The <br />reclamation of the artesian well will include prevention of a continued discharge to the <br />surface. This is not anticipated since the site it is well away from the high elevation <br />mountains and the ground water elevation appears to be well below the ground surface, <br />based on observations made in the underground mine workings." <br />In addition, Section 3.1.5 Reclamation Measures — Materials Handling, (6) discusses <br />how each drill hole will be reclaimed once core hole operations are complete. The <br />reclamation bond will include sufficient moneys to not only reclaim the drill pads, but <br />the core holes as well. Section 3.1.5(6) states, "Once the surface exploration drill <br />activities are complete and the core holes are no longer needed, they will be backfilled <br />with bentonite mud, with the top ten feet filled to the surface with neat cement." <br />Until the Gold Hill Minerals, Inc. water rights are perfected, no water will be withdrawn <br />from Little James, James, or Left Hand Creeks. Water will be purchased from <br />unspecified municipal sources. Once water rights are perfected, the use of its available <br />water rights will not affect other users. <br />Impacts to air quality — 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 />➢ Soil pollution (generated toxic material ?) —As stated in Section 3.1.5(5) <br />states, "All refuse due to exploration drilling operations will be removed and disposed of <br />in an approved facility off -site. No acid forming or toxic producing materials are <br />expected. All core hole drill cuttings will be buried in the cuttings pits, backfilled, <br />compacted, the topsoil replaced, then seeded and mulched. For those drill pads within <br />the road right -of -way, only backfilling, grading, and compaction will occur." <br />In addition, protection of the topsoil resource is addressed in NOI Section 3.1.9, <br />Topsoiling, which states, "Any exploration drill pad areas which fall outside the access <br />road right -of -way will have the topsoil pushed to the uphill side of the drill pad. It will <br />23 <br />
