located in the NW'/o, NW'/4, Section 9, T50N, <br />R1 9W approximately 3/ mile southwest of the October Ore Pile. The bottom of the well <br />is located approximately 100 feet higher than the ore pile. Therefore, it is highly unlikely <br />that the ore pile could have any affect on the quality of the well water. <br />49
