ERC <br /> 6.0 HAUL ROADS <br /> The site will be traversed with primarily light vehicle pickup trucks and haul trucks. The roads will be used <br /> occasionally by large equipment when moving within different areas of the site. Haul roads as shown on <br /> Drawings C-2 through C-11 and include a primary haul route that extends the entire north-south length <br /> of the project area along the west side of the reservoir. This is an existing road that has been improved <br /> for use by large equipment. The road is approximately 20 feet wide and is gravel surfaced. This road has <br /> been and will continue to be used when removing materials from the settling ponds and transporting <br /> them to Stockpile 1 or the West Stockpile. The access route along the north side of the Milton reservoir <br /> is not regularly used for the current mining operation, however, the road does experience daily use of <br /> larger vehicles/equipment to support dam maintenance and by oil/gas companies that infrastructure in <br /> the area. <br /> An access routes is shown along the east side of the reservoir. This route is an existing road that is used <br /> by the boating community that has several spots along the shoreline in this area. The road is in good <br /> shape and would be improved and maintained more often if it were to be used as a haul route for the <br /> mine operation. <br /> Off-site transport trucks entering the mine to load out stockpiled materials will enter in the southwest <br /> corner of the mine site. The proposed plant site is sited in this area such that materials produced by the <br /> mining operation can be efficiently loaded into trucks and transported off site without having to enter a <br /> significant portion of the mine. <br /> 7.0 REFERENCES <br /> Arnold and Gibbons (1996)and Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments(2005). <br /> Colorado Division of Water Resources(DWR 2019), "Colorado-New Mexico Regional Extreme <br /> Precipitation Study REPS Tool and Met Portal PF Tool Interim Use Guidance Document," State of <br /> Colorado.Version:January 15, 2019. <br /> Colorado Division of Water Resources(DWR 2022), "Guidelines for Hydrological Modeling and Flood <br /> Analysis,"State of Colorado.
