• County Roads <br />Mining and reclamation activities wilt be conducted within 100 feet of current public roads. <br />However, when blasting or any other mining activities which could create a potential safety <br />hazard are occurring, public access will be prevented and traffic will bypass the specific work <br />area while such activity is being conducted. These activities will be sequenced in a manner <br />to allow public travel through the area on other public roads in the immediate vicinity. <br />BB Detour Road <br />As part of the mining operation, portions of BB Road and 2700 Road will be disrupted. Both <br />of these roads are considered collector roads and are administered by Montrose County. <br />Temporary access will be provided by installing a detour along the northern edge of the <br />mining area, which will connect back to 2700 Road north of the mining area. The plan profile <br />for this detour is shown on Map 2.05.3(3)-9 and the cross sections of the road are shown at <br />• 100 feet intervals on Map 2.05.3(3)-10. <br />The timing of the relocation and the restoration is given in Table 2.05.3-10-3. The best <br />location for the main detour was north of the proposed operation and immediately south of <br />Tuttle Draw. Map 2.05.3(3)-9 shows the detour road in plan view, which will provide access <br />for all users north of the site along 2700 Road to and from Nucla. A special access turnout <br />has been provided for the Reeder and Garrett properties. Since the intersection of 2700 <br />Road and BB Road (Sunshine Ranch Corner) will also be removed, all existing users west <br />on BB Road must be provided new access. These users are Enstrom, Johnson and Wilcox. <br />This is to be done by using the existing county road (BB 27) which goes west from 2700 <br />Road approximately 1300 feet south of the Sunshine Ranch Corner and ends at the Morgan <br />house. An extension of this road will be provided to the Enstrom, Johnson and Wilcox <br />properties. These are the only users of the western portion of BB Road who will be affected <br />by the operation. The Morgan extension road will be installed to BB Road as shown on Map <br />2.05.3(3)-S Mine Roads. 86 Road ends at the Wilcox property which maintains his access. <br />Johnson and Enstrom use their existing driveways from BB Road and then use the Morgan <br />extension to get out to BB 27 Road and then to 2700 Road. BB Road West will be restored <br />as the pre-existing dirt road for reclamation. <br />• <br />(Revised July 2006) 2.05.3(3)-43 <br />
