3.7 TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES <br />i <br />,•~` <br />Transportation facilities at the Trapper Mine consist of Haul roads, access roads <br />and light use roads. Some public roads are within the proposed permit area, but <br />these are not normally used by the mine operations (refer to Section 3.7.1). <br />Futuna facilities at the operation may include a rail spur and a conveyor system <br />for coal haulage. All Trapper Mine transportation facilities are designed, con- <br />structed and maintained in a manner consistent with our reclamation and safety <br />programs to minimize erosion, reduce impact on fish and wildlife and ensure the <br />stability of the facility in order to protect men and equipment. <br />Actual future road locations will vary somewhat from the precise location shown <br />on associated Trapper Mine road locations maps. Due to the requirements of <br />mining and field conditions, locations will be within 100 feet of the projected <br />locations. <br />3.7.1 Public Funded Roads <br />i <br />• There are public funded roads within [he Trapper Mine proposed permit area. How- <br />ever, efforts have been made [o perm anen[Ly abandon the majority of these. Soma <br />small public funded road sections are included within [he proposad permit area. <br />One is a short section of toad that provides access to a private road used by the <br />Trapper Ptine personnel and others. This road is Located near the northwest part <br />of [he proposed permit area (refer to Map M7). Mining activities during the pro- <br />posed permit life will not occur within 100 feet of this road. Also there is a <br />fence and gates between the public road and the mining operations. Another short <br />section of a public funded road exists at the south par[ of the proposed petmit <br />area (refer to Map M7). This road meanders for a few hundred fact on the permit <br />area. To the north the road has been abandoned permanently. However, the short <br />meandering section was not abandoned in order [o allow access for a local rancher <br />to cross the draw located near there. Mining operations will not be conducted <br />within 100 Eee[ of the right-of-way of [hi s. road. A letter from Moffat County to <br />'~ 3-159 <br />REVISED AUG 19 '87 <br />
