2.05.3 <br />(2) <br />Operation Description -Underground Mining <br />The proposed surface disturbance associated with the underground mining <br />activities within the permit area include; 1) haul roads; 2) access roads; 3) a <br />utility corridor; 4) benches for mine facilities; 5) a gob pile and 6) unit train <br />loadout. The area has previously been disturbed by the construction of <br />access roads for property management and mineral exploration and the long <br />term operation of the old King Mine. To the extent possible, the existing <br />access road corridors were integrated into the surface disturbance. <br />I• <br />P R-07 <br />A I PRovED <br />S ~1~-~03 <br />The proposed disturbed area, is shown on the Mine Facilities Maps Nos. 15- <br />1, 15-2, 15-3 and 15-4. The Mine Plan Maps No. 14 & 14-B present the <br />proposed underground development schedule. <br />1. Haul Roads <br />The haul road will enter the property from old State Highway 133. The traffic <br />on this road will flow one of two directions. The first will be access to the <br />mine facilities area which is located about 9,500 feet from the highway. This <br />road rises about 800 feet from the old State Highway. The second traffic <br />direction will be to the gob pile. This road will traverse to the east along a rail <br />road siding bench previously utilized by the old King Mine operation. The <br />gob pile is located east of the mine entrance below the old King Mine portals. <br />2. Access Roads <br />Access roads are to be constructed from the main haul road to the utility <br />corridor as shown on the Mine Facilities Maps 15-1 and 15-2. An access <br />road was also constructed from the portal bench to the utility bench. <br />3. Utility Corridor <br />A utility corridorwas constructed to provide a cleared route forthe water line, <br />power line and downhill conveyor. The proposed surface disturbance is a <br />steep corridor about 3,000 feet long. <br />2.os - 7 - vos <br />
