This road is needed to <br />allow access to the new conveyor construction area and the <br />occasional monitoring of the completed conveyor. <br />• As will be noted on figure 1 the proposed location of the new <br />road takes off from the switch-back of the existing road. The <br />location of the new road will lie entirely within our permit <br />boundary area. The overall grade will be 9.5~ with a maximum <br />pitch grade of 10% (Figure 2). <br />The length of the new road will be 1850 feet. Assuming an average <br />road width of 15', and an additional 15' for the cuts and fills, <br />the total acreage of disturbance will be 1.27 acres. The ridge. <br />where the road is to be located is composed mainly of Mancos <br />Shale with very little topsoil available. A conservative average <br />depth of topsoil in this area is 6". Therefore, 1030 yards of <br />topsoil will be removed and stockpiled at the approved Sutey <br />topsoil location. <br />The construction sequence for this road will be as follows: <br />1) All topsoil will be removed and stockpiled. <br />2) A 24" diameter culvert will be placed at station 0+00 <br />(junction of existing road and new road). <br />3) Where cuts are in unconsolidated material the slope will <br />be 1V:1.5H. Cuts in Mancos Shale will be 1V:0.25H. <br />When operations cease, and final reclamation has begun, the road <br />will be put back to its approximate original contour and <br />reclaimed. The bonding calculations for this road are as follows: <br />156 <br />
