Typical gravel (road surfacing) chazacteristics conform to the following specifications:
Screen Size Material Passine
1-%: inch 100%
1 inch 75-90%
3/8 inch 40-75%
No. 4 mesh 30-60%
No. 10 mesh 20-45%
No. 40 mesh 15-30%
No. 200 mesh* 5-15%
*The fraction passing the No. 200 mesh shall not begreaterthantwo-thirds of the fraction passing the No. 40 mesh
Once the roads aze no longer needed, culverts will be removed, and the roads and associated drainage features will
be reclaimed by grading road surfaces, fills, and ditches to blend with the surrounding terrain. Topsoil is generally
not available for reclaiming the roads because they have been constructed in previously disturbed azeas, therefore,
the best available plant growth media will be utilized as a soil substitute. Potential growth media will be analyzed
for nutrients and, if indicated, soil supplements will be applied. Following soil substitute replacement, reclaimed
road azeas will be seeded with the standazd revegetation seed mix.
I. Access/Haulroad
The Access/Haulroad as shown on Map 24, Surface Facilities and Map 24A, Road Location and Classification,
extends from Routt County Road 27 to the road intersection neaz the fresh-water borehole. Although the posted
speed limit for this road will be 30 mph or less, road horizontal alignment is based on a 40 mph design speed for
safety reasons. Across-section and centerline profile of the Access/Haulroad is shown on Map 30, Road Profiles
and Cross-Sections. Grade and pitch requirements were not exceeded inroad design or construction.
Vegetation was cleared for no more than the width needed for the roadway and drainage control. The
Access/Haulroad was constructed with a minimum of 36 inches of compacted road fill topped with a 12-inch gravel
base and 6 inches of gravel surfacing. The road fill consisted of mine spoils, contains less than 25 percent rock
larger than 6 inches and was spread in successive uniform layers not exceeding 12 inches, prior to compaction.
Embankment materials utilized conformed to applicable standards. No excess or unsuitable material from
excavations was encountered. No acid and toxic-fomung materials were encountered during embanlanent
construction. The Access/Haulroad was surfaced with gravel to form a durable road surface. Acid and/or toxic
fomvng substances were not used in the road surfacing. Construction activities for the access/haulroad were
conducted in accordance with the approved Pemvt C-82-056. As-built P.E. certifications for the Access/Haulroad
aze included in Exhibit 25, As-Built Certifications of Access/Haulroad and Other Hauhoads.
Subsequent to initial construction of the Access/Haulroad, TCC obtained approval (MIt 03-184) and resurfaced the
existing Access/Haulroad with a 4- to 5-inch asphalt matt. The matt is approximately 30 feet wide, except adjacent
to the office building where it is up to 45 feet in width. Minor subgrade prepazation was completed prior to
placement of the asphalt matt. A report addressing surfacing recommendations for the road is presented in Exhibit
48-3.
17A. Haulroad ConneMor
A short (approximately 120') haulroad segment was approved (Technical Revision to Permit C-82-056, April 16,
1984) and constructed to wnnect the TCC haulroad (Access/Haulroad) with the existing CYCC Haulroad B. This
road segment extends from the Access/Haulroad at the road intersection neaz the freshwater borehole to the
beginning of Haulroad B-2 just west of the 0-Entry shaft. and fan building, as shown on Map 24, Surface Facilities.
The centerline road profile for the Haulroad Connector is included as part of the Haulroad B-2 profile, and the
profile and typical cross-sections are shown on Map 30, Road Profiles and Cross-Sections.
