• <br />DILL PIT <br />Exhibit B <br />L' <br />The proposed mining will start at the northern portion of the proposed mining area <br />where the operator will excavate to depth of 10'. This area will be in the lowest elevation <br />portion of the existing dry creek. Once the 10' depth is reached, the operator will use a <br />simple hand operated posthole digger to sample depths. This method will be used until <br />the ground water depth is reached. With the groundwater depth established a survey level <br />will be used to establish the groundwater elevation from the permanent BLM marker <br />north of the area in the south Right of Way fence of Highway 24. The BLM marker will <br />be used as the benchmark for the pit. The posthole excavations will be backfilled and <br />compacted. Using the permanent BLM marker as a benchmark, the minimum 2' of <br />material above the established groundwater elevation will be maintained as the mining <br />operation proceeds to the south. Periodically, the hand operated posthole digger will be <br />used to verify the groundwater depth, and the bottom of the pit excavation will be <br />modified as needed to maintain the minimum 2' of material above the groundwater. <br />d) A wildlife statement is not required. However it is unlikely that any wildlife <br />species will be impacted negatively. <br />n <br />U
