- 4 - <br />• <br />of the valley of Munger Creek and its tributary. The total <br />length of the road can be divided into two distinctly <br />different sections; the west, lower section, follows the <br />valley of the T7unger Creek; the east, higher road section, <br />follows the side of the valley of a t4unger Creek tributary. <br />Although both valleys are located in the same geologic <br />formation and both of them probably have an identical geo- <br />morphologic development, they are different from the topo- <br />graphic point of view, The valley of the Munger Creek is much <br />wider and it has a wide strip of alluvial deposits developed <br />on its bottom. Because of the considerable width of the al- <br />luvium, the road may be designed and developed at the valley: <br />bottom without encroaching on steep slopes of the valley sides. <br />The valley of the Munger Creek tributary, where the upper <br />road portion will be constructed, is quite different. The <br />valley is much narrower, the width of the alluvial deposits <br />at the valley bottom is very limited, and it decreases to <br />zero in the upper valley portion. Frequent changes in the valley <br />axis direction do not enable development of any reasonable <br />alignment for a road at the valley bottom. As it is necessary <br />to reach the elevation of the proposed mine that is located <br />high above the valley bottom, it is necessary to develop the <br />alignment on the valley sides. <br />• Both valley sides are quite different. The north side <br />
