Agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Fire Mountain Canal Company to allow construction of a concrete box culvert across the Fire Mountain Canal (4.03.1 (1) (f) (i)) . B. Access Roads 1. The Division proposes to approve the retention of the graveled access road which leads to the office area because it is compatible with the approved post-mining land use, as stated above in the haul road section, and because a request for its retention was submitted by the landowner. C. Light-Use Roads 1. The Terror Creek Loadout maintains two light-use loads. One road parts from County Road 4365 and enters the permit area from the east side, below the storage area, and ends at the water tank. 2. The second light-use road parts from County Road 4365 and enters the permit area from the east aide, below the sediment pond. This road provides access to the railroad siding and the over- the-track coal bin. 3. The two light-use roads will be reclaimed following cessation of mining activities. II. Suooort Facilities - Rule 4.04 A. Construction of support facilities did not result in any damage to any protected structures. Therefore, the Division proposes to approve those activities (4.04(6)). III. Rvdroloaic Balance - Rule 4.05 A. Water Quality Standards and Effluent Limitations 1. There is one sediment pond and one dugout pond at the Terror Creek Loadout that treat drainage from the disturbed area. These ponds function as designed to ensure that applicable water quality standards and effluent standards are met. 2. The Division proposes to grant small area exemptions from the use of sediment ponds, due to the limited size of the area, the fact that ponds and treatment facilities are not necessary for the drainage to meet the effluent limitations of Rule 4.05.2 and applicable State and Federal water quality standards for receiving streams, and due to the fact that no mixing of surface drainage with a discharge £rom underground workings will occur, as the operation ie loadout, no mining will occur. The small areas to be exempted include the outslope of the facilities pad, the over-the-track loadout facility, and the railroad spur track (4.05.2 (3) (b) (i)) . B. Diversions and Conveyance of Overland Flow 1. Sediment control ditches have been designed and constructed in compliance with Rule 4.05.3. Locations are shown on Map 14 and designs can be found in Exhibit 9 of the permit application (4.05.3(2)). Terror Creek Loadout Page 10
