12.4.5 Haul Roads <br />Haul road reclamation will occur in the same manner as previously approved for haul <br />roads in MLE. At the conclusion of mining activities, haul roads designated for closure <br />will be regraded to blend with the surrounding terrain. Fill material will be pulled onto <br />the road surface, where possible and the remaining road surfaces will be ripped. Cut <br />slopes will be reduced or filled with material, where appropriate, to achieve the desired <br />configuration. As appropriate on a site - specific basis, culverts may be removed or <br />retained, with proper drainage accommodated in the field. Soil typically is part of the fill <br />materials that are pulled onto the road surface or will be retrieved if in close proximity to <br />the road to assist with the reclamation effort. <br />The reclamation plan calls for reclaiming the haul roads outside the limits of the mine <br />areas and OSAs. In consultation with appropriate representatives of Teller County, <br />CC &V may later propose to retain and utilize some of the existing road corridors to <br />provide light - vehicle access to the reclaimed Cresson Project. However, it is not possible <br />to specify those potential routes at the present time. <br />12.4.6 Ancillary Support Facilities <br />Ancillary support facilities, including the crusher facilities and associated structures, the <br />High Grade Mill facilities, both ADR facilities, the fire assay laboratory, the overland <br />conveyor and LOB, the Ironclad facilities (maintenance- warehouse - office), and the <br />associated utilities, monitoring systems, the Projects Offices facilities, fuel island, radio <br />towers, all associated tanks, pipelines and other structures and all mobile equipment will <br />be removed or reclaimed in the same manner as previously approved. In consultation <br />with appropriate representatives of Teller County, CC &V may later propose to retain and <br />utilize some of the existing facilities; however, it is not possible to specify which of those <br />existing facilities could remain at the present time. <br />Once mining operations have ceased, portable equipment within the processing areas will <br />be removed. Buildings and foundations either will be demolished and removed from the <br />site or buried in place to a depth that will allow for reclamation procedures as discussed <br />in Section 12.3. The areas of land disturbed by these activities will be regraded, covered <br />with suitable growth medium (to an average depth of approximately six inches when <br />material is available), and reclaimed. <br />Chemicals and reagents will be removed, along with empty containers and disposed of <br />appropriately at off -site facilities. <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company <br />Cresson Project Mine Life Extension 2 <br />12 -17 <br />
