the cut of the hillside and buried in the same grading operation. This, too, will save <br /> substantial trucking costs. <br /> Roads <br /> We proposed a revised plar for reclamation of the mine haul roads which would entail <br /> grading the road surfaces to achieve an outsloping effect, with material excavated from <br /> the roadbed to be placed against the cut of the roadbed. Cross drainage would be <br /> created by a series of dips to be graded into the roadbed. <br /> The current plan calls for transporting substantial amounts of material to be placed <br /> against the inside cut along the length of the roads.3 The revised plan we've proposed <br /> eliminates the backfill. <br /> Another issue related to reclamation of the roads is removal of culverts. There are 70+ <br /> culverts along the hauls roads. Some of these culverts are buried at considerable <br /> depth beneath the road, while others are fairly shallow. We proposed leaving them in <br /> plane, allowing them to fill in with dirt, and cutting off the ends. This would save <br /> considerable excavation.4 <br /> The Division will agree to most of this proposal, except that they want us to remove <br /> those culverts which are buried fairly close to the surface. <br /> Buildings <br /> We proposed retention of various buildings for post-mining uses. These included the <br /> new lamphouse at the tunnel yard, lamphouse at#5 mine, warehouse, vehicle repair <br /> shop, bath-house, and engineering office/ambulance garage, as well as parking areas, <br /> water system and some electric utilities. With the exception of the lamphouse at#5 <br /> mine, none of these would Ce schedule for removal for several years in any case. <br /> We also proposed leaving concrete pads in place. <br /> Tho Division will probably agree to our retaining some structures, but felt we were <br /> proposing too many. We indicated that a final decision would be based on further and <br /> more extensive planning. <br /> i ( They do no like the Idea of I eaving in place the concrete foundations and have not <br /> i <br /> agreed to this proposal. <br /> a The current bond assume the fallowing: <br /> Partial Backfill of Haul Roads 369,577 <br /> Backfill Light Uso Roads 4,498 <br /> 4 The bond calculations do not InGude a sum for removal of culverts <br /> 4 <br />
