RULE 4 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> maintenance, groundwater monitor well access, meteorological/air monitoring station access, etc. <br /> Examples of such light use roads include,but are not limited to,roads to the West Pit, East Taylor, <br /> - and Prospect Ponds, access to the south collection ditch, etc. <br /> A light-use road will be used to facilitate shorter equipment movements to additional areas of the <br /> northern end of the mine. This light-use road begins south of the fuel storage tanks and <br /> continues in a northwest direction towards the main coal haulage road with an approximate width <br /> of 30 feet and a length of approximately 1200 feet. It enters the main coal haulage road just <br /> below the traffic pattern crossover. Topsoil was stripped in accordance with Rule 4.06.2 and <br /> placed on topsoil pile 15A directly to the west of the road. Maintenance will include maintaining <br /> natural drainage across the roadway and maintenance of a swale on the northern portion of the <br /> road which will transfer runoff to the existing ditch. Reclamation of this light-use road will be <br /> completed immediately after the road is no longer needed for operations and will be reclaimed in <br /> accordance with Rule 4.03.3(7). The road was field designed in accordance with Rule 4.03.3. <br /> 4.04 SUPPORT FACILITIES <br /> The support facilities used at the mining operation, including the office, shop and warehouse <br /> complex,the coal handling and loadout facilities are shown on the Existing Structures-North Map <br /> (Map 21) and the Existing Structures - South Map (Map 22). Many of the support structures were <br /> constructed at the mine start-up in 1976-1977. The complete discussion on all the support facilities <br /> is found under Section 2.05.3. Detailed drainage and sediment control has been developed for the <br /> mining operation as discussed in Section 2.05.3. All sediment control measures have been <br /> designed to prevent damage to wildlife and other related environmental values; also, sediment <br /> control structures have been designed to prevent contributions of suspended solids to runoff <br /> outside the permit area in excess of the limitations of both federal and state law. <br /> There are no operating oil or gas wells at or around the planned mine; likewise, there is no coal <br /> slurry pipeline planned or around the mining area. The only operating railroad in the vicinity of <br /> the mine is the Colowyo spur line that serves the operation. All White River Electric power lines <br /> are located out of the actual mining area. Colorado-Ute Electric Association has a power line in <br /> the path of future mining. Portions of this line will be relocated as required. The Mountain Bell <br /> telephone lines are located at a distance from the actual mining areas. All water and sewer lines <br /> located in the permit area serve the Colowyo structures and are located away from the actual <br /> mining areas. <br /> Rule 4 Performance Standards 4-6 Revision Date: 12/20/19 <br /> Revision No.: TR-135 <br />
