Design Criteria <br />Topic <br />Design Criteria for the Proposed Action <br />devices when any heavy equipment is moved on Forest Roads. <br />29. Traffic counters will be provided and installed by MCC, at <br />designated locations to record vehicle and ATV passes. The <br />counters will be monitored and data recorded on a monthly basis. <br />The counter totals will be submitted to the District Ranger <br />monthly in both tabular form and graph form. The USFS <br />Engineering Staff will provide specifications to MCC on <br />installation of the traffic counters. <br />30. Harassment of livestock is prohibited. While stock is in the <br />project area, extra precautions must be taken by MCC and their <br />contractors to ensure that stock are not pushed out of the currently <br />occupied grazing unit. <br />31. Livestock access will be maintained during active operations. <br />Cattleguards and access gates to the side of each cattleguard will <br />be installed in a timely fashion at any place where MCC uses or <br />builds roads as directed by the District Range Management <br />Specialist. Project personnel will cooperate with the grazing <br />permit holders to avoid or minimize conflicts with grazin g <br />operations. <br />32. MCC would be required to maintain stock ponds adjacent to <br />project roads to assure their continued effective use. This would <br />involve pond clean out on an as- needed basis <br />2733.04b and <br />FSM 7730) <br />Road Use <br />Permit (FSM <br />2733.04b and <br />FSM 7730) <br />BMP <br />BMP <br />BMP <br />Maintenance <br />33. Roads will be maintained with water bars and appropriate <br />sedimentation controls. Water bar placement and design will be <br />approved by the authorized FS Officer. <br />34. All use and maintenance of existing NFSRs will be authorized by <br />and be consistent with a FS Road Use Permit. A performance <br />bond will be required per the terms of the road use permit. <br />Road Use <br />Permit(FSM <br />2733.04b and <br />FSM 7730) , <br />BMP <br />FSM <br />2733.04b and <br />FSM 7730 <br />WATER RESOURCES <br />Ground Water <br />35. Any aquifers encountered in the shaft will be sealed by a gout <br />curtain wall extending 20 feet above and below aquifer. <br />36. Each drill or borehole, well, or other exposed underground <br />opening sealed, or otherwise managed to prevent acid or other <br />toxic drainage from entering ground or surface waters and <br />minimize disturbance to the prevailing hydrologic balance. <br />BMP <br />BMP <br />Water Quality <br />37. Material from slides or other sources on roads will not be <br />deposited in streams or other locations where it will wash into <br />streams. <br />WCPH (FSH <br />2509.25) , <br />Federal Coal <br />Lease <br />
