Maintenance. Haul roads are inspected on a daily work basis. 11. upon inspection, it is determined <br />that repairs are needed, appropriate repairs such as, but not limited to, blading, tilling of potholes. • <br />replacement of the road surlaces. revegetation of side slopes and watering for dust control, will be <br />conducted as necessary. <br />Retention. SCC proposes to leave sections of haul roads as permanent access roads in the permit <br />area. These roads will increase the utilization of the reclaimed and surrounding areas. When a haul <br />road is no longer needed for operations, SCC proposes the following: <br />a. The top road surface will be narrowed to approximately 20 feet <br />b. The road surfacing material from the narrowing of the section will be placed on the <br />re.-raining road width <br />c. The section of road that is to be narrowed will be cross ripped <br />d. The Till slopes will be rounded or reduced to conform the site. All berms will be blended <br />into the slopes and made to drain <br />e. All existing culverts will remain to ensure the drainage pattern <br />f. Slopes flatter than 3H:1 V will be retopsoiled <br />g. All areas redisturbed by road narrowing activities will be reseeded to the edge of road <br />surface. <br />Restoration. Unless SCC requests retention of haul roads for postmining land use and the Division • <br />approves such request, immediately aher the road is no longer needed for operations, reclamation, or <br />monitoring: <br />a. The •oad will be closed to vehicular tralfic; <br />b. The natural-drainage patterns will be restoretl; <br />c. Ail culverts will he removed; <br />d. Roadbeds will be ripped, plowed and scarified; <br />e. Fill ;lopes will be rounded or reduced and shaped to conform the site to adjacent terrain <br />end to meet natural-drainage restoration standards: <br />f. Cut slopes will be shaped to blend with the natural contours; <br />g. Terraces will be constructed as necessary to prevent excessive erosion and to provide long- <br />term stability in cut-and-fill slopes; <br />h. The regraded area will be reclaimed in accortlance with the approved reclamation plan; <br />i. Unless otherwise authorized by the Division, all road-surfacing materials will be removed. <br />hauled or conveyed and disposed under 4.11 .4. <br />• <br />?? Revised 2/99 <br />
