In Governor Basin at the Monongahela/Hubb Reed Raise,there is a secondary escapeway and <br /> buried refuge chamber should there be a need to evacuate the mine and access to the main portal <br /> is blocked. In addition, there is a headframe and hoist building located in Governor Basin within <br /> the proposed Amendment 02 permit boundary (See Map C-1B). <br /> 4.8 Designated Parking and Storage Areas <br /> A gravel parking area is provided for employees and visitors just northwest and adjacent to <br /> the mine offices. Signs will be posted stating that visitors must check in at the mine office. See <br /> Map C-la for location. <br /> 4.9 Mine Access Roads <br /> Access to the Revenue Mine will be via the existing site access road that connects to County <br /> Road 26. A gate is in place on the south side of the bridge to restrict access to the mine site. In <br /> addition, a security building is located at the entrance as an added measure of security to manage <br /> traffic in and out of the mine during peak tourist seasons. Signs also are posted at the entrance to <br /> discourage the general public from entering the mine site. <br /> An access road connects the Atlas TSF to County Road 26 with a crossing over Sneffels Creek. <br /> This road is seen on Map C-la. The access is gated except when in use. <br /> OSMI uses Forest Service Road 853.1 to gain access to the area in Governor Basin where the <br /> secondary escapeway and ventilation shaft are located. Once the Yellow Rose Raise is <br /> constructed, access to the site will be via Forest Service Road 869.3A. OSMI is working with the <br /> forest service to obtain a road use permit to use these roads for site access. <br /> 4.10 Utilities <br /> San Miguel Power Company supplies electricity to the site using the existing power poles and <br /> lines. As shown on Map C-IA, two power poles and a power line are located on the east side of <br /> the operation. These poles are the property of San Miguel Power Association (SMPA) and an <br /> agreement is in place acknowledging that the permitted mining and reclamation activities will <br /> not negatively impact the utilities. <br /> Water for bathrooms, showers, and other general uses comes from a vault approximately one- <br /> half mile underground. Both the Administrative and Mill buildings contain a potable water <br /> treatment system and water is treated and monitored in accordance with a public water supply <br /> permit No. CO-0246283 issued by CDPHE WQCD. <br /> A septic system is installed in accordance with state and county requirements near the <br /> mine offices and dry change facilities. <br /> The mine shops, mine office, and line out buildings are heated via propane from three propane <br /> tanks located throughout the facility. The locations of the propane tanks are shown on Map C- <br /> IA. <br /> Revenue Mine <br /> Amendment 02 D-22 <br /> Updated August 2022 <br />
