the light use roads must flow through vegetation before its reaches the nearby
ephemeral channel or leaves the permit area so there is some filtering of run-off.
The light use road is approximately 3,800 feet long, 8 to 12 feet wide, with an
average grade of 3%. Pitch grades are not steeper than 20% for any consecutive
1,000 feet. There are no grades that exceed 20%. Side cast construction will be used.
Light use roads will be located to minimize downstream flooding. Run-off from
Compaction on embankments will be provided by the construction equipment and
performed only to the extent necessary to control erosion and maintain the road.
Topsoil will be removed and set aside for final reclamation use in any locations where
excavation would require replacement of material and redistribution of topsoil for
proper revegetation. Vegetation will not be cleared for more than the width necessary.
No surfacing will be utilized for the light use roads. The light use road will be
maintained adequate for its intended use and watered as necessary to control dust. A
light use road damaged by a catastrophic event will be repaired as soon as is
practicable after the damage has occurred.
The light use road will be completely removed and the land affected will be
regraded to approximate original contour, revegetated and mulched.

acres, necessary to support the exploration operation. The bench site was selected
and approved by virtue of a joint on site inspection by the United States Geological
Survey, Bureau of Land Management and representatives of the Operator. This bench
is shown in Figure 2.2-4.
