structures, facilities, slab footings and foundations will be demolished and buried on-site. Areas disturbed by decommissioning will be regraded, covered with topsoil, and revegetazed. On-site burial of concrete or asphalt at the time of sodium mine site decommissioning will be subject to prior approval by the BLM. 2.2.3 Access Roads A main access road will be constructed from Rio Blanco County Road 5 (Piceance Creek Road) to the Piceance Site processing plant. The access road will be a 24-foot-wide asphalt concrete road with 4-foot-wide shoulders. A few permanent service roads will be located through the Piceance Site, most of which are already in place (Steigers Corporation 1998). Temporary roads will be necessary to allow access to areas under development and operation with the well field. Each mining panel will have a central access road. A network of minor access roads will be constructed to serve the wells. These well access roads will be consttveted concurrent with development of new wells. 2.3 DOCUMENT SCOPE The Plan describes measures and procedures that will be used to conserve soils and control erosion and sedimentation during the development and operation of the Yankee Gulch Project. The Plan also identities measures and procedures that will he implemented for interim revegetation and stabilization of disturbed areas, and for final reclamation. Monitoring activities are prescribed to evaluate the success of erosion control and revegetation efforts during the development, operation, and closure of project components. The measures and procedures described in The Plan will be used to recreate pre-project land uses: to control erosion and sedimentation; and to restore stable, safe and productive postmining conditions to the project area to the degree practical and achievable under available technology and BMPs.
