APX 0 Paae - 3 <br />The foregoing road compliance statement on pages 1 and 2 is applicable to the entitle <br />road from Colorado State Highway 139 to the Munger Canyon Mine site. The entire j <br />road is approximately 10,660 feet long. As discussed below, 6,300 feet of the road lias <br />been converted to a haul road leaving 4,360 feet categorized as access road. <br />Section 2.2,2.1, Waste Disposal Haul Road, explains that access to the waste dispo <br />area is from Colorado State Highway 139 as shown on Figure 2.2-7b. The haul road <br />approximately 6,300 feet long with an average grade of 2.3%. The maximum pitch <br />grade of the road is 3%. There are virtually no road cuts on this haul road section. I <br />constructed on grade in the valley floor. During late 2004 approximately 1,000 feet c <br />the haul road was relocated to the north to provide room for the construction of the <br />waste disposal area. The relocated section of haul road was also constructed on the <br />valley floor. All vegetation material and topsoil was removed from the design road b <br />and shoulders. No vegetation material or topsoil was placed beneath or in any haul <br />road embankment. Compaction was provided by hauling equipment which was rout <br />over the fill and routing varied sufficiently to achieve uniform compaction. Gravel wa <br />salvaged from the existing roadbed and replaced on the relocated haul road segmerl <br />The entire relocated road segment is within the disturbed area associated with the ci <br />waste disposal site, and drainage from the road segment is directed to the sedimen~ <br />pond. <br />Typically the haul road is 16 to 20 feet wide. The haul road is plated with pit run gr. <br />surfacing. This road is secured with a locked gate where it crosses over Salt Creet <br />Therefore, use is very limited. The truck traffic which will utilize this haul road segm <br />will be 10 wheel and 18 wheel trucks. Truck traffic will also be very limited and <br />sporadic. Considering the low volume and sporadic use of the haul road, the width <br />surfacing of the haul road should be adequate for the intended traffic. <br />The haul road from State Highway 139 to the gob pile will be periodically watered <br />maintained with a motor grader. Gravel will be added to the road surface as nece: <br />Ditches along the roadway will be periodically cleaned with a motor grader and the <br />shoulders will be smoothed, <br />The-haul road will be reclaimed in accordance with Section 3.3.1, Backfill and <br />Lower Road. <br />~~®~~.: <br />~°~f,n ~ •:4~E <br />G~~ <br />a >o E.
