These should beclearly demarcated, and adhered to during construction and operations.‣ Prohibit off-road driving.‣ Ensure roads have acceptable surfaces, are free from erosion, and haveeffective, natural drainage.‣ Maintain access roads in a good condition by implementing suitable trackmaintenance schedules.‣ During road maintenance, use only material from nearby existing borrow pits,processed plant tailings or beach material as surfacing material.
