RE: MR-25, MR-28, TR-15, Marr Mine, #C-80-006
Dear Mr. Patterson:
The Division has completed review of MR-25 (Reclassify haul roads
a-b to permamnent light use roads, MR-28 (Small Area Exemption),
and TR-16 (Elimination of two road ditches and a drop structure)
for the Marr Mine, Permit #C-80-006. Our questions or comments are
as follows:
MR-25 (ROADS)
1. Based on our phone conversation, the Division understands the
proposed light use road bed width to be approximately 20 feet
in its final configuration. It is also our understanding that
these light use roads are to remain as permanent. Therefore,
we are proposing to approve this revision with the following
condition:
WITHIN 30 DAYS OF APPROVAL OF MR-25, KERB COAL COMPANY WILL
SUBMIT TEXT PAGF, 816-175R CLARIFYING THAT MAP 29 DEPICTS
TIPPLE AREA HAUL ROADS ONLY, AND THAT HAUL ROAD A AND HAUL
ROAD B WERE MODIFIED VIA MR-25 TO PERMANENT, LIGHT-USE ROADS
AS DEPICTED ON MAP 28A, MINE AREA EXISTING STRUCTURES. MAP
28A WILL ALSO BE SUBMITTED, CLEARLY LABELED TO SHOW THAT BOTH
PREVIOUS HAUL ROAD SEGMENTS ARE NOW PERMANENT, LIGHT-USE
ROADS. THE REVISION NUMBER SHOULD BE INCLUDED AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE TEXT PAGE. TEXT SHOULD BE ADDED TO PAGE 780-62 bb WHICH
DISCUSSES THE SEQUENCE OF RECLAMATION INCLUDING TOPSOILING OF
THE BUFFER ZONES AND DITCH AREAS ADJACENT TO THE 20 FOOT
LIGHT-USE ROAD CORRIDORS. TEXT SHOULD ALSO EXPLAIN THE SEEDING
OF THE CORRIDOR AREAS FOR THE PERIOD BETWEEN ROAD NARROWING
AND FINAL RECLAMATION.
