103 06/2024 Roads A private paved access road from the north end of Weld County Road #59 to the mine site is currently maintained and used by CEC. Snow fences have also been established along this road. While CEC has a Minor Revision in place to apply sand or coal slack on this road under severe winter driving conditions, the need to do so has not arisen over the past few years. If this should change the Division will be notified. All CEC roads within the permit boundary area, with the exception of the main access road and areas around the maintenance facility have been fully reclaimed. The post-mining land use for the private paved access road is Industrial/Commercial. When the Keenesburg Mine is closed, the other users will continue to use this road for access to their businesses. There will be no further reclamation activities required to release this road from reclamation liability and bond. Operations Areas A tabulation of the calculated existing topsand amounts for all stockpiles is noted as follows: A1, B1 O BCY A3, B2 O BCY O BCY * cubic yards in-place The Dugout Pond, perimeter ditches and Sediment Pond 2, however, will remain as permanent site features.
