structures, facilities, slab footings and foundations will be demolished and buried on-site. <br />Areas disturbed by decommissioning will be regraded, covered with topsoil, and revegetated. <br />On-site burial of concrete or asphalt at the time of sodium mine site decommissioning will be <br />subject to prior approval by the BL.M. <br />2.2.3 Access Roads <br />A main access road will be constructed from Rio Blanco County Road 5 (Piceance Creek <br />Road) to the Piceance Site processing plant. The access road will be a 24foot-wide asphalt <br />concrete road with 4foot-wide shoulders. A few permanent service roads will be located <br />through the Piceance Site, most of which aze already to place (Steigers Corporation 1998). <br />Temporary roads will be necessary to allow access to areas under development and operation <br />with the well field. Each mining panel will have a central access road. A network of minor <br />access roads will be constructed to serve the wells. These well access roads will be <br />constructed concurrent with development of new wells. <br />2.3 DOCUMENT SCOPE <br />The Plan describes measures and procedures that will be used to conserve soils and control <br />erosion and sedimentation during the development and operation of the Yankee Gulch Project. <br />The Plan also identifies measures and procedures that will be implemented for intenm <br />revegetation and stabili7adon of disturbed aeeas, and for fmal reclamation. Monitoring <br />activities are prescribed to evaluare the success of erosion control and revegetation efforts <br />during the development, operation, and closure of project components. The measures and <br />procedures described in The Plan will be used to recreate pre-project land uses; to control <br />erosion and sedimentation; and to restore stable, safe and productive postmining conditions to <br />the project area to the degree practical and achievable under available technology and BMPs. <br />• Amrncan Soda L.L.P. 2-3 <br />Soil Conservation, Emsion and Sediment <br />Control, Reclamation, and Revegetation Plan <br />October 28. 1998 <br />Reviscd Apri19, 1999 <br />
