2.05.3 <br />removed. Roadbeds shall be ripped plowed or scarified. Fill slopes shall be <br />rounded or reduced and shaped to conform the site to adjacent terrain and to <br />meet natural drainage restoration standards. Cut slopes shall be shaped to <br />blend with the natural contour. Terraces shall be constructed as necessary to <br />prevent excessive erosion and to provided long term stability in cut and fill slope. <br />Road surfacing materials that are incompatible with the postminig land use and <br />revegetation requirements shall be removed and disposed of in appropriate <br />disposal areas as authorized by the DRMS. <br />Light Use Roads <br />There are two light use roads on site. Light use road #1 runs parallel to the rail <br />loop and provides access to silt fences, ditches, ponds and the rail. It is located <br />on the outside of the rail loop, is nearly level, and is about 1.4 miles long. The <br />light use road will be constructed by adding 10 -feet of width to the rail loop <br />roadbed section at the top of selected material (sub - ballast) elevation. <br />Light use road #2 provides construction equipment access from 14 Road south of <br />the mainline tracks to the rail spur. The road runs easterly from 14 road <br />approximately 1,000 feet within the Union Pacific right -of -way and then turns to <br />the south and intersects the rail spur on the Applicant's property. This light use <br />road is about 1,500 feet long and follows the existing terrain. The grade varies <br />from nearly flat to 10 %. Six inches of topsoil will be salvaged from this light use <br />road. This light use road will be plated with six inches of road base gravel. <br />The primary purpose of light use road #2 is to provide access to the western <br />side of Reed Wash for construction of the rail bridge. Initially appropriate <br />construction silt fences will be installed then a track hoe and off road truck(s) <br />will construct the topsoil stockpile SAE. Topsoil will be salvaged from the light <br />use road and the rail spur. Topsoil will be placed in topsoil stockpile #2. The <br />light use road and rail subgrade will be inspected. Unsuitable subgrade <br />material will be excavated and temporarily stockpiled in the rail spur corridor. <br />Gravel will be imported to plate the light use road and stabilize the rail <br />subgrade as needed. The crane used for driving piles will then have access to <br />the west side of the rail bridge. <br />Limited cut and fill operations for the rail spur will run concurrent with the <br />bridge construction. A bulldozer, front -end loader, track hoe, off road trucks, <br />compactor and water truck are required for the cut and fill operations. In <br />Permit Application 2.05 -15 01/12 <br />
