ROADS: <br />ACCESS: The existing access from US-160, with improvements, will continue to be used as the sole access to the <br />site and property. CDOT is requiring that the curve on the road be moved further from the highway for safety (sight <br />distance) purposes. The entry shall be 24-feet wide with 25-foot radii, and the gate shall be located a minimum of 50 <br />feet from the edge of US-160. Acceleration/deceleration lanes (tum lanes) are not required at this time by CDOT, but <br />may be required in the future, based on shipments. <br />PIT ROADS (HAUL): Four roads will be constructed and used in the permit area; three of these are permanent, and <br />one is tem ra <br />Road A Entrance to Plant Site A 2000 feet Permanent <br />Road B Plant Site A to Plant Site B 3000 feet Life of ermit, ossible future use <br />Road C Road B to Year 9 area 1000 feet Permanent, ma be narrower <br />Road D Road A to Year 13/14 area 1100 feet Tem ra ,Years 11 to 20 <br />All roads will be constructed as all-weather, gravel roads, minimum 24-feet width or as required by MSHA standards <br />for mine haulage, mine access, fire and other emergency purposes. Roads will include drainage features (ditches, <br />culverts, berms, check dams, etc.) as required by storm water and related permits, safety berms or other devices as <br />required by MSHA, and signage as required by MSHA and OSHA standards for mining and industriaVcommercial <br />purposes. Permanent roads will be constructed to current Montezuma County Road Standards. <br />ROAD A: Road A wil- be upgraded during Phase I. The road will meet county specifications, but approximately 1060 <br />feet of the total 2000 feet will be mined out and rebuilt at the new post-mining elevation in Years 15,17, and 19. This <br />will be a permanent gravel road for future use of the landowner after mining. Speed limits, dust control chemicals <br />and watering will be used to control dust. <br />Roads B, C, and D will be constructed in segments during remaining phases. Permanent roads will be left in place <br />and functional at the end of mining and reclamation; temporary roads wilt be removed and their footprint reclaimed <br />when no longer required. <br />ROAD B: Starting in Year 1, and assuming the asphalt plant will located in Plant Site B only in Year 6 or later, a <br />secondary access/haul road will be built along part of the western edge of the site and along the crest of the slope <br />separating the upper area of the site to be mined (in Years 1 to 6) from the forested slope and valley floor. This road <br />will be extended each year as mining progresses, and will connect along the north edge of the site to Plant Site B. If <br />Plant Site B is needed for an asphalt plant before Year 6, the remainder of Road B will be built in a single project. <br />ROAD C: Starting in Year 7, a road will be constructed for approximately 1000 feet east from Road B on the south <br />edge of Year 6 (Road C on Map C-3). This road will be approximately 1900 feet long, but the northern 1300 feet will <br />~ This is one of the permits which initially limits production from the site. <br />McStone Aggregates, LLC 15 FEB 2008 ©WASTELINE, INC 2008 PN 5006.1-4(009) <br />
