5 (Form 2 - Public) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 4.1 (acres) <br />H. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />Caterpillar D-4 or D-6 (or equivalent) will be used for access road and drill pad construction. Mid- <br />size excavator (John eere 410-C or equiva en will be use or cons ruc ion o drill sumps, <br />sed-ornent traps, water bars, and fo r rear-l-nmat4on. Drilling Ad" he done Wth skmd-mn, nt;id ;andInr <br />trailer-mounted Atlas Copco CS-14 and CS-1000 core drills. Skid-mounted drill will be trailer- <br />mounted for transport to the exploration area, pulled by a log skidder. <br />1. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />No significant structures will be constructed. Sediment control structures (silt fences, wattle, etc.) <br />will be emplaced downslope from each drill pad. <br />J. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />Drill locations range from 200 to 1000 feet from West Willow Creek. To ensure protection of <br />surrace waters, an noses wiii oe curare wi only water ru a uvium an into e roc , w ere e <br />holes will be cased; casing vAll be carnanted t contain drill flunds and prevent drill fluids frarn <br />entering the alluvium. Drill sumps will be lined. Drilling may penetrate local occurrences of <br />fracture-controlled groundwater, but no artesian flow to the surface is anticipated. <br />IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES: <br />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 />The exploration area is located in a sub-alpine habitat, with considerable areas of rocky subcrop <br />material an detritus in the northern portion o the proJec area. vegetation includes ng emann <br />Rocky Mountain juniper.
