I. Discharge Structures <br />Discharge from the sedimentation pond, diversions and pit dewatering will be controlled by <br />energy dissipaters, riprap channels, and other means or devices, where necessary, to reduce <br />erosion, to prevent deepening or enlargement of stream channels, and to minimize disturbance of <br />the hydrologic balance. Discharge structures will be designed according to standard engineering <br />design procedures. <br />I Transportation Facilities <br />1. Haul Roads <br />The following describes the design and construction of haul roads at the New Horizon Mine. <br />There will be three separate haul roads which will be utilized throughout the mining of the New <br />Horizon Mine. Please see Map 2.05.3(3)-8 for full detail on the road alignment and profiles for <br />all haulage roads. The names of the four haulage roads which will be utilized can be seen as <br />Northeast Perimeter Haul Road, Southwest Haul Road, and BB West Haul Road. Map <br />2.05.3(3)-8 additionally shows typical construction cross sections of the haulage roads and shows <br />a table which details the widths of the haulage roads. The Northeast Perimeter Haul Road is as <br />built; the other 2 haul roads are designed widths which will be constructed as mining progresses <br />west of 2700 Road. <br />The Southwest Haul Road and BB West Haul Road are haul roads within the disturbed area and <br />for this reason do not need to meet the design criteria of Rule 4.03.1(3). Nevertheless, these <br />roads meet the criteria for grades, compaction, drainage, etc. All haul roads at the site are nearly <br />flat in grade and have minimal fills (less than 2 feet high) and basically no cuts. <br />2. General Requirements <br />WFC will construct, maintain and reclaim haul roads to minimize erosion and siltation, air <br />and water pollution and damage to public and private property. To the extent possible, using the <br />best technology currently available, haul roads will not cause damage to fish, wildlife, or related <br />environmental values and will not cause additional contributions of suspended solids to stream <br />flow or to runoff outside the permit area. <br />3. Location <br />At the New Horizon 2 area, haul roads will be constructed on lands proposed to be disturbed by <br />mining and reclamation operations. <br />Page 2.05.3(3)-20 October 2015 (TR -69) <br />
