Light Use Road Drainage
The Bates Portal light use road is designed, and shall be maintained to have adequate
drainage, using ditches and culverts. The water control system is designed to safely
pass peak runoff from a 10 -year, 24- hour precipitation event. The drainage design
for the Bates Portal light use road is shown on Map 13a.
Drainage design for the 0.2 mile long light use road that provides access to slurry
wells S2 and S3 is shown on Map 14. Drainage designs for the RDA light use roads
that provide access to the cell repeater are shown on Map 13.
No surfacing will be utilized for the light use roads. The light use roads will be
maintained adequate for the intended use of the roads. A light use road damaged by
a catastrophic event will be repaired as soon as is practicable after the damage has
occurred.
Light Use Road Reclamation
Light use roads will be reclaimed.
The Bates Portal light use road will be reclaimed in conjunction with the reclamation
and backfilling of the Bates Portal.
The temporary light use road located in the lower reaches of the RDA #1 expansion
area will be reclaimed following its use. Test pits will be backfilled and returned to
AOC. The area will be seeded and mulched.
RDA Feed Belt for Development Waste Rock
This beltline transfers development waste up to the existing RDA beltline and to the RDA
(Refuse Disposal Area). This belt will be removed and the surface reclaimed when the
beltline is removed from service.
This Belt System consists of bolt together structure mounted on stands. At locations where
the beltline crosses a drainage system; the belt structure will be suspended from cables that
are anchored on either side of the drainage system. The belt will have spillage containment
devices to prevent any spillage from entering/contaminating any drainage not reporting to
Pond 07.
The belt line will run from east to west starting at the RDA belt and set
approximately parallel to and south of Highway 12 and north of the Purgatoire River.
