2. The Division approved the retention of a portion of the haul road depicted on Map <br />No. 18, since it is compatible with the approved post- mining land use, and a <br />request for its retention was submitted by the landowner (4.03. 1 (1)(f)(ii)). <br />3. The Division does not propose to approve the location of a portion of the haul road <br />in the channel of an ephemeral stream draining a watershed of at least 1 square <br />mile, an intermittent, or a perennial stream (4.03.1(2)(b)). <br />4. The Division approved haul road encroachment into an ephemeral stream with a <br />watershed less than one (1) square mile during the construction period, since it did <br />not alter normal water flow, contribute sediment, or adversely affect fish or <br />wildlife (4.03.1(2)(c)). <br />5. The Division does not propose to approve haul road cut slopes steeper than <br />1.5H: IV in unconsolidated materials or 0.25H: IV in rock (4.03.1(3)(d)(i)). <br />6. The Division does not propose to approve embankment slopes steeper than 2h:ly <br />(4.03.1(3)(e)(ix)). <br />7. The Division does not propose to approve the alteration or relocation of a natural <br />channel drainageway (4.03.1(4)(a)(i)). <br />8. The Division does not propose to approve the use of the alternative specifications <br />for the culverts or bridges (4.03.1(4)(e)(vi)). <br />B. Access Roads <br />One access road was built to provide access from the portal bench to the utility bench <br />above the portal bench. Several short length access roads were built that lead from <br />the main paved haul road to important points along the utility corridor, for access to <br />the conveyor line, water line and high voltage power line. There is also an access <br />road south of the unit train loadout. No access roads are proposed for construction <br />under this permit revision. <br />1. Alternative criteria and specifications were not used during the design of access <br />roads 4.03.2(1)(e)). <br />2. No landowner has requested the retention of the access road, therefore the <br />Division proposes to approve the current plan for reclamation of the access road <br />(4.03.2(1)(g)(ii)). <br />3. The Division does not propose to approve the location of a portion of any access <br />road in the channel of an ephemeral stream with a watershed of at least 1 square <br />mile, an intermittent, or a perennial stream (4.03.2(2)(b)). <br />4. There are no proposed fords of an ephemeral stream with a watershed of at least <br />one square mile or an intermittent stream (4.03.2(2)(c)). <br />5. The Division does not propose to approve of any cut slopes steeper than IV: 1.511 <br />Page 31 of 46 <br />
