Accesses via F New mining activitiy. All structures have been removed by the miners. poor poor Burnt Lode/ G mine access road poor s will be waterbarred and rocked (p. 6) Dominion E some erosion evident. A washout is the closure device at MP 1.0. Growing over. E Some drain problems. Wet crossings, springs etc. At stream crossing At stream crossing Haul on Forest s and 19 will be under dry or frozen conditions (p. 4). Access routes (cross country) are designed so that a minimum of ground disturbance takes place. No off road-road drilling will take place during wet weather. Forest roads and access routes will be maintained to assure adequate (p. 4). s will be waterbarred where necessary. Maintenance will be done on an annual basis (p. 6).
