The culvert at the first creek crossing will need to be banded to the downstream end of an existing culvert measuring 36 inches in diameter by 20 feet in length. Riprap protection (6-inch median diameter non-acid forming, non-radioactive, durable rock riprap) will be constructed at the downstream end of the joined culvert at the first creek crossing and at both ends of the Sun Cup Mine creek crossing. Non-radioactive soil from the immediate vicinity will be placed at a depth of six inches (6 in.) inches beneath the newly installed culverts to protect them from punctures. Non-radioactive soil from the immediate vicinity will be placed and compacted over the newly installed culverts to increase the width of the road, mailto:Camille.price@state.co.us providing a driving surface capable of supporting the heavy equipment and material transport trucks to be utilized for this project. Culverts and roads constructed across them will be left in good condition and in functioning order at the completion of the project.

The access road will need to be graded and maintained throughout the project to provide a smooth drivable surface from the access gate to the Centennial Mine site, to facilitate worker traffic, equipment and material transport to the Centennial and Sun Cup Mines. Multiple rolling dips will require construction and maintenance to control drainage resulting from precipitation events, as directed by the PROJECT MANAGER. Rolling Dips will be located above and below each switchback, and at locations directed by PROJECT MANAGER. The road surface and rolling dips will be left in functioning order and good condition at the completion of the project.

TASK 5.2 MINE WASTE RELOCATION AT THE CENTENNIAL MINE

Mine waste relocation, site grading and drainage channel excavation shall be performed as shown on Drainage Channel Design for the Centennial Mine, to be provided at the pre-bid meeting, according to these Special Conditions, ATTACHMENT B - Technical Specifications and the 2009 General Bid Specifications.

Approximately 35,000 cubic yards of uranium waste rock material will be relocated to construct the drainage channel and create stable slopes no steeper than 3H:1V. Excavation of waste rock will be conducted to provide the finished channel profiles, elevations, grades, sinuosity, and construction of scour pools and sediment basins, as specified in the Drainage Channel Designs for the Centennial Mine.

Any non-radioactive topsoil exposed during mine waste excavation will be salvaged and stockpiled for use as plant growth medium, as directed by the PROJECT MANAGER.

The final one foot (1’) of subsurface mine waste fill material shall not be compacted. Final graded surfaces will be roughened with a track excavator so that storm-water or snow melt runoff is either contained or travels so slowly that sediment is not transported from the site, and water collects to promote plant growth, as specified in ATTACHMENT B - Technical Specifications. Surface roughening will occur prior to plant growth media placement in order to prevent burial of plant growth media.

Earthwork shall be conducted according to the Technical Specifications provided in ATTACHMENT B, as directed by PROJECT MANAGER.

Any visible dust production during site earthwork will be minimized by performing the work simultaneously with applying water by truck, or as directed by PROJECT MANAGER.

Measurement and Payment Measurement for payment for this TASK will be by the cubic yard of material placed per the project designs specified in this bid document. Volume of material placed will be determined from a pre-and post-construction aerial survey conducted by the OWNER at the site. The post-construction survey will be conducted after mine waste has been relocated, and before plant growth media is placed on the ground surface. This TASK shall include all costs for mine waste relocation, drainage channel excavation, site grading, surface roughening and dust control at the Centennial Mine, as shown in the Drainage Channel Designs for the Centennial Mine, and as specified in these Special Conditions, ATTACHMENT B - Technical Specifications, and the 2009 General Bid Specifications. Payment for this TASK will be for the amount bid in TASK 5.2 of the Bid Schedule.
