,: 1 Chapter 2 Table 2-1 Design Criteria Topic Design Criteria for the Proposed Action 42. Drainage maintenance on roads will be critical for the duration of BMP use. Existing rolling dips shall be maintained and may need to be hardened. The USFS representative will inspect roads used for project activities to identify any additional drainage structures to be constructed prior to or during use. 43. MCC is responsible for using appropriate MUTCD traffic control Road Use devices when any heavy equipment is moved on Forest Roads. Permit (FSM 2733.04b and FSM 7730) 44.

MCC would be required to maintain stock ponds adjacent to project BMP roads to assure their continued effective use. This would involve pond clean out on an as-needed basis Roads in 48. Any approved road construction or reconstruction in Roadless that BMP, RACR Inventoried are excepted by RACR must be conducted in a manner that Roadless minimizes effects on surface resources, prevents unnecessary or unreasonable surface disturbance, and complies with all applicable lease requirements, land and resource management plan direction, regulation, and laws. 49. Roads constructed or reconstructed must be obliterated when no Road Use longer needed for the purposes of the lease or upon termination of Permit (FSM expiration of the lease, whichever is sooner. 2733.04b and FSM 7730) , RACR Staging Areas 50. Staging areas will be used in a manner to minimize damage to BMP vegetation. Any surface disturbances to these sites would be re- graded and seeded. 30 Deer Creek Ventilation Shaft and E Seam Methane Drainage Wells FEIS . • L`
