DEMONSTRATE CONFORMANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE <br /> 4 . 03 . 2 (7) . <br /> Stipulation No . 9 requires the operator to post and maintain <br /> steep slope signs and submit a geotechnical stability analysis <br /> for the access road two months prior to abandonment. EFCI has <br /> posted the signs along the road and committed to providing a <br /> stability analysis of the road prior to abandoning the site <br /> (see page 2 . 05 .3-42R of the permit application) . In addition, <br /> EFCI proposes to retain the access road once a letter from the <br /> landowner, the Vento Trust can be obtained. <br /> Configuration for the access road can be found on Figure 23 , <br /> Volume 1, Section 4 . 03 of the permit application. Detailed <br /> design information for the access road ditch and culvert can <br /> be found in Exhibit 19, "Drainage and Sediment Control Plan" . <br /> Maintenance of the road is achieved by grading and occasional <br /> resurfacing with 3/4" gravel 4-6" thick to provide a smooth, <br /> reliable operating surface. Surfacing materials do not <br /> contain toxic or acid-forming components . <br /> Light Use Roads: Rule 4.03.3 <br /> Light use roads are to and from the south mine fan, the <br /> substation, explosives bunker and north dewatering well . <br /> All light use roads are shown on Map 17, "Mine Plan Map" , Map <br /> 18, "Mine Surface Facilities" and Map 19 , "Access and Light <br /> Use Roads" . No light use roads have been located near steep, <br /> wet or unstable terrain, and no roads cross channels of <br /> intermittent or ephemeral streams . Most of the roads on site <br /> are existing ranch roads, which are utilized by the mine on a <br /> limited basis and for landowner access . Topsoil was not <br /> salvaged for the most part . Reclamation of the roads, if not <br /> kept in place by landowner requests, will be the following: <br /> roads will be ripped and scarified and slopes blended, natural <br /> drainage will be re-established, areas disturbed will be <br /> topsoiled and re-vegetated if and where possible. <br /> II .
