8. Support Facilities and Utility Installations <br />All support facilities used in connection with the operation of the mine, including but not limited <br />to, mine buildings, equipment storage facilities, sheds, shops and other buildings will be <br />designed, constructed or reconstructed and located to minimize or control erosion and siltation, <br />water pollution and damage to public or private property. <br />Services which run through pass over, or under the permit area, consisting of power, sewage, <br />water, telephone lines and wells will be protected against damage or relocated to prevent or <br />minimize the disruption of service. <br />9. Irrigation System <br />An electric irrigation pump is located in Calamity Draw, near Pond 007. It pumps water into an <br />aluminum or PVC pipe system that distributes water to several side roll sprinkler systems. A <br />second irrigation pump station has been established along the north permit boundary to furnish <br />additional irrigation water to the irrigation system, see Map 2.05.3(3)-1 for locations. This <br />irrigation system will enhance the revegetation on the irrigated pastureland portion of the final <br />reclamation. <br />All information on topsoil and overburden stockpiles is given in Section 2.05.4. <br />10. Roads <br />A two track road and a section of the BB Detour road that provides access to the CCC Ditch <br />head gate will remain as a permanent feature and will not be reclaimed. The surface landowner's <br />letters approving retention of this road can be found in Attachment 2.05.3(3)-17. <br />S. Special Features <br />1. Pit Turn Slot Cut (January 2016 — No Longer Applicable) <br />A 115 feet wide slot cut is needed on the east side of 2700 Road as mining proceeds north to the <br />outcrop from the year 2000-2003. The west slope of the slot cut will be near vertical since it will <br />be a highwall. The east slope of the slot cut will be the angle of repose of the backfill, which is <br />approximately 40 degrees. The 115 feet wide distance is the opening at the bottom of the cut. <br />The slot will begin approximately 630 feet south of the intersection of BB Road and 2700 Road <br />and will extend about 920 feet north of the intersection. The total length of the slot cut is about <br />2330 feet. This open "turn" slot is necessary to allow for a safe truck -shovel working area and <br />for the overburden push dozer(s) to dump their spoil off the coal edge when the mining operation <br />Section 2.05.3(3) Page 38 September 2017 (TR -81) <br />
