Following are our responses to your comments concerning <br />the referenced NOI application. Our responses are in the same order as in your letter <br />1. The depth figure of 620 feet is a maximum depth. As you deduced the 425 feet was the entire <br />drill programs average depth per hole. Use the 620 feet to calculate the bond. <br />2. Three open holes at 620 feet each would be correct for the bond calculation. <br />3. At the current time and in the foreseeable future, no roads will be cut. While staking hole <br />locations, the routes were also flagged to the holes. These routes provide the most direct and <br />easy access to minimize impact. Some tree limbs will need to be cut and a few downed dead <br />trees moved, however that is the extent of the work needed to access the sites off the roads. <br />4. All brush, limbs and other natural debris cut or otherwise disturbed will be strewn back across <br />the effected drill area to aid in reclamation. (This is already our standard procedure). <br />5. Earthen berms would be our primary method of water control, however, if needed, other <br />means of controlling water ( straw wattles or silt fences etc.) would be employed to contain the <br />flow of water on sloping surfaces in order to prevent any water entering any drainages.
