Number 3 was regraded and a ditch constructed along the side of the <br />road to carry runoff from the area (Drawing D-4-7). <br />• <br />Construction was begun on the road above the storage area with embank- <br />ments made from mine waste material. All materials from the road were <br />removed and placed on the refuse disposal area. The road area will be <br />regraded and revegetated as stated in the Interim Reclamation Plan. <br />Roads branching off from the public road leading to the facilities <br />have lockable metal gates and are posted "Private Property". With the <br />gates locked, the public can pass through the site without access to <br />the facilities. All segments of private road that are narrow or have <br />steep outslopes are equipped with steel posts and cable guard rails. <br />Roads at the mine are traversed daily by a 7,500 -gallon watering truck <br />during dry periods for dust control. In addition, interim revegeta- <br />tion will be applied to control erosion. <br />The number of public vehicles using the county road is small, from <br />10 recent experience it is estimated that approximately 26 vehicles per <br />year pass through the mine area due to hunters, campers, and upstream <br />landowner visits. Beyond the mine, the road is an unimproved track <br />suitable for only four-wheel drive vehicles. Furthermore, a locked <br />gate on private land, a short distance upstream, limits use to a <br />minimum. <br />W <br />(33) Supply Areas <br />The Upper Supply Area is a 1.6 -acre graded storage area where various <br />types of timber (i.e., mine support beams, cribbing, wedges, etc.) and <br />scrap metals are stored, while the Lower Supply Area is a 1.3 -acre <br />graded site storing such mining equipment as motors, conveyor parts, <br />4-15 <br />
