To inhibit erosion and to add organic matter to the soil, chipped tree slash and underbrush will be stockpiled and spread over the restored areas. (FEIS Section 2.4.1, page 2-35 and 2-36) [1,2,5.6,9,lOJ Access roads along the pipelines and to tunnel portals will be constructed to planned grades and will be graded and drained to inhibit erosion. No roads will be constructed in the Holy Cross Wilderness. (FEIS, Section 2.4.1, page 2-36) [1,2,5,6,9,10J Excess tunnel muck not needed for mitigation of Phase I of the Homestake Project will be deposited in approved disposal areas outside the Wilderness, compacted and shaped to designed natural contours, and then covered with a minimum of six inches of top- soil material from excavated areas. The surfaced area will then be fertilized and revegetated as described in Construction Stip- u1ation,8.b. (FEIS Section 2.4.1, page 2-36) [1.2,5.6,9,lOJ In right-of-way surveys and construction (Stipulation 5), the Grantee will selectively remove trees designated by the Forest Service to avoid having a straight line appearance. (FEIS Section 2.4.1, page 2-37) [1,2,5.6,9,lOJ The Grantee will cover all diversion structures except for access hatches, the spillway, and the main water entrance with earth or native material. Native materials will be used for riprap embank- ments. All new pipelines will be buried, unless Forest Service approves otherwi se, for safety or envi ronmenta 1 reasons. (FEIS Section 2.4.1, page 2-35) All exposed structures will be a non-specular color or composed of a material that will blend in with the surrounding natural set- ting. All exposed concrete will require a color additive. (FEIS Section 2.4.1, page 2-36) [1,2,9,lOJ ES 14 The Grantee will replace wildlife habitat capacity lost because of innudation or disturbance. Wil d1 ife habitat miti gation wi 11 be accomplished by the proponent in the general vicinity of the project, but outside the Wilderness boundary. Required improve- ments will be coordinated by the Forest Service with the Colorado Division of Wildlife and projected lost habitat capacity will be replaced in locations specified prior to the start of project development.
