(f) The access roads, after cessation of mining operations
will be left in place to be used as access to grazing
areas as stated in Section 2.05.5 Post Mining Land
Use.
(i) Colorado Westmoreland Inc., requested and the
Division subsequently approved the retention
of the access roads after revegetation. These
roads will be used in the post-mining land use
- rangeland access.
(a) The access roads were located on the most stable avail-
able slopes to minimize erosion using accepted engi-
neering practice. Refer to Maps 6A-2E, 8-1, 8A-10, 8A-
11, and 8A-12.
(b) No part of any access road is located in the channel of
an ephemeral stream draining more than one square mile,
intermittent or perennial stream.
(c) No fords were used in construction of the access roads.
Ail drainage structures for the access roads are cul-
verts.
(d) All road cuts and fill required for the construction of
the access roads have been revegetated as described in
Section 2.05.4 Reclamation Plan, General Requirements.
The drainage culverts have been designed to carry the
10-year, 24-hour storm. All have metal inlet struc-
tures and outlet aprons. These features have been de-
signed, constructed and maintained to minimize down-
stream sedimentation and flooding.
(e) No diversions of a stream channel are required for con-
struction of access roads.
(a) (i) The overall grade of the mine facilities ac-
cess road is approximately 10 percent. The
overall grade of the old waste storage access
road is approximately 1 percent. The overall
grade of the ponds 3 and 4 access road is ap-
proximately 2 percent. The overall grade of
the water storage north access road is approx-
imately 9 percent.
