Loadout Stockoile/Refuse Pile Access Road <br />An access road was constructed to provide bulldozer access from the Loadout stockpile azea to the waste pile azea during <br />construction of the refuse disposal azea. The road will tie the southwest side of [he Loadout stockpile to the northwest <br />end of the waste pile, following an abandoned mad-cut in the hillside above the Loadout stockpile for approximately 100 <br />feet, then will continue uphill for approximately 300 feet and cross the waste pile perimeter ditch section RDA-1 c into <br />the waste pile area (see Map 24). The access road was designed and constructed in accordance with the design <br />requirements of Rule 4.03.2. The design and certification is presented in Exhibit 25N, Refuse Pile North Access Road. <br />Topsoil was removed and stockpiled in accordance with Rule 4.06. The azea proposed for the 300-foot access road <br />section required stripping of approximately 16 inches of topsoil from a 30-foot wide azea. Approximately 444 cubic <br />yazds of topsoil was removed from this section and placed in Topsoil Stockpile SF-8. The lower 100-foot section of <br />access road is located in a disturbed area where topsoil has been previously stripped and stockpiled. <br />Construction of this access road was completed in accordance with the specifications detailed in Figwe 22, Access <br />Road Typical Sections. Surfacing consists of a 12-inch sub-base of 6-inch minus pit-run rock surfaced with atwo- inch <br />layer of 1'h-inch crushed rock. The access road crosses the waste pile perimeter ditch in section RDA-1 c with a 40-foot <br />long 18-inch CMP culvert installed at the crossing. Culvert sizing and installation is in accordance with Rule 4.032(4). <br />Road drainage was directed to the west end of the road and into Ditch D-1. <br />Reclamation of this access mad will occw after the road is no longer needed for its intended purpose, and will include <br />removal of the culvert, ripping of the road surface, topsoil redistribution, and revegetation. Topsoil will be redistributed <br />over the road area and the azea seeded with an appropriate seed mix during the first available planting period. <br />IV. East and West Ramos to Portal Are <br />The east and west ramps to the portal area were constructed in accordance with permit C-056-82, approved April <br />• ]6, 1984. Locations may be found on Map 24, Surface Facilities. Profiles and cross-sections may be found on <br />Map 30, Road Profiles and Cross Sections. Overall grade does not exceed 10 percent. <br />V. Light-Use Roads to Powerline Substation <br />A light-use road and a permanent road will be used to access the substation. The light-use road will run 4,800 feet <br />to the substation and will follow the existing "fence" road. The light-use road will be designed per the <br />requirements of Rule 4.03.3, Light-Use Roads. The light-use road will be sufficiently maintained in order to asswe <br />erosion control. Surfacing of the road will be adequate for the general use of the road, and during winter and <br />spring, snow removal. Access to the light-use road and substation will also require the utilization of a permanent <br />road approved by the CMLRD on February 3, 1988 (Technical Revision TR87-12; Permit C-81-071). This <br />permanent road runs 12,000 feet from Country Road #27 and is maintained under CYCC's Permit C-81-071. The <br />roads will be maintained by TCC. Upon substation removal, the light-use road will remain as part of the approved <br />postmining use of ranch management. The light-use and permanent road aze shown on Map 39, Substation and <br />Powerline Location. <br />A light-use road will be used to access a subsidence borehole meter at Mine 2 (MR89-37). The road will be <br />reclaimed upon completion of the subsidence borehole metering. <br />• <br />7806-52 2.05-73 02/] 7/06 <br />
