A light-use road may be constructed in the same alignment as a haul or access road that is <br />to be constructed on the same location et a later date. This may be permitted it the <br />requirements for the location of the haul or access road are met, and the construction <br />begins within 6 months from the time the light-use road is constructed. <br />Light-use roads will not be located in wet, steep, or unstable areas where complete <br />reclamation under 4.03.3(7) cannot be accomplished. <br />Design and Construction <br />Field-design methods may be utilized for light-use roads. <br />Vertical Alignment. Except for pre-existing roads, roads within the disturbed area in <br />accordance with 4.05.2(4), or where lesser grades ere necessary to control site-specific <br />conditions es approved by the Division maximum road grades will be as follows: The <br />overall grade will not be steeper than 10h:iv (70 pe rtent); the pitch grade will not be <br />steeper than Sh:ty (20 percent) for any consecutive 1,000 feet; the pitch grade exceeding <br />20 percent will not be longer than 300 feet within any Consecutive 7,000 feet. <br />Horizontal Alignment. Light-use roads may meander so es to avoid large growths of <br />vegetation and other natural constructions. <br />Road Cuts. Sidecest construction may be used. <br />Road Embankments. Compaction on embankments will be required only to the extent <br />necessary to control erosion and maintain the road. <br />Topsoil Removal. Topsoil will be removed and stockpiled where required by the Division <br />or where excavation would require replacement of material and redistribution of topsoil <br />for proper revegetation. Vegetation will not be cleared for mare than the width necessary <br />to serve traffic and utility needs. <br />Drainage. <br />Light-use road drainage will consist of culverts in flowing streams, wet areas, end in <br />ephemeral channels as necessary to protect the facility during its life and to minimize <br />disturbance of the hydrologic balance. Sediment control will comply with 4.05.2 and <br />i6 <br />4.05.5. <br />
