The drilling operation will <br />use water to lubricate the drill bit. No fugitive dust should occur from drilling activity." <br />All vehicles used on site will meet emission standards applicable to the vehicle. No <br />chemical fumes, other than fumes from gasoline and diesel fuels will occur. No other <br />low vapor pressure chemicals will be used at the site. <br />Section 3.1.5(5) states, "All refuse due to exploration drilling operations will be removed <br />and disposed of in an approved facility off -site. No acid forming or toxic producing <br />materials are expected. All core hole drill cuttings will be buried in the cuttings pits, <br />backfilled, compacted, the topsoil replaced, then seeded and mulched. For those drill <br />pads within the road right -of -way, only backfilling, grading, and compaction will occur." <br />This is a short duration surface exploration operation. The Notice of Intent, Section <br />3.1.3(2) in part states, "As part of our POO submitted to the USFS, we have committed to <br />follow the measures as described in the `U.S. Forest Service Handbook, Rocky Mountain <br />Region (Region 2) Denver, Colorado — FSH 2509.25 Watershed Conservation Practices <br />Handbook, Chapter 10 — Management Measures & Design Criteria' for storm water <br />runoff and erosion control." These measures will control off -site water quality impacts <br />during surface exploration drilling operations. Once drill is complete, the drill pads will <br />be reclaimed according to the commitments in Section 3.1.5, 3.1.9, 3.1.10 and <br />Attachment I, Weed Control Program of the NOI. <br />➢ Prohibit this mining operation — This is not a mining operation and no <br />decision has been made at this time to design and submit permits for a mining operation. <br />➢ Watershed and ecosystem — Notice of Intent, Section 3.1.3(2) in part states, <br />"As part of our POO submitted to the USFS, we have committed to follow the measures <br />as described in the `U.S. Forest Service Handbook, Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) <br />Denver, Colorado — FSH 2509.25 Watershed Conservation Practices Handbook, Chapter <br />10 — Management Measures & Design Criteria' for storm water runoff and erosion <br />control." <br />A concern about the ecosystem is a very broad subject. A response would entail an <br />almost complete reiteration of what has been submitted to the DRMS in the NOI <br />document. Instead we refer the commenter to the following sections of the NOI <br />Application available at the DRMS website. <br />12 <br />
