the payment of reclamation fees required by 30 CFR Chapter VII, <br />subchapter R (2.07.6(2)(0)). <br />SECTION B <br />The following findings and specific approvals are required by Rule 4: <br />I. Roads - Pule 4.03 <br />A. Haul Roads <br />1. Information pertaining to roads can be found on pages 2.05-SR <br />and 2.05-9, and Maps 5 and 9. The haul/access road at the <br />loadout connects the facilities with State Highway 133. Road <br />cross-sections and profile drawings are presented on Map 9. The <br />location of road drainage ditches and culverts is provided on <br />Map 14. <br />2. The Division proposes to approve the retention of a portion of <br />the haul road which leads to the office area (depicted on Map <br />10) because the road is compatible with the approved post-mining <br />land use, and a request for its retention was submitted by the <br />landowner. The office and garage will remain after the loadout <br />has been reclaimed and will be converted to a residence and <br />garage following reclamation. Therefore, retention of the road <br />is required to provide access. In addition, this roadway will <br />provide access for two adjacent landowners since Delta County is <br />planning to abandon County Road 4365. The roadway is <br />approximately 400 feet long and 24 feet wide. <br />3. The lower portion of the haul road which enters the coal loadout <br />pad will be reclaimed following cessation of mining activities. <br />4. Terror Creek has obtained a Permit for Access from the State <br />Highway Department for the highway approach and a License <br />Agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Fire Mountain <br />Canal Company to allow construction of a concrete box culvert <br />across the Fire Mountain Canal (4.03.1(1)(f)(i)). <br />H. Access Roads <br />1. The Division proposes to approve the retention of the graveled <br />access road which leads to the office area because it is <br />compatible with the approved post-mining land use, as stated <br />above in the haul road section, and because a request for its <br />retention was submitted by the landowner. <br />C. Light-Use Roads <br />1. The Terror Creek Loadout maintains two light-use roads. One <br />road parts from County Road 4365 and enters the permit area from <br />Terror Creek Loadout Page 11 <br />
