• 2.05.3 <br />A discussion of the access and light use roads in the permit area follows: <br />An access road will be constructed from the portal bench to the utility bench <br />as shown on the Facilities Map 15-2. The road is a total of about 1600 feet <br />long with the maximum grade of 12%. This access road will provide access <br />to the water tank and substation and provide the necessary tie to the light <br />use roads during mining operations. This access road section will be <br />reclaimed. <br />Access roads to the utility corridor will be constructed as shown on the <br />Facilities Maps, 15-1, and 15-2. These short road sections will be <br />constructed at strategic locations from the main haul road to the utility <br />corridor. They will provide access to the utility corridor and will be used <br />during construction of the water pipe line and high voltage power line. These <br />access roads will be reclaimed. <br />An access road will be constructed south of the unit train loadout as shown <br />on Map 15-1, 15-3 and 15-4. This road is approximately 1,400 feet long with <br />a maximum grade of less than 1% since it parallels the railroad grade. <br />County roads will be utilized for ingress and egress to and from this access <br />road. The new access road will be reclaimed. <br />An access road will be constructed from Gob Pile No. 3 to the topsoil <br />stockpile and coverfill stockpile as shown on Maps 15-3 and Figure 1 <br />(Volume XI). This road is approximately 900 feet long with a maximum grade <br />of 5%. The new access road will be reclaimed. <br />As part of the preparation plant development, two access roads will be <br />constructed to provide access to the plant. The access roads are shown on <br />Map 15-1. Both roads are approximately 100 to 150 -feet long and have <br />maximum grade of about 5%. <br />Access roads will be reclaimed in the following manner: <br />The roads will be closed to vehicular traffic. The natural drainage patterns <br />will be restored. Roadbeds will be ripped, plowed and scarified. Road <br />surfacing materials will be removed and disposed of in an appropriate <br />location. The area will be regraded to approximate original contour and <br />covered with topsoil and revegetated in accordance with section 2.05.4. <br />.
