Candace Thompson <br /> Hydrologist <br /> Mined Land Reclamation <br /> 1313 Sherman Street , Room 423 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> RE : Technical Revision Request For Light Use Road At The Sutey <br /> Refuse Disposal Area. <br /> Dear Ms . Thompson, <br /> Mid-Continent Resources hereby requests a Technical Revision to <br /> Permit #C-017-81 for the construction of a light use road at the <br /> Sutey Refuse Disposal Area (Figure 1 ) . This road is needed to <br /> allow access to the new conveyor construction area and the <br /> occasional monitoring of the completed conveyor. <br /> As will be noted on figure 1 the proposed location of the new <br /> road takes off from the switch-back of the existing road. The <br /> location of the new road will lie entirely within our permit <br /> boundary area. The overall grade will be 9 . 5% with a maximum <br /> pitch grade of 10% (Figure 2) . <br /> The length of the new road will be 1850 feet . Assuming an average <br /> road width of 15 ' , and an additional 15 ' for the cuts and fills , <br /> the total acreage of disturbance will be 1 . 27 acres . The ridge <br /> where the road is to be located is composed mainly of Mancos <br /> Shale with very little topsoil available. A conservative average <br /> depth of topsoil in this area is 6" . Therefore, 1030 yards of <br /> topsoil will be removed and stockpiled at the approved Sutey <br /> topsoil location . <br /> The construction sequence for this road will be as follows : <br /> 1 ) All topsoil will be removed and stockpiled. <br /> 2) A 24" diameter culvert will be placed at station 0+00 <br /> (junction of existing road and new road) . <br /> 3 ) Where cuts are in unconsolidated material the slope will <br /> be 1V: 1 . 5H. Cuts in Mancos Shale will be 1V: 0 . 25H. <br /> When operations cease, and final reclamation has begun, the road <br /> will be put back to its approximate original contour and <br /> reclaimed. The bonding calculations for this road are as follows : <br /> RECEIVED <br /> 14 AY 2 G 1988 <br /> MINED LAND <br />
