Golden Eagle Mine Permit # C-81-013 Access Roads Location: As operations have ceased, and all Haulroads are in the process of being reclassified as Access roads, this statement refers to all Haulroads and Access roads as Access roads. The location of all Access roads is shown on Map 10 of the permit. They are not located in any stream channels, nor do they ford any stream. The roads and the corresponding drainage plan are located to minimize downstream sedimentation and flooding. Design and Construction The grades on all roads is less than 10 percent. No road has any section of 300 fee[ with a grade exceeding 15 percent, and no consecutive section of 1,000 feet with a grade over 15 percent. The roads reasonably follow the existing topography. Road widths are adequate for the volume of traffic. Typically, these roads are used for pickups and other light vehicles. All cut slopes and road embankments aze less than I.Sh:ly and have been stabilized with respect to erosion with vegetative cover. Although knowledge is not available regarding actual construction, all road embankments appear to be adequately constructed and stabile. Drainaee All road surfaces are sloped sufficiently to prevent the ponding of water and erosion of the road surface. Culverts are provided at all drainage crossings. Culvert sizing is shown on Tables 19 & 19A in the permit. Ditches exist along all roads to control drainage. Ditch sizing information is presented on Tables 17 & 20A in the permit. Unless otherwise noted on the tables, all culverts and ditches are designed to carry the peak discharge from a ]0- year, 24-hour precipitation event. Surfacine Although actual construction knowledge is not available, the surface of all access roads appears to be of appropriate material (crushed rock or gravel). Maintenance All Access roads and related drainage control structures are inspected regularly, and maintenance identified is performed to ensure compliance with performance standards.
