I read this as we are going into Notice level
In order to commence mining activities at its claim sites, Bayport might need to
obtain permits from the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) depending upon the
level of authorization submitted to the BLM. Bayport intends to start a Small Scale
Mining Operations through the filing of a reclamation bond. The costs are
approximately less than $8,000 to complete per bond. The company can file as
many reclamation bonds as it likes. It is important to note, the BLM regulations
establish three levels of authorization, (1) casual use, (2) notice level, and (3) plans
of operations. Casual use involves minor activity with hand tools, no explosives, and
no mechanized earth moving equipment. No permit is required. Notice level
activities involve use of explosives and/or earth moving equipment. The total annual
unreclaimed surface disturbance must not exceed 5 acres per calendar year per
reclamation bond. A plan of operations is required for all other surface disturbance
activities greater than 5 acres. A full environmental assessment and reclamation
bonding will then be required. See the following link to reference the BLM laws
regarding these operations:
