<br /> Road Dimensions (g)
<br /> As previously stated there are 1640 ft of roads within the pit boundaries. The roads are
<br /> unimproved and of the native soil and rock. A description of what is commonly called a
<br /> "two-track" road fits well (30 ft wide). Roads are not graveled or hardened. If
<br /> conditions warrant, the roads will be hardened with material from the pit ( e.g.,
<br /> operating during wet conditions).

<br /> There are no culverts, shoulders, or waterways associated with roads within the pit
<br /> boundaries.
<br /> Water Usage (h)
<br /> There is no plan to utilize any on location water sources for the mining operation.
<br /> Surface Water and Runoff(i)
<br /> Water does have the potential to move across the pit during heavy summer monsoon
<br /> rains. On the north side, slightly outside of the pit boundary, there are dirt berms that
<br /> have been built to prevent water from flowing onto the multipurpose flat (Map C-1). At
<br /> the base of the High Wall there is a depression that will retain runoff from the top of the
<br /> High Wall. The depression dries quickly after the rains stop.
<br /> There should be no ground water encountered or utilized.
<br /> Water Rights (j)
<br /> There are water rights on West Douglas Creek and East Douglas Creek but given that
<br /> there is no water usage from West Creek or other sources, there will be no impact.
<br /> Water rights are located 5-6+ miles (Highway 139 mi. ) up and downstream from the pit.
<br /> See Map Appendix C-2 on page C-18 in Appendix C.
