TOTAL 43,200 0.996 0.883 1.899 <br />5b. Specifically address: <br />5b-1) Location and acreage of areas where topsoil will be salvaged and stored; <br />Topsoil at each drill pad if the area has not been previously disturbed will be stored on the upslope <br />side of the drill pad when safe and practicable to do so to minimize risk of erosion. <br />5b-2) How much earth moving will be needed for new roads or drill sites, if any; <br />If stripping or leveling a drill site area is required for safe location of a drill pad, topsoil and <br />overburden will be removed as required and saved separately, nearby in low mounds. It will be <br />returned as soon as practicable. Topsoil and overburden will be stored on the upslope side of the drill <br />pad when safe and practicable to do so to minimize risk of erosion. Ditches will be constructed on <br />the upslope side of the drill pad, and a sump should be built on the downslope side of the pad. <br />Surface drainage structures (e.g., interceptor ditches) will be constructed to intercept and divert <br />runoff, preventing erosion of the drill pad and sump. <br />Limited earth moving will be necessary for new roads or drill sites. Typical pad area will be 3600 sf. <br />5b-3) What seed mix (type and amount) will be used for revegetation; <br />Reseeding will be with the appropriate seed mix for the upland, rangeland or riparian area. <br />Table 2.
