Properties Company traded the old easement fora 40' easement along the <br />road's present location. The easement was granted for the purpose of <br />establishing access to public lands to the south and west of the permit area. The <br />road is maintained by the mine operator only up to the Cameo Borrow Area #2. <br />Beyond that point no maintenance is performed. Additional portions of this road <br />will be upgraded from the borrow area to the CRDA No. 3 when needed. This <br />Haul Road to CRDA No. 3 is shown on Exhibit No. 52. The Operator does not <br />plan to construct CRDA-3 at this time since the mine is idle and is not expected <br />to operate in the foreseeable future. <br />Access road #1A will be used after reclamation to access the Portal Bench at the <br />Roadside South Portal area. The road will be constructed in conformance with <br />the design and construction requirements of 4.03.2(3), which apply to "roads not <br />within the disturbed area". These criteria apply because the road is a permanent <br />road that will remain in place following sediment pond removal. The following <br />embankment specification applies to the road. <br />In the placement of embankment for the access road, materials will be spread in <br />layers approximately 12 inches deep, and such lifts made uniformly over long <br />stretches and .for the full width of the embankment. Each lift will be moistened or <br />dried to a uniform moisture content suitable for maximum compaction. Hauling <br />equipment will be routed both ways over the fill and routing varied sufficiently to <br />achieve uniform compaction. Compaction will be carried to the edge of fills so <br />that the final slopes are firm. A sheepsfoot roller or other suitable equipment <br />may be required to achieve compaction. Compaction testing will be performed <br />every 4 feet and will continue until the unit dry weight reaches a value not less <br />than 90% of maximum unit dry weight attained in laboratory compaction test in <br />accordance with the specifications of ASTM D 698, Method D. <br />During the construction of refuse piles, temporary roads will be established as <br />necessary within the proposed disturbance area to facilitate the placement of <br />waste material. A road will commonly be installed up the face of each pile. The <br />road on the face will have a grade of 8-10% and a width of 30' including a berm <br />and ditch. These roads may be constructed with refuse material. The projected <br />location of roads on CRDA Nos. 2 and 3 are shown on Exhibits 51 and 52. <br />Access Road #4 will be used to access CRDA No. 1 with cover material.
