• <br />2.05.3 <br />PR -12 <br />A ?PAov4Ll� <br />11116It0 <br />1) Haul Road - State Highway 133 to Portal Level <br />General <br />This haul road handles the small amount of the coal hauled from the site and <br />is approximately 9500 -feet long. Coal haul trucks enter the property and <br />proceed to the portal level. The trucks are loaded by a front end loader and <br />return to old State Highway 133. The drainage from the majority of this road <br />is routed to sediment Pond B and C. Alternative sediment control is utilized <br />for the first 100 to 150 feet of the haul road. The upper 2,500 feet of this <br />road will be utilized to haul coal from the B -Seam bench up to the D -Seam <br />bench. <br />The combination of paving, dust control, sediment control on the majority of <br />the road and utilization of alternative sediment control on the remainder of <br />the road will assure that erosion, siltation, pollution of air or water, and <br />damage to public property will be controlled. These controls will also assure <br />that no damage to fish and wildlife or other related environmental values will <br />occur. <br />This road is the main access to the mine facilities so employees, contractors, <br />vendors, supply vehicles and visitors will utilize this road. This road will also <br />be utilized to haul gob from the portal bench to the gob pile. The truck traffic <br />which will utilize this haul road segment will be 10 and 18 wheel trucks. This <br />road has two 12 -foot lanes with curve widening on curves with a radius of <br />less than 180 -feet. A 24 -foot wide paved road surface with curve widening <br />should be adequate for the intended traffic. <br />The majority of this road segment is designed at a 8% to 10% grade. To the <br />extent possible it is located along a ridge to provide the most stable <br />foundation possible. This haul road encroaches on ephemeral drainage C at <br />three separate locations. This ephemeral stream drains a watershed of less <br />than one-half square mile so the restrictions of rule 4.03.1(2)(b) do not apply. <br />Design and Construction <br />For the construction of all of the roads -on-site, all vegetation material -and <br />topsoil will be removed from the design road bed, shoulders, and surfaces <br />2.05-26- 02/10 <br />
