could result in damage to the environment. The road is also entirely within the disturbed area of <br />the mine. The road was constructed on grade (with the exception of the Pond 007 Crossing <br />described below) and only minor fills of 1' to 2' height were used. The side slopes are a <br />maximum of 3H:1 V and are well vegetated. <br />The 50' Street Light Use Road crosses Pond 007 at approximately station 45+00, as seen on Map <br />2.05.3(3)-8. A professional engineer has prepared a report detailing this section of the road and <br />the embankment stability near Pond 007. The report for this crossing can be found in Attachment <br />2.05.3(3)-9. A pair of 42" CMP's under 5a` Street deliver water from the northern section of <br />Pond 007 to the southern section before it is released into Calamity Draw. This crossing has <br />functioned without any problems for approximately 12 years. <br />4. Reclamation <br />The portion of the road that is truly along 5t' Street will remain (from Station 23+50 to the end at <br />53+80. The County has agreed to accept this road into their road system once the mine is <br />reclaimed. This was approved as part of the Special Use Permit in 1999. The portion of the road <br />from 0+00 to 23+50 will be reclaimed according to the procedures described below. <br />New Horizon will reclaim a light -use road when it is no longer needed in accordance with the <br />reclamation plan, described in Section 2.05.4. The road will be closed to vehicular traffic. The <br />natural drainage patterns will be restored. All culverts will be removed. Roadbeds will be ripped, <br />plowed or scarified. Cut and fill slopes will be rounded or reshaped and blended into the <br />surrounding topography. Cross drains, dikes or water bars may be constructed to control erosion <br />as required. Road surfaces from which topsoil has been removed will be covered with topsoil and <br />revegetated in accordance with the reclamation plan. <br />N. County Roads (January 2016 - No Longer Applicable: Roads Rebuilt) <br />Mining and reclamation activities will be conducted within 100 feet of current public roads. <br />However, when blasting or any other mining activities which could create a potential safety <br />hazard are occurring, public access will be prevented and traffic will bypass the specific work <br />area while such activity is being conducted. These activities will be sequenced in a manner to <br />allow public travel through the area on other public roads in the immediate vicinity. <br />1. BB Detour Road <br />As part of the mining operation, portions of BB Road and 2700 Road will be disrupted. Both of <br />these roads are considered collector roads and are administered by Montrose County. Temporary <br />access will be provided by installing a detour along the northern edge of the mining area, which <br />Section 2.05.3(3) Page 33 February 2017 (TR -78) <br />
