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 />An average minimum of six inches of soil will be stripped prior to construction of the pits, <br />drill pads, and newly constructed access roads and stockpiled for future reclamation. The <br />stockpiles will be covered with erosion control material. Once investigations and <br />topsail, <br />munituring at the drill sites aie completed, arid prior to the replacement of GOMpaGted suFfaGeS will be ripped to a depth of 19 ORGhes. ARY Femoved se"! will be <br />spread evenly at a depth of 6 inches <br />4. Describe how drill holes will be plugged (refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required abandonment procedures): <br />Please see attached page 13 for description under Heading IV Operation and Reclamation <br />Measures, subheading 4. <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 />Once investigations and monitoring at the drill sites are completed all pits will be backfilled <br />and closed, and the drill pad recontoured to blend into existing topography. Depressions <br />that collect storm water and allow it to accumulate and pool will be filled to drain. Any <br />minoved suil will be spead evenly over the disturbed areas and will be reseeded with the <br />6. Describe how roads will be reclaimed or returned to their pre-prospecting (or better) condition: <br />Similar procedures as those used on drill pads will be used for roads Once investigations <br />and monitoring are completed, all newly constructed access roads will be blended to <br />existing terrain. Depressions will be graded to drain. Prior to topsoil replacement <br />campacted suffaces will be ripped to a depth of 18 inches. Removed suil will be spread <br />eveRly eveF the disturbed areas aF;d will be reseeded with the seed MiX URder SeGt*GR 7 of <br />this application (or other seed mix approved by the BLM)
