application contains SEDCAD analyses for the typical drill sites of the following sizes: 0.25, <br />0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 acres. These SEDCAD analyses demonstrate that the alternative sediment <br />control measures will meet the requirements of DRMS Rules 4.05.2(3) and 4.05.5. Tab PR- <br />14 of Volume 11 of the permit application also contains slope stability analysis for the <br />drillpad mudpits that demonstrates the mudpits will meet the minimum 1.3 safety factor <br />requirement of DRMS Rule 4.05.9(8)(b). <br />4. Stored topsoil will be distributed as evenly as possible over the disturbed pad area. <br />5. The entire drill pad area will be re-seeded using the following seed mix, which has been <br />approved by the USFS for drill sites in this area. <br />PAONIA RANGER DISTRICT SEED MIX <br />Habitat Type Grass Species Mix Seeds/lb.

After seeding, the cleared brush will be redistributed over the drill pad area to act as natural <br />mulch. This method has proven successful for the revegetation of previous drill sites. <br />6. Newly created access roads will be restored as closely as possible to the original contour and <br />re-seeded as above. Drill pads and access roads will be reclaimed shortly after the <br />completion of the drill hole. <br />7. If constructed, waterbars on new road construction will be left in-place for future erosion <br />control. All culverts will be removed during the reclamation of the access routes. <br />. 8. The drill pad and access roads reclamation procedure outlined above will apply only to those <br />areas newly disturbed for this proposed exploration. Existing roads and trails will be left <br />11 <br />
