The typical width for haul roads is between 20 -24 feet. The constructed width of the <br />haul road to gob pile #3 is 30 feet. The bridge over the Fire Mountain Canal narrows <br />the road surface to about 20 feet. MSHA safety berms will be added if required. The <br />haul road was constructed during October and November 2012. <br />Cut and fill slopes conform to the requirements of Rule 4.03.1(3)(d)(i) and <br />4.03.1(3)(e)(ix). The grade of the haul road meets the requirements of Rule <br />4.03.1(3)(a). About 73 feet of this road segment exceeds 10% grade (Station 4 +47 to <br />5 +20). There is no place on this road that exceeds a pitch grade of 15% and the overall <br />road grade is less than 10 %. <br />The anticipated traffic on the haul road is either 10 wheel dump trucks or —25 ton haul <br />trucks. At full permitted production 10 wheel dump trucks would make 37 round trips <br />per hour and 25 ton haul trucks would make 16 round trips per hour. The speed on the <br />road will be less than 30 mph. The 30 foot wide haul road is considered appropriate <br />for the anticipated volume of traffic and weight and speed of the haul trucks. The 10 <br />wheel dump trucks make significantly more trips than the 25 ton haul trucks. However, <br />10 wheel dump trucks are less than eight feet wide so passing on the 30 foot wide haul <br />road will not be a problem. <br />To the best of my knowledge and belief, the gob pile haul road was constructed as <br />designed and in accordance with the approved plan and the regulations.
