With the exception of certain haul road segments which will be retained in reduced <br />configuration for post-mining ranch roads, all roads will be reclaimed to AOC and <br />revegetated. Those road segments which will be reduced to a 20 foot travel width <br />to replace pre-existing ranch roads include the Mine Entrance Haul Road (MEHR), <br />haul roads A and the first segments of Haul Roads G and F. The Division <br />approved the retention of the haul roads depicted on Exhibit 20-2, since it is <br />compatible with the approved post-mining land use, and a request for its retention <br />was submitted by the landowner (4.03.1(1)(f)(ii)). <br />B. Access Roads <br />There is approximately 0.1 mile of existing access road at the mine. This road is <br />used on a frequent basis to service the shop facilities area of the coal carrier at the <br />east end of the Tie-Across Haul road depicted on Exhibit 13-11. <br />C. Light-Use Roads <br />At the Seneca II-W Mine, there are approximately 0.9 miles of proposed and 6.1 <br />miles of existing light use roads. The location of light-use roads are shown on <br />Exhibits 12-2 and a typical cross-section is presented on Figure 13-6. These roads <br />are only used on an intermittent basis for purposes other than transportation of <br />coal, including but not limited to, roads used for monitoring and periodic <br />maintenance of monitoring facilities and reclaimed areas. <br />II. Support Facilities -Rule 4.04 <br />Support facilities used in conjunction with the Seneca II-W Mine include an equipment <br />construction site, fuel storage areas, an equipment shop, office bathhouse, apotable <br />water well and supply line to the approved facilities area, an electric substation and an <br />explosive storage facility, and Sediment Ponds 005, 006, 009, 015, 016, and 017. <br />Proposed pond 016A is proposed to be constructed immediately up drainage from <br />Pond 016, to provide necessary retention capacity for additional disturbance <br />proposed within PR-3.. <br />Volumes 7-9, Tab 13, contain detailed information on the existing and proposed mine <br />facilities. <br />III.
