URAVAN-BECK PROJECT DRILL SITE P-5 Page 2 of 7 <br />NOTICE OF INTENT TO COMMENCE PROSPECTING <br />APPENDICES To NOI APPLICATION <br />Section 111.7. D. <br />Twenty drill holes will be situated in 3- to 7-hole fence patterns of close-order (15-25 ft. <br />separation). The sub-parallel fences may be as close as 50 ft. apart, depending on old drill <br />patterns, roads, and topography. All drilling disturbance will be located within the 4.5 acre <br />drill site. <br />Topsoil stockpiles will be constructed along the side of each drill fence for use in <br />reclamation. <br />One access trail, approximately 850 ft. long x 15 ft. wide, will follow an old fire break road. <br />Only minimal improvements will be made, where required, to access the drill site. <br />Section 111.7. H. <br />Equipment for Drilling: <br />• Three pick-ups: one for Yellowcake logger, one for geophysical logger, one for <br />driller. <br />• Drill rig. <br />• Plastic water tank will be mounted on one truck (used for mixing bentonite or neat <br />cement for hole plugging and abandonment, and for fire safety). Water will be <br />purchased locally. <br />• Fuel will be carried in approved containers on second pickup. <br />• One truck-mounted drilling rig, 1,000 to 1,500-ft. depth capability, air-rotary and <br />hammer-type drills on board. <br />• One wheeled backhoe with blade and bucket. <br />• One ATV with trailer for reclamation seeding work. <br />• One low-boy trailer to haul the backhoe and ATV close to the site. The trailer will be <br />parked on the Geyser Pass road at the edge of the drill area to minimize site <br />impacts. <br />Section 111.7.1. <br />Soil will be stripped to a 6 in. depth from a 20 ft. diameter area around each drill hole. Total <br />volume of topsoil stored per drill hole will be approximately 7.4 CY, with the largest stockpile <br />being approximately 44-52 CYin size. Soil will be stored next to each drill fence. Soil will <br />not be stripped from the access trail except where spot cut and fill occurs. Such soil will be <br />windrowed to the side of the trail. <br />Large vegetation, such as trees and shrubs over 3 ft. high, that must be cut down to allow <br />access prior to topsoil stripping will be stored near the center of the drill area until drilling is
