RULE 3 PERFORMANCE BOND REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />Rule 4 Performance Standards 4-5 Revision Date: 4/6/23 <br /> Revision No.: TR-159 <br />4.03.2 Access Roads <br /> <br />The Taylor Creek Access Road provides access to the East Taylor Ponds from Haul Road A. The <br />Taylor Creek Access Road is a pre-mining two-track or ranch road that has been upgraded for a <br />more stable driving surface than the pre-mining road provided. The Taylor Creek Access Road <br />will not meet all the requirements for an access road under Rule 4.03.2 as the existing road will be <br />graveled, and a small berm is constructed to meet MSHA requirements. Please see Map 25C for <br />design details for the Taylor Creek Access Road. The Taylor Creek Access Road has been <br />requested by the surface landowner to remain as a permanent structure. Please see Volume 2B, <br />Exhibit 1B for request of the Taylor Creek Access Road to remain post mine. <br /> <br />Information related to the Sturgeon Access Road is found in Volume 12, Section 4.03.2. <br /> <br />Several access roads will be constructed in the East Pit to allow access to manage post-mine <br />channels, stock ponds, and to construct sediment ponds. Please refer to Volume 2E, Appendix <br />Exh. 7-14R for additional details on the East Pit Access Roads. <br /> <br />4.03.3 Light-Use Roads <br /> <br />The location of light-use roads will be determined on the basis of the progress of the mining <br />operation and specific design and environmental considerations. Typical light-use roads will be <br />"access" roads of recent construction in the pit areas for blasting and maintenance, exploration <br />roads, and reclamation access roads. <br /> <br />Light-use roads, whether in the pit or other areas, will be constructed using the best technology <br />currently available, to the extent possible, to avoid damage to fish, wildlife, and related <br />environmental values and to prevent additional contribution of suspended solids to runoff outside <br />the permit area. Roads in the pit areas will be constructed on an already disturbed material. <br />Reclamation access roads and exploration roads will be restored immediately after they are no <br />longer needed. Information contained in Section 2.05.6 reveals that no fish and wildlife damage <br />will result from mining operations, including the construction or operation of light-use roads. The <br />light-use roads will be used by pick-ups, light-duty service trucks, track-mounted overburden <br />drilling rigs and tractors. <br /> <br />The location of the light-use roads will be determined largely by the immediate need of the mining <br />operations. They will not be located in the channel of any major drainage unless specifically <br />approved by the Division. <br /> <br />Light-use road construction will generally require no topsoil removal. Roads in pit areas will <br />already have been pre-stripped of topsoil for mining and the construction of exploration roads will <br />only require removal of any large vegetation. <br /> <br />Light-use road maintenance will include maintaining natural drainages across the roadway and <br />periodic dozing to remove loose material which might contribute to sedimentation or road <br />instability. <br />
