Other water information such as water rights, consumptive use, etc. is given in Exhibit G - Water <br />Information. <br />1.3 Access Roads <br />Five existing accesses are present on the site, all of which were present in 1975. These are accesses <br />1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 as shown on Map C -2. Accesses 1, 2 and 3 enter Highway 9 south of the town of <br />Alma. Access 6 leaves the permit area in the northwest corner and eventually joins with Highway 9 <br />north of Alma. Accesses 1 and 6 have been active up to 2003 and used by both the gold mining and <br />the gravel mining operations. As gold mining progresses to the south, Access 1 will be disrupted to <br />the main part of the site and Access 4 will be installed. As mining continues south, Accesses 2, 3 <br />and 5 may be used. Access 5 enters the existing private road at the south end of the permit area <br />which then immediately enters Highway 9. Access 7 is an old access immediately west of the town <br />of Alma. There was a large metal culvert in place to cross the River at this location, but the road <br />above this culvert has been washed out prior to 1977. This access has not been used in years. No <br />accel /decel lanes have been required at any of the existing accesses. Since the gold mining operation <br />does not produce much off site traffic and since the gravel mining operation is not planning to in- <br />crease production over the past 3 -4 year period, no new accel/decel lanes are needed for access. <br />All access roads are compacted dirt or gravel and approximately 30' in width. Water or magnesium <br />chloride will be applied to all roads (primarily by the gravel mine personnel) to keep dust down <br />while mine vehicle traffic occurs. The Ducommun Business Trust agrees to provide one usable <br />access to the Gumaer property during mine operation and after reclamation. During mining, the <br />access location may move, but it will always be provided. <br />Alma Placer Mine 1115 24 <br />
