Stover & Associates, Inc.) <br />Ron Thompson, Louis Head, John Terry (NECC) <br />Marcia Talvitie, Leigh Simmons (DRMS) <br />Haul Road Design <br />Temporary approval has been granted by CDOT for passage of three 30 ton haul trucks across <br />highway 12. <br />A condition of the approval is that the trucks should not cross the highway in wet weather. <br />Fill slope - NECC will re- survey slopes to verify steepest gradient. DRMS will also need to verify <br />nature of rock in slope, by inspection, in order to satisfy the 1.3 safety factor requirement. <br />Vertical grade - NECC will need to address the variance from "standard" specification. Discussion <br />should focus on surface water flow and its potential for erosion. <br />Surface - NECC currently has no plans to amend the road's surface. DRMS will inspect surface for <br />suitability. NECC will need to plan for increased maintenance with the increased traffic. The CDOT <br />restriction on wet weather traffic will help to protect the haul road's surface <br />Leigh Simmons <br />aPp <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />P 303.866.3567 x 5121 1 F 303.332.8106 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 <br />teigh.simmons@state.co.us I http-,//mining.state.co.us/ <br />https: / /mai l.g oog le.conVmai 1 /u /0 / ?ui =2 &i k= e29129fcb5 &view = pt &search =i nbox&th= 147bl445f8l77033 &si ml= 147bl445f8l77033 1/2 <br />
