2 <br />2. Access road construction and re-opening is limited to 4 new segments totaling no more than 300 ft x <br />20 ft. <br />3. Reclamation should be completed prior to the onset of winter conditions (frozen and/or snow <br />covered soils), and completed no later than June 1, 2010. <br />The following requirements shall continue to apply to your drilling project: <br />BLM Notification. The operator will contact Scott Gerwe at (970) 244-3077 48 hours before <br />surface-disturbing activities are initiated, and 48 hours prior to beginning site reclamation. <br />Bond. No surface-disturbing activities may commence until a performance bond is in place. <br />The required bond for BLM shall cover the cost of plugging and reclamation, as calculated by <br />the DRMS, and accepted by BLM. The adequacy of the bond will be periodically reviewed by <br />DRMS and BLM, and if necessary, the bond amount shall be adjusted to the revised cost <br />estimate. <br />Modifications. Any additional operations beyond that documented in your NOI shall require an <br />amended NOI to be filed with this office. <br />Surface Disturbance. Surface disturbance shall be kept to a minimum and limited to that which <br />is necessary to complete the drilling. For previously disturbed areas, no blading of roads or drill <br />pad construction is allowed, except for clearing of brush or minor upgrading where necessary. <br />Weeds. All equipment shall be clean, and weed and weed-seed free prior to moving the <br />equipment into the mine site. The operator shall monitor for noxious weed infestation and shall <br />control noxious weeds on the mine site as directed by the BLM. Herbicide or pesticide use shall <br />be approved by the BLM prior to any application. <br />Trash. Trash shall be contained at all times and removed to an authorized sanitary landfill. No <br />oil or other petroleum products shall be drained on the ground or vegetation. Burning of trash or <br />waste is not allowed. <br />Muddy Conditions. During wet weather conditions, no mud blading will be allowed. When road <br />conditions are such that vehicles create ruts deeper than 4 inches, drilling and vehicle activities <br />will be temporarily suspended. <br />Road Improvement. Refer to the attached map for road segments authorized for improvement <br />work to accommodate drill rig access. Roadway erosion controls, including waterbars, rolling <br />dips, ditches, and sumps, shall be installed as directed and/or required by the BLM. <br />Mud Pits. Drilling fluid shall be contained in tanks or a small pit. Mud pits must be dry or with <br />little standing water before they are backfilled. If fluids remain in the pit at completion of <br />drilling and the pit cannot be backfilled, the pit must be fenced off to keep all animals out until <br />dry enough to backfill.
