40<2% in the subsurface. Exchangeable cations are dominated by calcium with
negligible sodium.
(ii) Based on field observations and analytical results, there are no problematic soils
at the site and the regeneration of native vegetation on historically disturbed land is
extensive.
(iii) Nitrogen concentrations are just below an acceptable level of 0.07% (700ppm)
and phosphorus concentrations are very low. NRCS recommends the use of nitrogen
as a fertilizer as described in Exhibit H - Reclamation Plan.
(iv) No experiments will be undertaken to determine soil amendment requirements.
6.4.20(18) Wildlife Protection
(a) Mitigation Measures
A formal response is yet to be received from the Colorado Department of Wildlife
(CDOW) regarding mitigation measures. Wildcat Mining Corporation will adhere to all
measures recommended by CDOW.
(b) Measures to Prevent Wildlife Contacting Designated Chemicals
All designated chemicals will be stored in locked facilities that cannot be accessed by
• Wildlife.
6.4.20(19) Disposal of Tailings in Mine Workings
Wildcat Mining Corporation will comply with Rule 3.1.7 of the Reclamation Performance Standards for
the protection of groundwater. Based on data provided within this Environmental Protection Plan, the
following groundwater conceptual model has been developed for the protection of groundwater relative to
the disposal of tailings in underground workings:
• The geology consists of southward-dipping fractured sedimentary rocks cut by a series of east-west
faults;
• Water enters from the surface via the fracture system;
• Based on observations in the underground workings, while water moves through the fracture system,
the fractures and water are not pervasive until reaching the Entrada Sandstone which appear to be the
saturated zone, however, rarely used to support domestic or agricultural uses;
• Faulting has offset the Entrada Sandstone creating a series of distinct saturated layers within the
permit boundary:
¦ South of the fault zone within the permit boundary, the saturated zone appears to be
at approximately 8,300 feet AMSL;
¦ Within the fault zone, the saturated zone appears to be at approximately 8,700 feet
AMSL.
• Additionally, the faulting has separated the Entrada Formation from the aquifers within the La Plata
• alluvium, the Morrision Formation and the Mancos Shale; and
