CNAPTERFIVE Draft EIS Reulslons <br />below Around in 6-foot corrugated conduit pipes and would be accessible through a locked box at <br />ground level. <br />These valves would be located neaz the road in Stewart Gulch and at the upper end of the <br />Parachute Creek valley. This would create three sections alone the pipeline ~~orridor. The upper <br />section would be approximately 15 miles lone, the middle section would be ,approximately 20 <br />miles long, and the lower section would be approximately 9 miles long <br />U-shaped expansion joints would be placed on both pipelines at appropriate intervals to allow for <br />pipe movement when the pipe is initially heated. <br />A 125-foot-wide construction ROW (working easement) for the pipeline would allow sufficient <br />room for operation of construction machinery, placement of excavated materials, and movement <br />of other pipeline construction traffic along the pipeline trench during pipeline construction. <br />Within the construction ROW, trees and shrubs would be cleazed across the entire corridor to <br />accommodate pipeline construction activities and topsoil would be salvaged from the entire <br />ROW and redistributed during ROW reclamation. ial-tree-axd-sly <br />,..~ a«..«:,... a:......~„ ...t-_ .~...., .~... ~. ~. + ;-~6..pt~Bli9e-ti~H6h- <br />ff ~ ' °. > <br />>:~-te-si* Five laydown azeas of appmxirnately 4 acres each would be located along the pipeline <br />route at positions that aze logistically significant for construction, not necessarily within or <br />adjacent to the pipeline corridor. In addition,-~9-te~~ 45 temporary use aze:u of approximately 1 • <br />acre each would be established along the pipeline corridor at road and streani crossings and at <br />other points such as at the top and bottom of Davis Point. <br />Pale 2-22 <br />2.2.5.4 Evaporation Pond Monitoring <br />The evaporation ponds to be located at the Piceance Site and the Parachute f>ite are described in <br />Section 2.2.1.2 and Section 2.2.3.2, respectively. Monitoring of potential overflow from the <br />ponds would occur on a daily basis by visual inspection. Although overflows aze not expected <br />because adequate freeboard would be incorporated into all pond designs, an;~ overflows would be <br />reported to the BLM and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment within 72 <br />hours. <br />Page 2-26: Well Field Reclamation <br />The analysis for this EIS assumes conservatively that the latter situation world prevail and that <br />reclamation of one mining panel would commence at approximately the same time as initiation <br />of development of the next mining panel. Therefore, at any one time, the disturbed azea in the <br />well field would roughly approximate the size of one of the mining panels. Additional azeas <br />(equivalent to 1 to 2 mine panelsl would be in various staees of vegetative dlevelopment after <br />initiation of revegetation This would occur beginning at veaz 5 and contimiing for about 10 <br />veers after completion of rninine. The amount of land that could be substantially disturbed <br />within each of the 5-yeaz mining panels outlined for development during the first 30 yeazs of <br />mining (Figure 2-2) is listed in Table 2-2. These amounts range from 59 acres to 98 acres and • <br />average about 80 acres. <br />5-4 <br />
