5 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 2.44 (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 <br />construction. A Caterpillar 315 Excavator (or equivalent) will be used for dill sump <br />_crawler, skid, or trailer mn Maxi -10 or Atlas Copco CS -14 (or equivalent) core drill <br />Drill will be transported by trailer to the nearest low standard road to the drill site. Skid or <br />trailer mounted drill will be pulled to the drill site 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 the 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 location is 1020 feet away from West Willow Creek. To ensure protection of surface water, all holes <br />.. <br />.. .. . • <br />practical to below surface water elevation. Casing will be sealed with cement or bentonite to contain drill <br />fluids and prevent drill fluids from entering the alluvium. Drill sumps will be lined. Drilling may penetrate <br />local occurrences of fracture controlled ground water but no artesian flow 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 exploration area is located in sub - alpine and alpine habitat, with rock outcrop and <br />rubble; Frisco - Agneston and Bross, Moist - Mirror Soils. Vegetation includes Mtn Grassland: <br />Thurber Fescue, Conifer Forest: Spruce /Fir and Herbaceous Riparian: Sedge. <br />
