(i) Specify if explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining (or reclamation). In <br /> consultation with the Office, the Applicant must demonstrate pursuant to Rule 6.5(4), <br /> Geotechnical Stability Exhibit, that off-site areas will not be adversely affected by blasting. <br /> No explosives will be used in conjunction with mining or reclamation. <br /> (j) Specify the dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that will be used for the mining <br /> operation. Describe any improvements necessary on existing roads and the specifications to <br /> be used in the construction of new roads. New or improved roads must be included as part <br /> of the affected lands and permitted acreage. Affected land shall not include off-site roads <br /> which existed prior to the date on which notice was given or permit application was made to <br /> the office and which were constructed for purposes unrelated to the proposed mining <br /> operation and which will not be substantially upgraded to support the mining operation. <br /> Describe any associated drainage and runoff conveyance structures to include sufficient <br /> information to evaluate structure sizing. <br /> Mining traffic will enter and leave the site via the pre-existing road which is approximately 20 <br /> feet wide. A road will be constructed beginning on the west side of Unit A where the pre- <br /> existing road currently is located adjacent to the permit area. This road will be constructed <br /> into Unit A from that point and remain in place until final reclamation occurs. No new roads <br /> are needed to access the proposed operation at this time and no improvements are necessary <br /> for the existing access route. The road will be maintained as necessary to allow continued <br /> access into the mining site. Additional internal haul roads will be constructed as mining <br /> commences to the north between Units A and B. This road will bifurcate the Units and be <br /> extended to the north to accommodate haulage from the North Section Units back to the <br /> Processing Site in Unit A.The road will be constructed on an as needed basis up to the bottom <br /> of Unit D and reclaimed as mining moves back south to Unit A. Then as mining progresses <br /> into the South Section, the haul road will bifurcate the South Units and be constructed as <br /> needed down to Unit J and then reclaimed as mining and reclamation move back north to Unit <br /> A.By doing it this way,reclamation of the road is incorporated into reclamation of the mining <br /> units. <br /> CoProp LLC—Rodeo Dunes Mine Page 5 of 5 <br /> Construction Materials Regular Operation(112(c))Reclamation Permit Application Form <br />
