(FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 1.84 (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 />sedin iei it traps, wate, bars and for reclaniatioi r-DrIlling will be done wit! i crawler, skid or trailer <br />.,tee M tl Cnpn f.C-14 ((or a nt) corn drills All drills will he transnnrt_ Pd by <br />ii ? a??i Fl ? i o ? it n r?ua? <br />trailer to the nearest low-standard road to the drill sites. Skid or trailer mounted drills 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 700 to 2,000 feet from West Willow Creek. To ensure protection of surface waters, <br />a holes will be drilled using only NSF approve drilling fluids and 11 a holes will be case where possible an <br />p , t; l to hplow surface ate ^l^ atmo CnsIng will he sealed with cement or hentanlte to contain drill fluids <br />and prevent drill fluids from entering the alluvium. Drill sumps will be lined. Drilling may penetrate local <br />occurrences o fracture co o e g ou e, but o sea o to the surface is anticipated. <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 ellnlnration area •n In ted On giffi-alpine habitat, with areas of rorkV gmihrrnn material <br />1 I IC" ill nll l i R ? arl it 11 <br />and detritus in the northern part of the project area.
