the pipeline ruute and stored in stockpiles as described in the Orchard Val- ley Mining and Reclamation Pennit. Excess subsoil covered by topsoil exca- vated from the pipeline construction would be "crowned" over the pipeline for anticipated sail settlement. The vegetative slash would be redistri- buted over the pipeline fill to discourage access over the pipeline route, shade plant seediinys, and slow surface water run-off over the pipeline fill. The pipeline construction would require temporary detouring of Farmer's Mine Road, Approximately one month's interference to traffic on Partner's Mine Road would be anticipated, The pipe]ine would be constructed beneath the Fire Mountain Canal in non-irrigation times, The pipeline would be drilled beneath State Highway 133 so as not to interfere with traffic, Construction noise would be similar, because of equipment utilized, as with the overland conveyor. The construction activity would generally be limited to daylight hours. The foundations for all structures would utilize conventional concrete form- ing, reinforcing, and pouring techniques, The loading and unloading systems building would be totally enclosed to enhance visual blending, reduce fugi- tive dust transport, and reduce operational noise, The structural steel supports would be erected utilizing conventional techniques, The pipeline would be buried and would not affect wildlife movement, Where the pipeline is not buried, sufficient room will be left for wildlife access below the pipeline, If an archaeological site cou]d not be avoided, further documen- tation would be completed before construction proceeded, • The pipeline route would cross Federal (BLM), CWI, and private (Estate of J.R, Morrell) properties, see Drawing N13, Appropriate applications would be completed by CWI for Federal right-of-way before construction was started, Appropriate private land acquisition would be completed by CWI, As a safety precaution, public access would be restricted on the pipeline route. The pipeline would not restrict hunter access in these areas, The loading and unloading structures and pipeline, when above ground, would be painted to blend in with natural background colors. The extent of the mechanical and electrical construction is not known exactly and is estimated at a small portion of the overall construction, The pipeline would be constructed on a Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Divi- sion designated al]uvial valley floor (AVF) on areas south of the Fire Moun- tain Canal, Reclamation procedures for the AVF are described in the Reclamation Section, following, All disturbed areas would be graded and revegetated during the Spring or Fall following completion of construction, see Appendix "E" for seed mix- tures. Operations ' CWI would operate the pipeline in intervals throughout a 24-hour period. The pipeline operations would be started with an air compressor, Noise baf- fles and soundproof buildings would be constructed to house the compressors, 32
