6 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />8. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged, stockpiled and redistributed for the re- establishment of <br />vegetation. Specify approximate topsoil redistribution depth: <br />Topsoil depth is estimated to range from zero to 12 inches locally. Where present, topsoil <br />will be salvaged and stockpiled adjacent to drill pads and roads. Once drill pads and roads <br />are recontoured and scanted, the salvaged topsoil will be redistributed over the final <br />availahle fnr rfariiktrihution as a growing medium <br />9. Describe how drill holes will be plugged (refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required abandonment procedures): <br />Drill holes will be abandoned in their entirety upon completion of each drill hole. All drill holes <br />will be completely filled with abandonite, and or, bentonite, cement grout or concrete to <br />- . - • • - <br />. • - - I • .

The abandonitc, <br />and or. bentonite, grout or concrete will be placed "bottom -up" in each drill hole. A 10 to 20 <br />foot cement plug will cap each drill hole. The plug will ensure that any settlement of the <br />abandonite, bentonite, grout or concrete in the hole will not affect the long -term effectiveness <br />• . - .

Describe how portals, adits, shafts, ponds, excavations, or other disturbances will be reclaimed (refer to Rule 3 and Rule 5 for <br />specific reclamation performance standards). You may wish to contact the Division for closure specifications. <br />Not Applicable <br />11. Describe how roads will be reclaimed or returned to their pre - prospecting (or better) condition: <br />Gates will be left in place or installed at the entrance to the temporary, low- standard <br />access roads to close them to motorized travel at the conclusion of the exploration <br />program. Disturbed areas (roads and drill pads) will be returned back to the contour and <br />topography present prior to the proposed disturbance. Compacted areas will be loosened <br />reseeded. Reclamation will include the installation of water bars where necessary to <br />prevent degradation of the reclaimed area. <br />
