V <br />5 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 0.50 (acres) <br />K. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />Bulldozer for road repairs and new construction. Rubber -tired rotary/hammer drill rig with <br />compressor for air -lift of cuttings. Water truck for injecting small amounts of water will be <br />used if drill cuttings cannot be lifted by air. Drillers and geologist pickup trucks. Probe truck <br />(four wheel van). Skid steer loader or mini excavator for reclamation. <br />L. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />N/A <br />M. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />Because the holes will be drilled on a sloping mesa top, no surface water is located near these <br />holes. Surface runoff would be towards the Dolores River, which is about one mile away.

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 />Trees are pinon pine and juniper- thin scattered and small clumps. <br />Brush includes: oak, bitter, rabbit, sage, service berry, mahogany, 4 -wing salt; - scattered <br />clumps. <br />Sparse understory of small forbs, yucca, cactus, and grasses. <br />
