6 (FORM 2 - Public filing) <br />8. Describe the estimated topsoil depth and how topsoil will be salvaged, stockpiled and redistributed for the re- establishment of <br />vegetation. Specify approximate topsoil redistribution depth: <br />Topsoil varies from 0.5 feet to 2 feet depending on location on site. Hilltops have less, and <br />valley bottoms have more. Any top soil encountered will be removed and segregated into a <br />soll stockpile at the edge of the disturbed area. Bedrock materials located below, will then be <br />be replaced and any previously stockpiled soils will be used as cover. The area will then be <br />revegetated as soon as practical (less than 5 years), with the preferred time of seeding being <br />in fall or spring to take advantage of seasonal moisture. to establish vegetation. <br />9. Describe how drill holes will be plugged (refer to Rule 5.4 of the Rules for required abandonment procedures): <br />Since no holes are anticipated to encounter groundwater, all drill holes will be securely <br />capped, as approved by the Office per Rule 5.2.4 (5) and a report shall be filed with the <br />office as required under Rule 5. 7 . <br />10. Describe how portals, adits, shafts, ponds, excavations, or other disturbances will be reclaimed (refer to Rule 3 and Rule 5 for <br />specific reclamation performance standards). You may wish to contact the Division for closure specifications. <br />No portals, shafts, ponds, excavations are anticipated. Drill pads that might be <br />constructed on non - previously disturbed land will be returned to approximately the original <br />will i i <br />enponee_� mud pits, if used, will he closed by numpinq the nuttinas and drill fluid into <br />the drill hole, and covering during reclamation of drill pad area. <br />11. Describe how roads will be reclaimed or returned to their pre - prospecting (or better) condition: <br />Existing roads and previous disturbances. are not part of the affected acreage, So IN Oil b e <br />left in approximately their condition previous to exploration. Any roads that might be <br />constructed in newly disturbed areas will be reclaimed, topsoil replaced, and seeded with <br />an appropriate grass mix when no longer needed. <br />
