• 3.5.6 ROAD RECLAMATION <br />When roads are no longer required for mining operations, they will be <br />scarified and regraded to approximate original contour. If topsoil was <br />removed from the road area, it will be retopsoiled. All regraded roads <br />will be revegetated in accordance with applicable State and Federal law. <br />Six roads will remain at the time of mine closure. These roads will <br />be retained to access various areas of the mine for on-going monitoring and <br />future management of the area. The locations of the retained roads and <br />associated culverts are shown of Exhibit 3.5-7. These roads are designated <br />as: <br /> 1. North Road <br /> 2. Skyline Drive <br /> 3. Lower Moffat Road <br /> 4. West Ridge Road <br /> 5. Oak Creek Entrance Road <br />• 6.

Specific cross-sections for this road are provided on <br /> Exhibits 3 .5-36 and 3.5-43 while a typical cross-section is depicted on <br /> Exhibit 3. 5-Sa. The profile segment locations and the cross-section <br /> locations are shown on Exhibit 3.5-1. Culverts to be retained in <br /> association with this road include: E5, E4, E3, E2, E1 and E12. A typical <br /> culvert installation is shown on Exhibit 3.5-2. <br /> The surfaced portion of the roadway will be narrowed to have a <br /> maximum width of 40 feet. This width is considered appropriate to enable <br /> unimpeded two-way traffic of semi-tractor-trailer vehicles and/or farming <br /> equipment. Narrowing of the road surface will be performed by reclaiming <br />• the downslope side of the roadway. Gravel on the portion of the road to be <br /> TR-35 3.5-6 July 21, 1997 <br />
