i3.7 TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES <br />Transportation facilities at the Trapper Mine consist of haul roads, access roads <br />and light -use roads. Some public roads are within the proposed permit area, but <br />these are not normally used by the mine operations (refer to Section 3.7.1). <br />Future facilities at the operation may include a rail spur and a conveyor system <br />for coal haulage. All Trapper Mine transportation facilities are designed, con- <br />structed and maintained in a manner consistent with our reclamation and safety <br />programs to minimize erosion, reduce impact on fish and wildlife and ensure the <br />stability of the facility in order to protect men and equipment. <br />Actual future road locations will vary somewhat from the precise location shown <br />on associated Trapper Mine road locations maps. Due to the requirements of <br />mining and field conditions, locations will be within 100 feet of the projected <br />locations. <br />3.7.1 Public Funded Roads <br />i <br />• There are public funded roads within the Trapper Mine proposed permit area. How- <br />ever, efforts have been made to permanently abandon the majority of these. Some <br />small public funded road sections are included within the proposed permit area. <br />One is a short section of road that provides access to a private road used by the <br />Trapper Mine personnel and others. This road is located near the northwest part <br />of the proposed permit area (refer to Map M7). Mining activities during the pro- <br />posed permit life will not occur within 100 feet of this road. Also there is a <br />fence and gates between the public road and the mining operations. Another short <br />section of a public funded road exists at the south part of the proposed permit <br />area (refer to Map M7). This road meanders for a few hundred feet on the permit <br />area. To the north the road has been abandoned permanently. However, the short <br />meandering section was not abandoned in order to allow access for a local rancher <br />to cross the draw located near there. Mining operations will not be conducted <br />within 100 feet of the right-of-way of this. road. A letter from Moffat County to <br />3-159 <br />REVISED AUG 19'87 <br />
