6 (Form 2- Public) <br />3. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged, stockpiled and redistributed for the re-establishment of <br />vegetation. Specify approximate topsoil redistribution depth: <br />Abundant top soil is available at the 5`ll level portal and work area. The 5t' level dump <br />and working plat form only will be subject to re-establishment of vegetation. A thin layer <br />of the aforementioned top soil material was spread on the 5a' level dump leveling .,out the <br />work area in 1985. This area has naturally reseeded itself. (See photo50 A 3" <br />to 6" topsoil depth will be easily implemented. <br />Topsoils to be used in rehabilitation measures will be taken from the lower part of the talus cone at the 5 <br />portal on the south side of the Santiago Mine Area. ( See page _L I 13 <br />4. Describe how drill holes will be plugged (refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required abandonment procedures): <br />A truck mounted drill will be used and positioned on the lower section of the Santiago 3rd <br />level access road in the lower part of the talus cone at the basin floor (See <br />photos:?*7,Z ?? and the road to the drill site ) Drilling will <br />have a mim disturbances. Drilling in talus will be collared until reaching hard rock <br />and core drill depths are estimated at 400' to 800' for two holes to be drilled using small <br />bit sizes. Drill holes will be plugged with rock fragments filled with a concrete mix and <br />capped. When the cap has set, talus will be used to bring the drill site back to natural <br />grade. All cutting will be absorbed into talus and all core samples will be removed from <br />the site. <br />5. Describe how portals, adits, shafts, ponds, excavations, or other disturbances will be reclaimed (refer to Rule 3 and Rule 5 for <br />specific reclamation performance standards). You may wish to contact the Division for closure specifications. <br />Portal closure will meet all specific reclamation and performance standards of the <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. (See Photos #1 g-rS Page O <br />6. Describe how roads will be reclaimed or returned to their pre-prospecting (or better) condition. <br />All roads are passable for transportation and equipment (See photos of Vidler Tunnel of <br />activities 2007-2008 13 and Road photo to Santiago II and drill site.). <br />Unless sloughing of road banks or wash outs occur, no reclamation should be needed.
