work, parking, storage or waste discharge areas; and areas in which structures, facilities,
equipment, machines, tools or other materials or property which result from or are used in
such operations are situated. All lands shall be excluded that would be otherwise included as
land affected but which have been reclaimed in accordance with an approved plan or
otherwise, as may be approved by the Board. Affected land shall not include off-site roads
which existed prior to the date on which notice was given or permit application was
made to the Office and which were constructed for purposes unrelated to the proposed
