• 2.05.3 <br />use roads during mining operations. This access road section will be <br />reclaimed. <br />Access roads to the utility corridor will be constructed as shown on the <br />Facilities Maps, 15-1, and 15-2. These short road sections will be <br />constructed at strategic locations from the main haul road to the utility <br />corridor. They will provide access to the utility corridor and will be used <br />during construction ofthe water pipe line and high voltage power line. These <br />access roads will be reclaimed. <br />An access road will be constructed south of the unit train loadout as shown <br />on Map 15-1, 15-3 and 15-4. This road is approximately 1,400 feet long with <br />a maximum grade of less than 1% since it parallels the railroad grade. <br />County roads will be utilized for ingress and egress to and from this access <br />road. The new access road will be reclaimed. <br />Access roads will be reclaimed in the following manner: <br />The roads will be closed to vehicular traffic. The natural drainage patterns <br />• will be restored. Roadbeds will be ripped, plowed and scarified. Road <br />surfacing materials will be removed and disposed of in an appropriate <br />location. The area will be regraded to approximate original contour and <br />covered with topsoil and revegetated in accordance with section 2.05.4. <br />Liaht Use Roads <br />County road 4365 lane ends at the south side of the bridge over the Fire <br />Mountain Canal. A private road extends from the end of the County road to <br />Pond K. This light use road, including the county road segment, is <br />approximately 1,400 feet long with an average grade of 7% and a pitch grade <br />of 18%. The road is used to access the batch weigh system and to monitor <br />pond K. This existing light use road will not be reclaimed. Since this road <br />is preexisting, the location design and construction specifications listed under <br />Rule 4.03.3(2) & (3) do not apply. <br />The light use roads used for monitoring are typically jeep trails that can be <br />identified on Map 9, Hydrologic Monitoring Location. Run-off from the light <br />use roads must flow through significant vegetation before its reaches any <br />stream or leaves the permit area. The vegetation will filter sediment from the <br />run-off and slow or stop the flow. No empirical demonstration of the <br />effectiveness of the vegetation filter is presented. However, a visual <br />• inspection of the area surrounding the light use roads will confirm it is <br />unlikely the light use roads will cause damage to fish, wildlife or other <br />PR-07 2.05 - 25 - 2/03 <br />A PPRovE~ <br />5~~2~03 <br />
