I have reviewed the surface water hydrology portion of TR-14 as
part of the Division's preliminary adequacy review for TR-14. The
following concerns were generated:
SMALL AREA EXEMPTIONS:
2 West Portals - North Portal and South Portal
In a conversation with Larry Reschke on October 29, 1992, we
discussed with the operator the Division's opinion that a small
area exemption is not needed for the turn-around areas in front of
the two portals. we view that activity as normal activity
associated with an access road. In addition, the Division is
concerned that maintaining a one foot berm across the road with
traffic will become a maintenance concern in the future. For these
reasons, we would like to ask the operator to consider the
following approach:
1. Please ask the operator to drop the two portal-related
small area exemptions from the revision, including
language referring to flows being directed into the
portals.
2. Please ask the operator to substitute a berm or high area
in front of each portal to insure that surface flows do
not reach the portals. The height of these structures
should be stated in the permit and maintained until the
portals are reclaimed.
3. Please ask the operator to consider the use of gravel at
turn-around points in order to protect the resource.
