Environmental Assessment residences and realignment by Wiltse's Barn and other constrained areas. The area known as the Narrows between King I and King II will be widened and regraded to improve line of sight and safe travel. ■ Concurrent with Phase 1 road improvements, install automated, flashing warning lights and safety signage at locations known as the Narrows and Wiltse's Barn to increase driver awareness of truck traffic. ■ Hauling is suspended on Sundays to provide a day of respite for the residential uses along the chosen haul route. ■ The maximum number of outgoing haul trucks in a single-day is not to exceed 20 percent above the monthly average (e.g., 80*20%=96, 100*20%= 120, 120*20%= 144). This creates a cap on the degree to which truck traffic can peak on any given day. ■ To minimize night-time hauling and associated safety(and noise) impacts, a maximum of 20 percent total haul trucks to run between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. the next morning. ■ To increase road safety and reduce dust,a speed limit for semi-trucks is 25 mph on gravel, 5 mph under posted limits on pavement. GCC is committed to ensuring that all contracted truck hauling businesses and drivers are aware of and adhere to said prohibition. ■ To increase road safety, coal hauling trucks are prohibited from stopping or parking within the ROW along CR 120 or any other CR. Except in unforeseen circumstances or cases of emergency, the installation or removal of tire chains is not permitted anywhere within the CR 120 ROW. GCC shall be responsible for ensuring that all contracted truck hauling businesses and drivers are aware of and adhere to said prohibitions. ■ To increase road safety, GCC shall ensure that no trucks haul coal from the King II Coal Mine anytime the permittee or the LPC Public Works Director, or his/her designee, determines that road conditions are,or will be in the near future, substandard for any reason such that continued coal hauling could create an unsafe condition for the traveling public;the permittee may resume allowing trucks to continue hauling coal from the King II Coal Mine only after the LPC Public Works Director,or his/her designee,verifies orally or in writing that it is safe to resume hauling operations. ■ GCC shall require all coal haul trucks and trailers to have easily identifiable vehicle numbers to aid in reporting truck issues. GCC shall have a direct dial phone number(currently 970-247- 7934)for the public to relay such information to GCC. GCC shall keep a log of truck transports and reports of truck issues for the purposes of addressing unsafe driving behavior. GCC shall be responsible for ensuring that all contracted truck hauling businesses and drivers are aware of and adhere to said condition. Upon receipt of a complaint, GCC shall investigate and take action to remedy any unsafe driving behavior. ■ Should GCC seek increased transportation of coal trucks beyond the maximum number per day on CR 120, GCC shall apply for a major amendment to this Class 11 land use permit in accordance with the standards and process dictated by the applicable provisions of the LPC Code.
