7. No drilling additives will be used in downhole injection water without WWL approval. <br />8. Drilling equipment shall arrive on site in clean, power- washed condition; to mitigate <br />invasive weeds, please make sure all soils and vegetation materials are removed from the <br />undercarriage. <br />9. Any leaks of rig or other equipment fluids will be immediately repaired and all fluids <br />contained. <br />10. Removal of contaminated soils by fluids from rig and other equipment shall be the <br />responsibility of the equipment operator. <br />11. Any discharged downhole drilling fluids shall be contained in a drainage channel and/or <br />cuttings/fluid pit. Any excavations shall be buried to natural grade upon completion of <br />drilling operations. <br />12. All downhole well materials will be installed using tremie pipe. <br />13. All well materials shall arrive on site boxed and in their original factory -clean condition. <br />14. Please practice good housekeeping at the site and contain and removal all generated trash. <br />15. Also note, we will install the well completion immediately after the hole target depth is <br />penetrated and the hole circulated. So, all well materials need to be ready to go downhole <br />BEFORE we make TD. <br />Permitting <br />These wells were permitted through the Office of the State Engineer, Colorado Division of <br />Water Resources (CO DWR) in April 2012. DA Smith is a Colorado licensed well driller and <br />will be responsible for compliance with Colorado Division of Water Resources conditions of <br />well permit approval (Attachments 1 and 2). This includes completion of Well Construction and <br />Test Reports (Form GWS -31) and submittal to CO DWR, BLM, DRMS and Energy Fuels. <br />This well program was also approved by the BLM in April, 2012: Decision Record and <br />Categorical Exclusion Review for a minor plan modification to the Topaz Mine (COC- 52049). <br />As required, the limits of the road and pad were staked using the coordinates provided in Table <br />1. Jamie Blair, the BLM geologist, determined that no site walkthrough is necessary prior to <br />drilling. A cultural resources survey was performed. Ground disturbance will be contained <br />within the Class III Cultural Inventory Area shown on Figures 2 and 4. Because drilling will <br />take place between April and August, nest searches for migratory birds and raptors are being <br />conducted within' /4 mile from the well heads and along the access roads prior to any ground <br />disturbance. The survey areas are shown on Figure 5. The nest search will be completed after <br />staking and prior to drilling. If any nests are found, a second survey will be completed as <br />discussed with Jamie Blair on 4/25/2013. Once the results of those surveys have been compiled, <br />a path forward will be discussed prior to drilling. <br />TOPAZ MINE DRA SHALLOW MONITORING WELL: MW -TPZ1 <br />A shallow groundwater monitoring well will be drilled and installed at the toe of the Topaz Mine <br />DRA in Section 10, Township 44N Range 18W. The target interval depth for the shallow <br />monitoring well is approximately 10 to 25 feet. The well should be screened to intersect the <br />interface of the bedrock and overlying material. Construction details for the monitoring well, <br />including planned screened intervals, materials of construction, and approximate depths are <br />shown in Figure 1.
