37. By September 1, MCC will post warning signs, at <br />locations designated by the USFS, to warn hunters of <br />dangers associated with increased traffic on roads <br />resulting from project activities, drilling operations, and <br />methane-venting. Depending on the location of drill rigs <br />during the big game seasons (typically only during early <br />seasons), additional temporary gates may need to be <br />installed to prevent public ATV access to active drill <br />sites. Roads closed to public motorized use due to drilling <br />or methane-venting operations shall be clearly posted as <br />"closed" using signs with maps of the closure area and the <br />reasons for closure. At each closure location Manual of <br />Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) approved <br />road closure devices must be used. To minimize conflicts <br />with hunters, project traffic will not be allowed on the <br />Minnesota Creek, Horse Gulch, and Dry Fork roads <br />(except for emergency use) during the periods of one hour <br />before sunrise and two hours after sunset during the big <br />game rifle hunting seasons. Additional security and <br />public safety measures may be considered and approved <br />or directed by the District Ranger. <br />38. Cross country motorized vehicle travel is prohibited. <br />Mine related traffic is permitted on approved roads and <br />designated trails only. <br />39. If snow is removed from the Minnesota Creek and Dry <br />Fork Roads, removal must be performed in compliance <br />with MCC's Road Use Permit, and must be pre-approved <br />by the District Ranger. If snow is plowed, public <br />snowmobile traffic will not be permitted on this road. <br />Snow shall be compacted to. 4 inches, and then allowed to <br />freeze before hauling loads where GVW would exceed <br />10,000 pounds. MCC will be responsible for erecting a <br />temporary closure device on snowplowed roads to <br />prevent public motorized access on the road. This closure <br />must meet MUTCD requirements. <br />BMP <br />Road Use <br />Permit (FSM <br />2733.04b <br />and FSM <br />7730), <br />Gunnison <br />Interim <br />Travel <br />Restrictions <br />Road Use <br />Permit (FSl~i <br />2733.04b <br />and FSM <br />7730) <br />28 <br />
