These activities will be sequenced in a manner <br /> to allow public travel through the area on other public roads in the immediate vicinity. <br /> At the New Horizon Mine 2, there was a single lane dirt road approximately 0.57 mile long <br /> which extended to the west of West 5th Avenue(see Map 2.05.3-1). This road was used by <br /> the City of Nucla for access to the city sewage lagoon and several residents who live along <br /> this road. These residences were relocated or alternative access was provided as required <br /> by the Montrose County Commissioners. The Montrose County Commissioners granted <br /> Western Fuels-Colorado permission to temporarily close this road during mining (see <br /> Attachment 2.05.3(3)-4, County Agreement).

On the basis of information submitted by The Colorado Historical Society in the form of a letter <br /> received Octobers 1. 199#, from Susan M.
