5 (Form 2- Public) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 0.13 (acres) <br />H. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />4) Small truck mounted rotary drill rip capable of boring to 1 500 feet <br />2) Rigid -frame water and or rod truck, single or dual rear axles, if needed <br />3) Support vehicle for drilling crew (3/4 ton 4x4 p/u truck or equivalent) <br />I. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />The drill sites will have a nominal 10' x 10'x 3'catchment for cuttings /fluids. An earthen <br />ramp will be incorporated into the pit design to allow for animal egress. <br />J. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />The drainages are ephemeral and flow only during heavy rainstorms or snow melt. The <br />nearest perennial stream is the Dolores River, located about 3,900 feet to the east. While <br />drilling may intersect perched amp or wet zones, the penetration o group water aqua ers <br />is not anticipated. <br />IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES <br />1. The Board suggests that a photographic record of the pre - prospecting and post - prospecting conditions be kept by the <br />prospector. These photos should be taken from the same location and by the same method to clearly show the pre - prospecting <br />condition of the land and the reclamation efforts. Upon completion of reclamation and request for bond or surety release, the <br />Board may consider the photos as evidence of adequate reclamation, and thus, be able to act more quickly on the request for <br />release. <br />2. Provide a description of the native vegetation of the area to be disturbed, including tree, shrub, and grass communities of the <br />area. Color photographs, sufficient to adequately represent the ecology of the site and adequately labeled (including date, <br />orientation and location), may be used in lieu of a written description. Based on the quality of the photographs, the Division <br />may require additional detail. <br />Sagebrush ponderosa pine, scrub oak with scarce pinion pine and - uniper. The area is <br />grazed by range cattle. Please see Appendix A for a narrative of the proposed operational <br />and reclamation procedures. Photos of the proposed drill site are attached as Appendix <br />
