C-15 r1 <br /> loop, returning to the main ranch service road, after which they will proceed southwesterly through the <br /> gated entry and thence to Weld County Road 59, and ultimately, onward to Interstate 76. <br /> The new road construction is anticipated to include pre-stripping of the uppermost 12-inches of"growth <br /> medium". It is anticipated that this material will be effectively"wind-rowed"into safety berms(which will <br /> also serve as protective perimeter berms surrounding the main mine pit and fines recovery pit,respectively) <br /> along the interior shoulders of the loadout loop. Surplus material (if any) will be transported to "topsoil" <br /> stockpile TS-IA. <br /> This will be followed by sub-grade preparation and compaction, placement of a 4-inch coarse aggregate <br /> sub-base(either Class 5 or Class 6 road base),and placement of an overlying 4-inch coarse aggregate travel <br /> surface. The roadway will be constructed in two lifts utilizing a roller compactor to ensure that a stable <br /> running surface is established. <br /> All road base and surfacing materials will be obtained from commercial aggregates suppliers in the <br /> proximal area and imported to the site. CSC anticipates routine loadout loop road maintenance will include <br /> re-grading and compaction (as warranted), and water and/or (non-toxic) chemical binder application for <br /> enhanced surface cohesion and dust suppression purposes. <br /> The newly constructed load out loop area encompasses a nominal 13-ft. wide roadway extending over a <br /> total length of approximately 2,100 linear feet. Accordingly, it will remain interior to and occupy <br /> approximately 0.6 acres within the Permit Area. <br /> Other Internal Travel-Ways: Other internal travel-ways will be established around and throughout the <br /> plant and operations area, all of which will be internal to the Permit Area and as such, are also included in <br /> the Permit Area calculation. <br /> While specific locations and/or extent remains indeterminate at this juncture, these routes will be utilized <br /> for increased efficiency in heavy equipment movement,maintenance activities, supplies delivery,routine <br />
