NEWMONT <br />GOLDCORPM <br />3.8.1 Public Roads <br />Public roads will be used to transport materials to the site and to ship product and wastes from <br />the site. Public roads will not be used for hauling. However, there is a growth medium storage <br />area located south of previously approved realigned SH 67 that will be accessed during <br />reclamation of the VLFs. Access to this area over SH 67 was approved under Amendment 8 and <br />no change in those activities is proposed as part of Amendment 13. <br />3.8.2 Access Roads <br />Light vehicle access roads are used for survey, environmental monitoring, and other ancillary <br />uses. These roads are within CC&V's operating area and will continue to be constructed as <br />necessary for light vehicle and delivery vehicle traffic. Access roads are constructed of <br />appropriate materials and sized approximately to a two-lane road width. Depending on the <br />locations and anticipated duration of use, the access roads may be accompanied by drainage <br />ditches or other drainage control measures to minimize the potential for erosion. <br />3.8.3 Haul Roads <br />No changes to haul roads are proposed under Amendment 13. Amendment 13 will use existing <br />primary haul roads with new roads added as needed to provide access to mine areas. <br />The actual location of haul roads may vary over time as a function of the mining plan. The haul <br />road segments will accommodate the haulage, loading, and support traffic on the site. Haul roads <br />are designed to allow two-way traffic of large haul trucks. Axle -high safety berms will be provided <br />along each side of the road, as required by MSHA. Where necessary, such berms also are formed <br />along the centerline of the road. Haul roads constructed for surface mining areas and the VLFs, <br />where 240 -ton trucks are used, are approximately 120 feet wide, and each lane is approximately <br />45 feet wide. Haul road berms will contain openings, sized as necessary. to allow stormwater <br />runoff from to flow from the road surface to ditches and other stormwater management features. <br />The haul road alignments may follow the topographic ridges or run along or across contours on <br />hillsides. Bedrock is at or near ground surface in mine areas; therefore, site preparation will <br />generally include growth medium removal and storage and limited cut -and -fill grading. Subgrade <br />preparation for haul road fill placement will be minimal, except as required in specific instances <br />such as culvert locations. In general, soils will be removed along the haul road alignment to <br />expose a competent, stable subgrade material. Where soil layers are sufficiently thick (e.g., <br />greater than six inches over a greater than one -acre area) and accessible (i.e., mechanical means <br />can be easily used to remove), the soil material will be salvaged and stored for use in reclamation. <br />Overburden material may be used for road fill as well as local materials derived from the cut. <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company <br />Cresson Project Amendment 13 <br />17 <br />Exhibit D <br />
