<br />TABLE 2.05.6-2 <br />LORENCITO CANYON MINE <br />HAUL ROAD SEGMENTS <br /> Approximate Haul TruckRound <br /> Haul Truck Round Trips/Day 'Trips/Hour <br />Jeff Canyon Surface Mine to 200 IO <br />Loadout <br />Lorencito Canyon Surface Mine to 120 6 <br />Loadout <br />Note: Based on 100,000 Tons per month, l5 tons per load (will be variable), 20 operating hours per day, 255 <br />operating days per year. <br />In addition to haul truck traffic, seven support vehicles will utilize the haul roads on a daily basis <br />throughout the life of the mine. In addition to displacing wildlife, haul roads may increase the <br />potential for wildlife/vehicle conditions. Haul truck traffic would have greatest potential for <br />collisions at dawn and dusk. Generally, wildlife movements are greatest during the early morning <br />and early evening hours as animals move from resting areas to foraging areas. <br />• Disturbanct.s also would occur near fourteen identified raptor nests. However, mining activities <br />are not anticipated to physically remove any of these nests. During the 1996 field season, none <br />of the nests were active. If any nest is active prior to mining activities in the area or would be <br />removed by mining, Lorencito Coal Company would contact the USFWS prior to disturbance near <br />the nest. All nest sites or suitable nesting habitat would be available to raptors upon completion <br />of mining activities. <br />• <br />~~-o I <br />2.05-81 (revised 07/25/01) <br />
