2) After mining continues west of 2700 Road and the area for the permanent line has been <br />backfilled and graded, the permanent line can be installed and should be ready for the 2005 <br />irrigation season. <br />Temoorarv Relocation of BB Road <br />The mining of the amendment area will involve the temporary relocation of portions of BB Road. <br />The timing of the relocation and the restoration is given in Table 2.05.3-10-3. The best location for <br />the main detour was north of the proposed operation and immediately south of Tuttle Draw. Map <br />2.05.3-14 shows the detour road in plan view, which will provide access for all users north of the <br />site along 2700 Road to and from Nucla. A special access turnout has been provided for the <br />Reeder and Garrett properties. Since the intersection of 2700 Road and BB Road (Sunshine <br />Ranch Corner) will also be removed, all existing users west on BB Road must be provided new <br />access. This is to be done by using the existing county road (BB 27) which goes west from 2700 <br />Road approximately 1300 feet south of the Sunshine Ranch Corner and ends at the Morgan <br />house. An extension of this road will be provided to the Enstrom, Johnson and Wilcox properties. <br />These are the only users of the western portion of BB Road who will be affected by the operation. <br />BB Road ends at the Wilcox property. <br />i The only traffic that will be slightly inconvenienced will be that traffic that travels from north of the <br />operation directly south on 2700 Road or in the opposite direction. This is a small percentage of <br />the traffic that uses the BB Road/2700 Road intersection. This traffic would have to use the detour <br />to go to the town of Nucla, approximately 1.0 miles further east. In some cases, the destination of <br />this traffic is somewhere south of Nucla, so there may actually be no additional distance traveled. <br />This detour is expected to be in effect from the time 2700 Road is excavated in mid-2002 until <br />mid-2004 when the road will be replaced with gravel. The following year, the road would be paved <br />in its original location. <br />Main BB Road Detour Design Details <br />A detailed plan with engineering drawings of the detour has been supplied to Montrose County for <br />approval together with the revised special use permit application for the mine in July of 1999. <br />Once final approval is granted, documentation will be supplied to the Division. <br />The existing portion of BB Road through the amendment area will be used until mid to late year <br />2000 when mining will require the use of the detour. The detour will be 4550 feet long and will be <br />installed to the Montrose County Road and Bridge specifications for collector roads. This entails <br />the following items: <br />(Revised 12/00) Attachment 2.05.3(3) -10-104 <br />
