Restoration. Restoration tasks will be undertaken following the outline for the restoration <br />under haul road. <br />Light-Use Roads <br />At the New Horizon Mine, light-use roads will only be used on an intermittent basis for purposes <br />other than transportation of coal including, but not limited to, roads used for monitoring and <br />periodic maintenance of monitoring facilities and reclamation areas, intermittent equipment <br />passage from one mine area to another mine area, or other occasional use. <br />General Requirements. WFC will construct, maintain and reclaim light-use roads to minimize <br />erosion and siltation, air and water pollution and damage to public and private property. To the <br />extent possible, using the best technology currently available, light-use roads will not cause <br />damage to fish, wildlife, or related environmental values and will not cause additional <br />contributions of suspended solids to stream flow or to runoff outside the permit area. Any such <br />contribution shall not be in excess of limitations of State or Federal law. The locations of <br />proposed light-use roads are shown on Exhibit 2.05.3-1 and a typical cross section is shown on <br />• Exhibit 2.05.3-2. <br />The light-use roads at the mine site will be designed with appropriate ditches, grades, and <br />culverts to control erosion and runoff. All light-use roads will be constructed basically "on- <br />grade" and the location will be partially limited by the grades of the existing or postmining areas. <br />Stream fords will not be used during construction of roads unless approval is first obtained from <br />the regulatory authority. <br />Location WFC will locate light-use roads on ridges or on a stable slope in order to minimize <br />erosion. No part of any access road will be located in the channel of an ephemeral stream <br />where the upstream watershed is larger than one square mile and in intermittent or perennial <br />streams unless specifically approved by the CDMG. Stream fords of an ephemeral stream <br />when the upstream watershed is larger than one square mile and intermittent or perennial <br />stream will be approved by the CDMG before construction proceeds. All other stream <br />crossings will consist of culverts in flowing streams, consistently wet areas, and in ephemeral <br />channels as necessary to allow passage and to minimize disturbance of the hydrologic balance. <br />Light-use roads will utilize culverts designed to safely pass the 10-year, 24-hour precipitation <br />event. Ditches and drainage control will be established during construction and maintenance of <br />the roads to minimize erosion and to assist traffic passage. <br />(REVISED 72100) 2.05.3(3) -19 <br />
