25 The applicant proposes to construct light-use roads along pipeline, transmission, and inspection corridors depicted in Volume V, figure 4.2-3. The applicant states in the application: "When the final designs and surveys are completed in line with the BLM requirements, Storm King Mines will indicate the proposed light use roads on Figures 4.2-3, 4.2-4 and 4.2-5 and will construct said roads in accordance with Section 4.03.3 complying with the location restrictions, grade, pitch, alignment, cuts, embankments, topsoil removal, revegetation cover, drainage, surfacing, maintenance and reclamation conditions enumerated therein." Since the applicant has not submitted a plan for these light-use roads, the Division cannot currently approve the portion of the proposed operation. The following information is necessary before the Division can approve this portion of the proposed operation: Requirement No. ]1 PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF ANY LIGHT-USE ROADS, THE APPLICANT MUST SUBMIT ANO RECEIVE, IN WRITING, DIVISION APPROVAL OF PLANS AND DESIGNS MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 4.03.3. In addition to the above-mentioned light-use roads, the applicant will use roads to ground water monitoring stations. The roads to these monitoring stations were constructed under an exploration plan approved by the Division. The Division requested in the preliminary adequacy review that these roads be shown on a map and the information required by Rule 4.03.3 be submitted. The applicant's response to this comment was insufficient; therefore, the following information is required before the Division can approve the permit application: Requirement No. 12 THE APPLICANT MUST SUBMIT A MAP SHOWING THE EXISTING LIGHT-USE ROADS USED TO ACCESS MONITORING FACILITIES. IN ADDITION, THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY RULE 4.03.3 MUST BE SUBMITTED. IF ANY OF THESE ROADS ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 4.03.3, A PLAN TO BRING THEM INTO COMPLIANCE MUST BE SUBMITTED.
