5 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 0.172 (acres) <br />K. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />See Attachment C: List of equipment <br />L. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />No structures to be constructed other than mud pits as described above. <br />M. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />The nearest perennial stream is located 640ft to 760ft in elevation below the sites, and the most direct drainage pathways from the sites range from 4,950ft to <br />5 450ft resulting in an average shoe of aooroximately 13 %. The nearest intermittent drainage develops at/below 2.000ft to the east. This intermittent <br />drainage is located 120ft to 440ft in elevation below the sites and the most direct drainage pathways from the sites range from 830ft to 1,900ft, which results <br />in an average slope of 14% and 23 %. There are no known or registered water wells within several miles of the drilling locations. Also there are no <br />documented groundwater resources in the vicinity of the drilling locations. Due to the complexity of the underlying sedimentary strata and igneous formations, <br />it is not known at this time if groundwater will be encountered while drilling. If encountered, Compass will notify DRMS as soon as practicable, and upon <br />abandonment the dnll holes vwll be plugged bU teet below and bU teet above any water beanng horizons with cement or sooium bentonite pellets <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 />Both sites are located on barren reads that pass through a recent dear -rut in what appears <br />to have been composed of dense aspen stands. Evergreen trees that occur in the <br />immediate vicinity of the sites are Blue Spruce, Douglas Fir, and Lodgepole Pine; none of <br />which will be disturbed by the prospecting activitres. Ground vegetation consists of a <br />variety of high altitude grasses, forbs, and shrubs. Photos of the vegetation at the -drill sitcs <br />are included in in the confidential fRMB FORM 1 submittal (Attachment F) <br />
