Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company MLE Traffic Impact Study <br />tube counters on various roadways surrounding the mine. Additionally, 14-hour turning <br />movement counts were taken at the intersection of SH 67 with the Carlton mine access <br />and the intersection of CR 82 with the Ironclad mine access. The raw data for both the <br />tube counts and the 14-hour counts is contained in the appendix to this study. <br />Figure 1 shows the current total daily traffic (the sum of both non-mine and mine-related <br />traffic) taken by the tube counters. Truck traffic is shown in parentheses. (For the <br />purposes of this study, truck traffic is considered to be heavy or large vehicles that are <br />bigger than a pickup truck, two-axle, dual rear-wheel delivery truck. For this study, the <br />heavy or large trucks would comprise all the vehicles in the FHWA Classification Table <br />that are in classifications six (6) through 13.) <br />Figure 1 also shows mine-related traffic for select roadway segments. Mine-related truck <br />traffic is also shown in parentheses. Daily mine-related non-truck traffic was determined <br />by examining mine traffic versus total traffic during the 14-hour turning movement <br />counts and applying that percentage to the total daily traffic. Based on conversations <br />with CC&V, it is estimated that most of the mine-related truck deliveries are made during <br />the 14-hours between 5:30 AM and 7:30 PM. Therefore, daily mine-related truck traffic <br />was determined by totaling the truck turning traffic from each hour of the 14-hour turning <br />movement counts. <br /> <br /> <br />sH <br />190 (13) <br />drat <br /> <br />«: e~, <br />s" <br />~ <br />- .~ <br />+, ~~ <br /> <br /> <br />IrondadAtxes~ ~~« ~~~ <br />' <br />_ _ _ __ . <br />iCRIPPIE <br />- ~ 159 (~, <br />;, . <br />.. __ __ <br />CR 83 ~CR 81 <br />__. _________ <br />H 67 CR81 <br /> CR 81 <br />~ , <br />~ ~ <br />sH ~7 <br />Legend N <br /> <br />X70C QOC) = ADT; All Traffic-vpd (Truck ADT; All Tnxksrv~ - W~E <br />700( QCX) = ADT; All NGne Tratrc-Wd (AQr; M9ne Trucl~-v{~ <br />' <br />700( ()O() = ADT; All Traifio-vpd (Truck ADT; All Tnxksirpd) ~ ~~~ ~ (~~ ?; ,. ~~ 'i S <br />o <br />z <br />a <br />s <br />. <br />7~ . <br />. <br />. <br />o <br />CR =County Road ~ ~ <br />~r'~~ <br />/ "VICCO,R. ;. ; i <br />SH =State Highway <br />Carlton Access <br />Figure 1-Existing Daily Traffic <br />Interstate Engineering, Inc. 4 April, 2008 <br />
