B. Access Roads At the Seneca II Mine, there are approximately 2.2 miles of existing access roads. These roads aze shown on Exhibit 12-1 of the permit application package. Portions of these access have been reclaimed as part of the current reclamation activities at the site. All access roads will be reclaimed upon cessation of mining. C. Light-Use Roads There aze approximately 3.5 miles of existing light-use roads that aze shown on Exhibit 12-1. These roads aze only used on intermittent basis for purposes other than transportation of coal including roads used for monitoring and periodic maintenance of monitoring facilities and reclamation azeas, access for scrapers to and from topsoil stockpiles, or other occasional use. All access roads will be reclaimed upon cessation of mining. R. Support Facilities -Rule 4.04 Support facilities at the mine include administrative and production buildings, surface water runoff control structures, and water monitoring structures. Administrative and production related facilities locations aze shown on Exhibits 12-1 and 12-2, of the permit application package. Locations of structures relating to surface and groundwater hydrology are shown on Exhibits 7-2 and 7-7 in the permit application package. III. Hydrologic Balance -Rule 4.05 A. Water Quality Standards and Effluent Limitations All dischazges from the Seneca II site from storm runoff, pit pumpage, water treatment facilities, and spoil springs will pass though a sediment pond designed to ensure that all dischazges meet effluent limits in Seneca Coal Company's NPDES permit for the Seneca II Mine. A storm water permit and spill prevention containment and control plan associated with the NPDES permit also dictate preventative and mitigation measures for ensuring that all water leaving the mine site meets applicable effluent limits. There are no variances from the requirements of the Rules and Regulations proposed at this time. Therefore, no specific findings regazding water quality standards have been made. The Division has granted three small azea exemptions from the use of sediment ponds due to the limited size of the azea and due to the fact that ponds and treatment facilities aze not necessary for the drainage to meet the effluent limitations of Rule 13
