With the exception of certain haul road segments which will be retained in reduced configuration for post-mining ranch roads, all roads will be reclaimed to AOC and revegetated. Those road segments which will be reduced to a 20 foot travel width to replace pre-existing ranch roads include the Mine Entrance Haul Road (IvIEHR), haul roads A and G and the first segment of Haul Road F. The Division approved the retention of the haul roads depicted on Exhibit 20-2, since it is compatible with the approved post-mining land use, and a request for its retention was submitted by the landowner (4.03.1(1)(f)(ii)). B. Access Roads There is approximately 0.1 mile of existing access road at the mine. This road is used on a frequent basis to service the shop facilities area of the coal carrier at the east end of the Tie-Across Haul road depicted on Exhibit 13-11. C. Light-Use Roads At the Seneca II-W Mine, there aze approximately 0.9 miles of proposed and 6.1 miles of existing light use roads. The location of light-use roads aze shown on Exhibits 12-2 and a typical cross-section is presented on Figure 13-6. These roads are only used on an intermittent basis for purposes other than transportation of coal, including but not limited to, roads used for monitoring and periodic maintenance of monitoring facilities and reclaimed aeeas.
