44,03 ROADS <br />4,03.3 Light-Use Roads. <br />1 <br />(1) (a) CWI currently utilizes light-use roads [o access hydro- <br />logic and subsidence monitoring stations. The roads <br />have been designed and constructed previously for ex- <br />ploratory drilling, recreational cabin access, and for <br />[he existing land use of rangeland, CWI will construct <br />a light-use road to access the OVIdM ventilation shaft <br />and water tank from [he Orchard Valley West Mine site. <br />One monitoring road accesses the east portion of the <br />permit area (hereinafter referred [o as fast Road) <br />around the old Farmer's Mine. <br />One monitoring road intercepts Steven's Gulch road <br />north of rile (~~I wellfield and accesses the central <br />portion of the permit area (hereinafter referred [o as <br />Central Road). <br />The other monitoring road intercepts Steven's Gulch <br />Road south of [lie CWI well field and accesses [he west- <br />ern portion of [he permit area. <br />All of these roads have been designed and constructed <br />• to minimize erosion and siltation, air and water pollu- <br />tion, and damage to property. <br />(b) The light-use roads were field designed and constructed <br />using accepted engineering practices. AppropriaCe con- <br />struction techniques and limited use of roads ensure <br />Chat damage to fish and wildlife resources and suspend- <br />ed solids are minimized. <br />(c) Tne three light-use monitoring roads have been used at <br />least seven years, and have demonstrated that actual <br />volume, weight, and speed of vehicles can be main- <br />tained. Vehicle access, other than wide-tire, all-ter- <br />rain vehicles, will Se restricted on [he OVId!TMI fan shaft <br />road, until vegetation is well established and monitor- <br />ing requirements are reduced. <br />(d) All light-use roads currently being used for cabin ac- <br />cess or ranching will not be removed. Such roads will <br />be reveg eta[ed [o minimize environmental harm. Any <br />light-use road used exclusively for monitoring will be <br />regraded to approximate original contour, if possible, <br />and revegetated. <br />(?) (a) All light-use roads have been located on ridges or on <br />• the most stable available slopes to minimize erosion. <br />Revised 08/01/55 <br />Revised ]n/01/67 <br />Revised 03/26!58 <br />24 <br />
