Section 780.111b) Continued. <br />Existing Water Supply Wells -Kerr currently owns and maintains two water supply <br />wells and the associated water rights, one in the mine area and one in the loadout <br />area. These wells will be retained as a water supply source in conjunction with the <br />proposed postmining land use to provide water for stock watering, limited irrigation, <br />and other grazing-related uses, as required. <br />Light-Use Access Road (Loadout Areal - An existing road, which is partially paved and <br />partially gravel surfaced, was used by Kerr as a haul road to connect the Kerr Loadout <br />with the nearby County road. Given that future beneficial use of the reclaimed loadout <br />area is dependent on reasonable access, this road will be retained as a permanent <br />access road and will be redesignated as a light-use road. The road is currently <br />relatively narrow so no modification or narrowing of the road is proposed in <br />conjunction with the proposed postmining use. <br />I~ <br />Loadout Shop Building -The existing Loadout shop building is relatively small and <br />would be of value in conjunction with the postmining use as a storage building for <br />small equipment and supplies, particularly given the distance of the loadout area from <br />the mine area. As previously noted, a prospective buyer has requested that the <br />existing shop structures in the loadout area be retained in conjunction with his <br />proposed future use of the property. <br />Water and Air Pollution Control Facilities. <br />Water quality in the vicinity of the Permit Area is maintained by the series of <br />sedimentation ponds (described at "Impoundments" above) and through a number of <br />primary sediment control methods, such as contour furrowing, mulching, and the <br />placement of straw dikes, riprap, check dams, sediment filters, sediment traps, and <br />culverts. <br />TR-19 816-168b Revised 11(98 <br />
