5 (Form 2- Public) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed <l (acres) <br />H. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />Pad Constriction- Komatsu track-loader (or equivalent) <br />Drilling: Hagby 300 Drill. Max. depth 850 ft. w/BTW diamond drill (60 mm OD/42 mm ID) <br />Access: Light vehicles (pick-up trucks or equivalent) <br />Service: Water truck an or Mobile vehicle maintenance truck <br />1. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />Dozed pad areas will be optimized cut/fill on slope gradient. Surplus material, if any, will be utilized <br />to berm perimeter of pad. The mud pit will be located interior to the pad - excavated material will be <br />stoppage 48-inrh 1)1,qStmr ronstri iction fenrjng will hp placed on steel T-posts aro, ind the perimeter <br />of the mud pit for safety purposes and to discourage wildlife intrusion. <br />J. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />Closest "water feature" would be the head of Blackhawk Gulch, an ephemeral drainage feature located about <br />250 ft. east o the propose activity area. No aqua er encounterment is anticipate however, fracture system <br />groundwater and./or flooded underground workings may be encountered at intawals; Over the boring length. <br />Silt fencing will be installed at downgradient locations of the pad perimeter and certified weed free straw bales <br />or equivalent erosion controls e.g., sediment ogs, etc.) will be installed/deployed as warranted. <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 soils at the proposed exploration area are considered to be a part of the Juget-Rock Outcrop Complex. Native trees are <br />predominantly Lodgepole and Ponderosa pine, with Douglas fir and Engelmann spruce present at increasing elevations. AGC, when <br />finalizing pa oca ions an orientation, will attempt to minimize tree remova . Downed trees i any will be remove rom e s e an <br />trimmings/slash saved for reclamation purposes (i.e., erosion control, mulching, and/or wildlife habitat). Either Peyton or Aliens Park <br />soils are present near drainage areas (such as Blackhawk Gulch) as colluvium, and range from 0" to as much as 60" in thickness <br />overlying the Boulder Creek granite, Sparse grasses are present on the south facing slope - primarily slender wheatgrass mountain <br />muhly, Perry oatgrass, Thurber fescue, and scattered locations of kinnickinnick, all of which are typically encumbered with <br />@cGumul2fians of pane duff AGC will Galled rapreseAtative photographs of (pre-prograrn) intaGtvagatative status priorto QxcavatiAg <br />drill pads and obtain equivalently positioned post-program photographs. These photos will be provided to DRMS as supplemental <br />ii ifon i iativi i to ti is Pie', anft. incorporated ii ito the final . emia ... ation report and bu, id mlease i equest to be mbmitted upoi i <br />completion of exploration activities.
