Voluntary – 43 CFR 3809 Exploration Notice Form
Section 4: Cultural and Paleontological Resources, & Fish, Wildlife, and Plant Habitats
Pursuant to 43 CFR 3809.420.
Cultural and Paleontological Resources:
1. Operators shall not knowingly disturb, alter, injure, or destroy any scientifically important paleontological remains or
any historical or archaeological site, structure, building or object on Federal lands.
2. Operators shall immediately bring to the attention of the authorized officer any cultural and/or paleontological
resources that might be altered or destroyed on Federal lands by his/her operations, and shall leave such discovery
intact until told to proceed by the authorized officer. The authorized officer shall evaluate the discoveries brought to
his/her attention, take action to protect or remove the resource, and allow operations to proceed within 10 working
days after notification to the authorized officer of such discovery.
3. The Federal Government shall have the responsibility and bear the cost of investigations and salvage of cultural and
paleontology values discovered after a Notice has been approved, or where a Notice is not involved.
Fish, Wildlife, and Plant Habitat:
The operator shall take such action as may be needed to prevent adverse impacts to threatened or endangered species,
and their habitat which may be affected by operations.
Section 5: Reclamation Plan
Pursuant to 43 CFR 3809.301(b)(3).
1.
A plan for
reclamation, per 43 CFR 3809.401, to meet the standards in 43 CFR 3809.420 is required with this
application. The disturbance created under this mining plan will dictate the reclamation plan. The cost of
implementing the reclamation plan will dictate the bond amount.
The reclamation plan should include, but is not limited to, a description of the equipment and devices, practices you
propose to use, a timeline for completion, etc.
a. It is suggested that a photographic record of the pre-prospecting and post-prospecting conditions be kept by
the prospector. These photos should be taken from the same location and by the same method to clearly
show the pre-site conditions of the land and the reclamation efforts. Upon completion of reclamation and
request for bond or surety release, the photos may be considered as evidence of adequate reclamation, and
thus, aid the BLM to act more quickly on the request for release.
b. Period of Reclamation:
Beginning: _____________________________
Ending: _____________________________
c. Provide a description of the native vegetation of the area to be disturbed, including tree, shrub, and grass
communities of the area. Color photographs, sufficient to adequately represent the ecology of the site and
adequately labeled (including date, orientation and location), may be used in lieu of a written description.
