Gold Hill Minerals, Inc. has made <br />the following commitment in or Notice of Intent to the DRMS as to fugitive dust, "Even <br />though an Air Emission Permit is not required, Gold Hill Minerals will take appropriate <br />measures to control fugitive dust. Such measures include occasional road watering as <br />required. The drilling operation will use water to lubricate the drill bit. No fugitive dust <br />should occur from drilling activity." All vehicles used on site will meet emission <br />standards applicable to the vehicle. No chemical fumes, other than fumes from gasoline <br />and diesel fuels will occur. No other low vapor pressure chemicals will be used at the <br />site. <br />➢ Long term environmental impacts — As required by the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Act and the implementing regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board, Gold Hill Minerals, Inc will post a reclamation bond adequate to reclaim the <br />surface exploration drill pads and core holes. In addition, Gold Hill Mineral, Inc will <br />complete site reclamation as committed to in the NOI submitted to the DRMS for <br />approval. A reclamation bond may only be released by the DRMS when an applicant <br />demonstrates to the DRMS it has met the terms and conditions of its approved DRMS <br />permit and the Mined Land Reclamation Board Rules and Regulations relating to site <br />reclamation. <br />• Kathy Peterson (Left Hand Watershed Oversight Group): <br />➢ Proper notice — Gold Hill Minerals, Inc. followed and will continue to <br />follow the public notices procedures as required by the Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />Rules and Regulations. However, Gold Hill Minerals, Inc. will work with the <br />community to ensure there is information sharing as the Project moves forward. <br />➢ Safety of the water supply — This is a short duration surface exploration <br />operation. The Notice of Intent, Section 3.1.3(2) in part states, "As part of our POO <br />submitted to the USFS, we have committed to follow the measures as described in the <br />`U.S. Forest Service Handbook, Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) Denver, Colorado <br />— FSH 2509.25 Watershed Conservation Practices Handbook, Chapter 10 — Management <br />Measures & Design Criteria' for storm water runoff and erosion control." These <br />measures will control off -site water quality impacts during surface exploration drilling <br />operations. Once drill is complete, the drill pads will be reclaimed according to the <br />commitments in Section 3.1.5, 3.1.9, 3.1.10 and Attachment 1, Weed Control Program of <br />the NOI. <br />16 <br />
