17. Plant Growth Medium (Soils) <br />The soil types and boundaries for the area are shown on Map I-1 and described in detail in <br />Appendix D. Within the permit area, much of the ground has abundant bedrock outcrop and <br />minimal soil which is classified as Gladel-Bond-Rock outcrop. The BLM approved seed mix is <br />suitable for this soil and reclamation should not be problematic. <br />18. Wildlife Protection <br />The unlined water detention ponds at the Last Chance Mine area rarely contain any water. The <br />ponds surface capacities are less than 0.01 acre each and mining activity is expected to deter <br />wildlife from using the water on a frequent basis. Approved fences will be constructed around <br />the ponds and the slopes will be at least 2:1, H:V. <br />19. Disposal of Ore Pad Material and Sludge in Mine Workings <br />The ore pad area will be over excavated and either hauled to an approved disposal site, or placed <br />in the abandoned Last Chance Mine which would then be sealed and fully reclaimed. No sludge <br />will be generated by this mining and drilling operation. <br />Last Chance Mine - April 2009 T-7
