(FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 0.00 (acres) <br />K. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: 2 Phases of Activity proposed: <br />2 Phases of activity is proposed: Phase 1: underground bulk sampling using a rubber tired <br />backhoe or loader to transfer sample to haul trucks (passenger sized trucks). Phase 2: <br />Either reclamation or mining pending outcome o sampling results. <br />L. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />Any waste rock created will be accommodated underground. No surface disturbance will <br />occur. Samples to be transported off-site using personal vehicles. <br />M. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />Site occurs in high altitude headwaters and is adjacent to Sneffels Creek. Existing workings <br />have tapped into groundwater and yield a small, seasonal portal discharge. Discharge has <br />been characterized (refer to Attachment A) and will not be affected by activity since sampling- <br />0 s isolated in a small pertion of the miRe that is not predl;lGing the water. <br />IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES: <br />I. 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 ;;tp- is already dirt irhed as a race ilt of host nrir mina activity No new surface <br />disturbance will occur. Site is adjacent to subalpine ecosystems and historic mine features <br />in the same basin (RevenueNirginius and Humbolt mines).
