Conflicts to critical wildlife uses will be limited by BME's proposed drilling schedule, placement of drill locations and access, and prompt reclamation of disturbed areas. 8.3 Drilling Procedures 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. The drill hole locations will be prepared by removing vegetation and topsoil from the drilling site. Mud pits to contain drilling fluids will be constructed adjacent to the drill pad. Holes will be drilled with 5-1/4 or 5-5/8 inch diameter bits using air with mist injection and/or water and drilling mud as dictated by hole conditions. Cuttings samples will be obtained and described. Drilling depths are projected to range from about 340 feet to about 1700 feet. Coring may be conducted at some of the holes; however, detailed down hole geophysical logs will be obtained at each hole. The estimated depths for each hole are shown in Table 8-1.
