Water will be purchased from unspecified municipal sources. Once water <br />rights are perfected, the use of its available water rights will not affect other users. <br />Dust and air pollution — Given the size and duration of the proposed surface exploration <br />operations, an air permit is not required. Gold Hill Minerals, Inc. has made the following <br />commitment in or Notice of Intent to the DRMS as to fugitive dust, "Even though an Air <br />Emission Permit is not required, Gold Hill Minerals will take appropriate measures to <br />control fugitive dust. Such measures include occasional road watering as required. The <br />drilling operation will use water to lubricate the drill bit. No fugitive dust should occur <br />from drilling activity." All vehicles used on site will meet emission standards applicable <br />to the vehicle. No chemical fumes, other than fumes from gasoline and diesel fuels will <br />occur. No other low vapor pressure chemicals will be used at the site. <br />➢ Site erosion — This is a short duration surface exploration operation. The <br />Notice of Intent, Section 3.1.3(2) in part states, "As part of our POO submitted to the <br />USFS, we have committed to follow the measures as described in the `U.S. Forest <br />Service Handbook, Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) Denver, Colorado — FSH <br />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. <br />➢ Impacts to wildlife — Wildlife impacts are important to Gold Hill Minerals, <br />Inc. Section 3.1.8 Wildlife, addresses wildlife isues. In addition, as part of the Plan Of <br />Operations filed with the USFS, we have requested the USFS allow Gold Hill Minerals, <br />Inc. to hire a third party consultant to evaluate for the presence of threatened and <br />endangered (T &E) plant and animal species on USFS property (phase two). <br />There are no topsoil or significant amounts of perennial vegetation present (gravely bare <br />ground) at the proposed phase one locations. Therefore, threatened and endangered <br />plant and animal species are not a concern. Regardless, Gold Hill Minerals will be <br />aware of wildlife use of the area and take precautions as necessary to protect important <br />wildlife species. <br />• Robert Schaller: <br />➢ Despoiled landscape — This is a short duration surface exploration <br />operation.
