Reclamation Plan Supplement <br /> Roads <br /> I. Road Reclamation <br /> The concept to be applied for reclamation of roads, including former haul roads, access <br /> and light use roads, is: <br /> The objectives will be, to the extent possible, to restore natural drainage patterns <br /> and diffuse flows over the road system. The objective of road reclamation will be <br /> restoration of natural drainage patterns. <br /> Culverts will be removed or otherwise disengaged during the next several years <br /> unless required to maintain access for necessary maintenance, reclamation and <br /> monitoring. Ditches will be filled in. <br /> The crest of the fill slope will be reduced, and material thus excavated will be <br /> placed against the toe of the cut, utilized to fill in the inside ditch. In this way, the <br /> base of the cut will be moderated and stabilized, and the road narrowed. <br /> Drainage on the road system will be directed by means of rolled dips, swa/es, <br /> water bars. Rock rip/rap may be used, where necessary, to stabilize dips and <br /> swa/es. In some cases, depending upon ground conditions, the road may be <br /> gently outsloped as a means of flow diffusion. <br /> However, well vegetated cut and fill slopes which appear stable will not be <br /> disturbed. <br /> The remaining road surfaces will be ripped and seeded, and cut and fill slopes <br /> will be seeded and mulched. The exception(s) would be road surfaces or cut <br /> slopes in rock which will not support vegetation, or areas previously vegetated <br /> which do not require further seeding. Seeding will be done in late fall. <br /> Timber slash may be used to stabilize seeded slopes, and otherwise may be <br /> employed in erosion gullies. <br /> A road log detailing the specific steps to be taken for each segment of the road <br /> system will be submitted to the Division for approval prior to implementation; <br /> changes to the road log will be only as approved by the Division. <br /> Vol. 10 07/18/93 <br /> Chapter 1(S) First Supplement <br /> 1 <br />
