1. The landowner has requested the retention of the first 6,300 feet of the access <br />road depicted on Map No. 26, which currently accesses the Fish Creek <br />Borehole facility. Retention of this road is compatible with the approved post <br />mining land use of pastureland, as it will allow the landowner access for <br />management activities. The Division has approved retention of the first 6,300 <br />feet from County Road No. 27 of this access road (4.03.2(1)(f)). <br />C. Light Use Roads <br />Light use roads are discussed on pages 2.05-74.2 to 2.05-74.3 of Volume I and <br />pages 2.05-13 to 2.05-14 of Volume II of the permit application. <br />1. A light use road and an approved permanent road will be utilized to access the <br />substation. The light use road will run 4,800 feet to the substation and will <br />follow an existing "fence" road. Access to the light use road and substation <br />will require the utilization of a permanent road approved by the Division on <br />February 3, 1988 (TR -87 of Permit No. C-1981-071). The light use road to <br />the borehole meter will be reclaimed following completion of the work <br />associated with this feature. One light use road exists at the Fish Creek Tipple <br />facility, which will be reclaimed. <br />The Foidel Creek permit is in compliance will all rules pertaining to haul roads, <br />access roads, and light use roads. <br />II. Support Facilities - Rule 4.04 <br />Support facilities are discussed on pages 2.05-17.1 to 2.05-65.5.6a of Volume I and is <br />also discussed on pages 2.05-4 to 2.05-6 of Volume lI, Maps 15 of Volume IX and <br />Maps 24 and 26 of Volume V-A. <br />The Division finds the support facilities in compliance with Rule 4.04. <br />III. Hydrologic Balance - Rule 4.05 <br />A. Water Quality Standards and Effluent Limitations <br />The Division proposes to grant small area exemptions from use of <br />sedimentation ponds due to the limited size of the areas and due to the fact that <br />ponds and treatment facilities are not necessary for the drainage to meet the <br />effluent limitations of Rule 4.05.2 and applicable State and Federal water <br />quality standards for receiving streams and also due to the fact that no mixing <br />of surface drainage with a discharge from underground workings will occur. <br />Discussions of the approved alternate sediment control locations are located <br />on pages 2.05-82 through 2.05-84.7 in the permit application. No new <br />alternative sediment control areas are proposed or approved with this permit <br />renewal. <br />Foidel Creek Mine 30 February 25, 2016 <br />
