•, <br />-34- <br />The major road construction will be the realignment and lengthening of the <br />haul/access, road from County Road 237 to the portal area. The road design <br />meets regulatory requirements for vertical and horizontal alignment, cut <br />slopes, embankments, and drainage. Cut and fill slopes will be revegetated <br />upon completion of construction. The road will not be reclaimed but will <br />remain fo llowing final reclamation to provide access to the site as requested <br />by the landowner (see Appendix G of the application). <br />A shorter road (approximately 275 feet in length) will be constructed to <br />provide access for haulage of development waste from County Road 237 to the <br />waste disposal area. The waste disposal road, as designed, will also meet the <br />regulatory requirements. The road will be reclaimed coincident with final <br />reclamation of the refuse pile. <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br />XXII. Sealing of Drilled Holes and Underground Openings -- Rules 2.05.4(2)(8) <br />and 4.07 <br />Portal seeding is discussed on pages 99 through 102. the portals will be <br />sealed with a concrete block wall and backfilled. Due to the extreme dip of <br />the strata in the area, the only exploratory drilling has been done <br />horizontally, from within the existing mine workings. No surface drilling has <br />been done. <br />A more specific plan for portal sealing is required than has been presented in <br />the permit. application. As portal sealing will not occur during this permit <br />term, a stipulation will allow for proper resolution of issue. <br />STIPULATION N0. 12 <br />THE. PERMITTEE WILL SUBMIT TO THE DIVISION, WITHIN 120 DAYS OF PERMIT <br />ISSUANCE, A PLAN FOR SEALING PORTALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH 30 CFR 75.1111. <br />With the acceptance of the above stipulation, the proposed operation is in <br />compliance with the requirements of this section. <br />XXIII. Spfacial Categories of Mining Other than AVF and Prime Farmland -- Rules <br />Provisions pertaining to mountain top removal, underground mining adjacent to <br />surface mining, and angering operations are not applicable. Also, the <br />operation does not entail steep slope mining. <br />The proposed operation is in Compliance with the requirements of this section. <br />XXIV. Compliance -- Rules 2.05.6(5), 4.02, 4.12, 4.19, 4.21, 4.28 and 4.30 <br />
