2.05.3(3)(c) <br />• The alignment and grade of the haul road is shown on The <br />Haul Road, Plan & Profile, Drawing Nos. 121, 122 & 124. The <br />maximum pitch grade is 10%. Only one area of the road requires <br />any significant cut and fill work. This area is between mining <br />Area No. 1 and No. 2 in the low point where the culvert will be <br />required. Three to four feet of excavation will be performed on <br />each side of this low point to reduce the grades on both sides <br />and provide fill material for the culvert placement. In these <br />areas the topsoil stripping width will be increased to 60 feet. <br />• <br />To provide erosion control, the borrow ditches and <br />cut and fill slopes will be seeded. The seed mix used will be <br />that used to stabilize the topsoil stockpiles or other appropri- <br />ate seed mix approved by the Division. Broadcast seeding will be <br />used. <br />The layout of the haul road is such that the <br />relief from one side to the other is no more that two feet. In <br />most cases the haul road will be constructed on level ground. <br />The difference in elevation from side to side will be made up for <br />during the excavation of the borrow ditches. The stability of <br />the road is not considered an issue. There is simply no poten- <br />tial failure zone in the road embankment. <br />The two "haul road" sections will be constructed <br />in accordance with the performance standards under Rule <br />4.03.1(3). <br />As the mine advances to the south, the haul road <br />to the north will temporarily obliterated. As the pits advance <br />though the haul road, it will be temporarily be routed around the <br />active mining pits. As the spoil ridges are regraded, the road <br />will be reestablished. <br />.Access Roads <br />Seven separate access roads will be constructed <br />within the permit area. All of the access roads will be con- <br />structed within the sedimentation control system so potential <br />damage to fish, wildlife, and related environmental values is not <br />an issue. Since all the access roads are to be constructed <br />within the disturbed area then the design and construction per- <br />formance standards under Rule 4.03.2(3) are not applicable. <br />The seven acpes5roads are identified as follows: <br />• 2.05-7 July 1991 <br />
