5 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 1.35 (acres) <br />K. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />A Caterpillar D-4 or D-6 (or equivalent) will be used for access road and drill pad construction. A <br />mid-size excavator (Caterpillar 315 or equivalent) will be used for construction of drill sumps, <br />trailer to the nearest low-standard road to the drill sites. Skid of trailer mounted drill will be pulled <br />to drill sites with a dozer or log skidder. <br />L. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />No significant structures will be constructed. Sediment control structures (silt fences, <br />wattles) will be placed downslope from each drill pad and water bars. <br />M. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />Drill locations range from 260 to 525 feet from West Willow Creek. To ensure protection of surface <br />waters, a holes will be drilled using only Nbl- approve drilling fluids. All holes will be case where <br />ible and PraGtiGal tO 149101M s, irfane Water Alevation Gasing will be Sea'Ad With cement or hentonite- <br />to contain drill fluids and prevent drill fluids from entering the alluvium. Drill sumps will be lined. Drilling <br />may penetrate local occurrences of fracture controlled ground water, but no artesian flow is anticipated. <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 exploration area is lorated in sub-alpine hahit^t with areas of rnrky suhrrnp material <br />and detritus. Vegetation includes Mtn. Grassland; Thurber Fescue, Upland Shrub; Willows, <br />Conifer Forest; Spruce/Fir, Deciduous Forest; Quaking Aspen. <br />
