5 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 1.00 (acres) <br />K. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: 2 Phases of Activity proposed: <br />L. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />Most of the waste rock created will be accommodated underground. However, a new tunnel to access a <br />vein structure will be created roug the host-rock. is roc is theorized to be inert an use u or the <br />purposes of amending a hill slope adjacent to the portal. Therefore, approximately 2,000 yd3 of this <br />material will be placed on the surface. No waste rock with ore character or ore will be stored on the <br />surface. Samples to be transported off-site using personal vehicles. Refer to Attachment A for Figures. <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 portal discharge. Discharge has been characterized <br />(iefei to Attachment A) and will be controlled by renewal of the CDPS permit and leliance upon <br />the existing sedimentation pond Which W0111d capture any rele ased suspended solids. <br />IV. OPERATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES: <br />1. 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 site ie already disturbed ae a recent of hietorir mine grtoy*tV Minimal new s lrfa .e <br />disturbance will occur besides placement of mined host-rock to amend the hill-slope <br />adjacent to the portal and day-to-day disturbance created by vehicle parking and staging of <br />equipment. Site is adjacent to su a pine ecosystems an historic mine features in the <br />same basin (Ruby TFUSt and The LibeFty).
