Part B - Findings required by Rule 4

The following findings and specific approvals are required by Rule 4.

I. Roads - Rule 4.03

A. Haul Roads

Haul roads are discussed on pages 2.05-66 to 2.05-70, pages 2.05-72 to 2.05-72.2
of Volume I and pages 2.05-8 to 2.05-12 of Volume VII of the permit application.

1. The Division has previously approved the location of a portion of haulroad C
in the channel of Foidel Creek, which drains a watershed of at least one
square mile, as depicted on Map No. 24, Surface Facilities and Freshwater
Systems. Haulroad C passes over Foidel Creek in two places and the flow is
diverted under the haul road by the use of culverts (4.03.1(2)(b)).

B. Access Roads

Access roads are discussed on pages 2.05-73 to 2.05-74.1 of Volume I, Figure 22
of Volume III, and pages 2.05-12 to 2.05-13 of Volume VII of the permit
application.

1.The landowner has requested the retention of the first 6,300 feet of the access
road depicted on Map No. 26, which currently accesses the Fish Creek
Borehole facility. Retention of this road is compatible with the approved post
mining land use of pastureland, as it will allow the landowner access for
management activities. The Division has approved retention of the first 6,300
feet from County Road No. 27 of this access road (4.03.2(1)(f)).

C. Light Use Roads

Light use roads are discussed on pages 2.05-74.2 to 2.05-74.3 of Volume I and
pages 2.05-13 to 2.05-14 of Volume II of the permit application.

1.A light use road and an approved permanent road will be utilized to access the
substation. The light use road will run 4,800 feet to the substation and will
follow an existing “fence” road. Access to the light use road and substation
will require the utilization of a permanent road approved by the Division on
February 3, 1988 (TR-87 of Permit No. C-1981-071). The light use road to
the borehole meter will be reclaimed following completion of the work
associated with this feature. One light use road exists at the Fish Creek Tipple
facility, which will be reclaimed.

The Foidel Creek permit is in compliance will all rules pertaining to haul roads,
access roads, and light use roads.
