The actual location of any haul road may vary over time as a function of the mining plan. <br />The haul road segments will accommodate the haulage, loading, and support traffic on <br />the site. Haul roads are designed to allow two -way traffic of large haul trucks. Axle -high <br />safety berms will be provided, as required by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, <br />along each side of the road. Where necessary, such berms also are formed along the <br />centerline. The total road width is normally about 100 feet, and the net lane width is <br />often about 36 feet. The berms will contain openings, as necessary, to allow flow of <br />storm water runoff from the road surface to ditches and other storm water management <br />features. <br />The haul road alignments may follow the topographic ridges or run along or across <br />contours on hillsides. In the mine areas, bedrock is at or near the surface and site <br />preparation will, in general, be limited to growth medium removal and stockpiling with <br />limited cut -and -fill. Foundation preparation for fill placement will be minimal, except as <br />required in specific instances such as culvert locations. In general, soils will be removed <br />to expose a competent, stable material that will be cut to provide fill, as needed. Where <br />the soil layer is sufficiently thick to make the material available for salvage (greater than <br />six inches over a greater than one acre area) and where it lays on topography and <br />subsurface material that allows simple mechanical recovery, it will be stockpiled for <br />assisting with reclamation. Overburden material may be used for road fill as well as local <br />materials derived from the cut. <br />Fill slopes for the haul roads generally will be constructed at the angle -of- repose of the <br />fill material. In areas of culvert installations, fill placement will be conducted in a <br />manner that maintains the integrity and function of the culvert. <br />During operations, haul road dust will be suppressed using the current methodologies. <br />CC &V is using water for dust suppression on short-term roads and may use magnesium <br />chloride or other suitable dust suppressants for roads in place for prolonged periods. The <br />water used in dust control will be supplied from the main water storage tank unless <br />another supply becomes available. <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company <br />Cresson Project Mine Life Extension 2 <br />5 -25 <br />
