5 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />G. Total project area to be disturbed 1 (acres) <br />K. Describe the equipment to be used for the prospecting operations: <br />1) Small, truck mounted rotary drill rig capable of boring to 1,500 ft <br />2) Rigid -frame water and or rod truck, single or dual rear axles, if needed <br />3)Support vehicle for drilling crew (3/4 ton 4x4 p/u truck or equivalent) <br />L. Describe and locate any structures to be constructed (i.e. stockpiles, ponds, impoundments): <br />Each drill hole will have a nominal 10' x 10' x 3' catchment for cuttings /fluids. An earthen <br />ramp will be incorporated into the pit design to allow animal egress. The dirt removed from <br />the pit will be stockpiled or bermed for use in refilling the hole for reclamation. <br />M. Describe anticipated relationship to surface water and groundwater (proximity to streams, penetration of ground <br />water aquifers): <br />The nearest surrounding drainages are ephemeral and flow intermittently during heavy rains or <br />snow melt. The nearest ephemeral drainage is the top of Sharp Canyon (- 250ft) The nearest <br />ptItIIl st redlll is La S hc C reek 1.92 IIII (10, 100ft) to the N E .

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 />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 />Sagebrush, ponderosa pine, scrub oak, juniper and Scarce pinion pine The area is g'ra7ed <br />by range cattle. Please see Appendix A for a narrative of the proposed operational and <br />reclamation procedures. Photos of the typical vegetation surrounding two drill sites are <br />attached as Appendix C. <br />
