2.05.3 <br />Gravel road surfaces will be periodically watered and maintained with a motor <br />grader. Ditches along the roadways will be periodically cleaned with a motor <br />grader. Cut and fill sections will be vegetated and gullies, if any, will be repaired <br />at least annually. If the hauls roads are damaged by a catastrophic event such <br />as a flood or earthquake, they will be repaired as soon as practicable after the <br />damage has occurred. Gravel will be added to the road surfaces as necessary. <br />Haul Road Reclamation <br />Reclamation of the haul roads will involve returning the roads to their pre- mining <br />contours. Haul Road #2 will be closed to traffic. Natural drainage patterns shall <br />be restored. Bridges and culverts if any shall be removed. Roadbeds shall be <br />ripped plowed or scarified. Fill slopes shall be rounded or reduced and shaped to <br />conform the site to adjacent terrain and to meet natural drainage restoration <br />standards. Cut slopes shall be shaped to blend with the natural contour. <br />Terraces shall be constructed as necessary to prevent excessive erosion and to <br />provided long term stability in cut and fill slope. Road surfacing materials that are <br />incompatible with the postmining land use and revegetation requirements shall be <br />removed and disposed of in appropriate disposal areas as authorized by the <br />DRMS. Haul Road #1, while currently considered a private road, is included in <br />the City of Fruita's annexation plans. Once the road becomes public, it will not be <br />closed upon completion of reclamation, it will remain open and will not be <br />reclaimed. If Haul Road #1 is not annexed into the City of Fruita and remains a <br />private road throughout the life of the Loadout Operation, upon completion of <br />operations, Haul Road #1 will be reclaimed as outlined above. <br />Access Road General Requirements <br />Temporary erosion control measures will be implemented during the construction <br />of the access road if the access road is not in an area where run -off is contained <br />within a sediment pond. Straw bales, riprap, check dams, vegetation or other <br />alternative sedimentation control measures will be used to reduce overland flow <br />velocity, reduce run -off volume, or trap sediment. After construction is complete <br />the area disturbed will be seeded and mulched to reduce the rate and volume of <br />run -off. These actions will control or prevent erosion and siltation, pollution of air <br />or water, and damage to public or private property. These actions will also <br />assure no damage to fish and wildlife and related environmental values occurs. <br />Additionally these actions will assure no additional contribution of suspended <br />solids to stream flow or to runoff outside the permit area. <br />Permit Application 2.05 -13 01/12 <br />
