Pond 011 was reclaimed in Fall 2015. Pond 014 was constructed in Spring 2004 and reclaimed in <br />Fall 2009. Pond 015 was constructed in 2011. Finally, Ponds 016 and 018 were constructed in <br />late 2016. Accordingly, the values for Ponds 008, 009, 012, 013, 015, 016, and 018 are as -built. <br />All ponds except for Pond 018 will utilize a key cut into the dam and anti -seep collars on the <br />principal spillway pipe as shown on the map. All dams will have a minimum combined slope of <br />5.OH:I.OV, with the exception of Pond 015, which was excavated near solid rock and the <br />embankment side is steeper than 5H:1 V. <br />H. Small Area Exemptions <br />One Small Area Exemption exists in the permit area. The designs for this exemption are shown <br />in Attachment 2.05.3(3)-7 Small Area Exemptions. <br />I. Discharge Structures <br />Discharge from the sedimentation pond, diversions and pit dewatering will be controlled by <br />riprap channels and other means or devices where necessary to reduce erosion, to prevent <br />deepening or enlargement of stream channels and to minimize disturbance of the hydrologic <br />balance. Discharge structures will be designed according to standard engineering design <br />procedures. <br />J. Transportation Facilities (January 2016 - No Longer Applicable) <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 2.05.3(3)- <br />8 additionally shows typical construction cross sections of the haulage roads and shows a table <br />which details the widths of the haulage roads. The Northeast Perimeter Haul Road is as built; the <br />other 2 haul roads are designed widths which will be constructed as mining progresses west of <br />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 />Section 2.05.3(3) Page 17 April 2017 (MR -104) <br />
