discuss site-specific concerns. Proper Road Use and Special Use permits will be obtained prior to <br />use of USFS roads. <br />State, USFS, and BLM regulatory personnel will be notified at least 48 hours before any <br />construction or drilling equipment is mobilized into the project areas. An authorized <br />representative of the applicant will supervise all construction and drilling activities. A copy of the <br />exploration permit and all pertinent permit documents will be available from the company <br />representative for inspection. Any proposed changes in the Exploration Plan after permit <br />approval will be reviewed with the appropriate regulatory agencies before changes take effect. <br />Camp sites and/or staging areas to be used by the drilling contractor will be reviewed with and <br />approved by the USFS District Ranger or authorized representative prior to use. These sites will <br />be used in a mamler to minimize damage ro the vegetation. Any surface disturbance to these sites <br />will be re-graded and seeded to promote rehabilitation. <br />Road Construction <br />Existing roads and trails will be used whenever possible, and movement of equipment across <br />undisturbed land will be kept to a minimum. New or additional roads will be constructed only <br />when necessary and only as the drilling program progresses. A maximum of 14 ft. road width <br />will be employed during this project except in locations such as curves, where more width would <br />be needed for the drill rig to negotiate a turn. <br />The drill sites have been located such that the slope of the access roads is nearly flat lying and <br />subject to vary only a few percent. All topsoil removed during pad construction will be <br />stockpiled and redistributed when the pads are reclaimed. Erosion control structures, such as <br />water bars, will be installed as required and will be done in accordance with applicable <br />regulations and stipulations. Waterbars will be left in-place to assist in future erosion control. If <br />utilized, culverts will be removed at the completion of the project or as accepted by the USFS <br />Road Engineer. <br />Drill Site Construction <br />Drill sites will be approximately 100' x 200' in size. Smaller dimensions will be utilized <br />whenever possible. Drill site sizes and layout will be reviewed with the USFS representative <br />prior to construction. <br />Brush and/or small trees will be cleaned from the drill pads using a D-6 size bulldozer. Topsoil <br />will be removed and stockpiled on the upslope side of the drill pad and remain undisturbed <br />during drilling at the site. The topsoil pile will not be seeded due to the short duration of storage. <br />Approximately one foot of soil thickness will be salvaged and stockpiled at the disturbance site <br />with a "TOPSOIL" sign clearly marking the pile. Leveling of the drill sites (cut and fill) by <br />grading the subsoil and/or weathered rock is not anticipated. <br />Slurry (mud) pit construction will be made on the downslope portion of the topsoil stripped drill <br />pad. Using either a D-6 dozer or backhoe, from one to two pits will be excavated at each site, <br />depending upon depth of drill hole and projected water requirements. The mud pit(s) will be <br />7 <br />
