Alternatives <br />Table 2-2 <br />Design Criteria <br />Topic Design Criteria for the Proposed Action <br /> resume until approved repairs or improvements are made to resolve the problem. <br /> These limitations apply to any NFSR even if it is not included in the project area or <br /> transportation plan. <br /> Previously approved ATV trails upgraded for project use would remain open <br /> following project completion and would be decommissioned to ATV trails. <br />New roads Light-use or low-volume roads (designed to applicable design standards based on <br /> American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) <br /> "Guidelines for Geometric Design of Very Low-Volume Local Roads (ADT<400) <br /> Low Volume Road Standards) and pads will be graveled. Surfacing access roads, <br /> including open channel crossings of minor tributaries should utilize gravel or crushed <br /> rock on the running surface of the road to reduce ongoing erosion of the channels by <br /> vehicle traffic. <br /> New roads will be laid out on top of ridges (or the top one-third of hillside) to avoid <br /> wet areas and improve road stability. <br /> Stream crossings will be minimized in number and engineered to protect streams from <br /> sedimentation and erosion and will additionally be laid out at right angles to flow.* <br /> Outslope access roads to promote removal of water from the road surface. Surface <br /> drainage structures shall be constructed at appropriate intervals to divert water from <br /> roadway surface..... Relief ditches at regular intervals to direct drainage off of the <br /> road grade and into vegetated areas. <br /> Ditches would be allowed to vegetate or include large rocks or stones to slow the <br /> velocity of drainage and allow sediment to settle out. <br /> Where drainage ditches are installed to direct runoff away from the road, water bars <br /> or hay bale dikes would be installed perpendicular to the flow direction of the ditch to <br /> reduce runoff velocity and settle out sediment on steeper grades. <br /> Road construction plans would identify specific locations of drainage features and <br /> BMPs for approval by the FS prior to constmetion. <br /> Road design packages will be submitted to the FS for approval prior to any <br /> construction activity. <br /> Project access roads will be gated and closed year-round to the general public. <br /> Personnel with access will be monitored to insure such access is not abused; i.e., no <br /> access during non-working hours for purposes unrelated to the project such as hunting <br /> or off-roading. <br /> All access roads constructed for the sole use of this project will be decommissioned <br /> by obliteration when no longer needed for the project and reclaimed. <br />Roads in Inventoried Any approved road construction or reconstruction in Roadless that are excepted by <br />Roadless RACR must be conducted in a manner that minimizes effects on surface resources, <br /> prevents unnecessary or unreasonable surface disturbance, and complies with all <br /> applicable lease requirements, land and resource management plan direction, <br /> regulation, and laws. <br /> Roads constructed or reconstructed must be obliterated when no longer needed for the <br /> purposes of the lease or upon termination of expiration of the lease, whichever is <br /> sooner. <br />Staging Areas Staging areas will be used in a manner to minimize damage to vegetation. Any <br /> surface disturbances to these sites would be re-graded and seeded. <br />' Deer Creek Ventilation Shaft and E Seam Methane Drainage Wells DEIS 23 <br />
