The road width increase will be on the order of about four (4) <br />feet. (Please refer to the two attached figures, for location and <br />construction details). <br />The section of road in question is simply to narrow, especially in the <br />winter months, to guarantee the safety of men and equipment utilizing <br />the road. It is imperative that the road be widened now. <br />The outslope of the road section to be widened currently slopes at <br />about 1.5:1 (horizontal to vertical) down to the North Fork Gunnison <br />River. In order to maintain the current stability of the slope and to <br />eliminate any environmental harm to the river, it is proposed to place <br />an approximate two (2) foot vertical retaining wall consisting of an <br />old mine car on the outslope in order to gain the four (4) feet of <br />additional road width required as shown on the attached typical cross <br />section. As in the case when the road was constructed, the fill <br />material used will not contain any coal and will consist of minus six <br />(-6) inch material compacted in continuous thin lifts. <br />Any damage to the reclaimed slope down slope from the road <br />construction will be promptly repaired by Bear Coal Company. <br />
