i <br />The drainage structures were constructed and have been maintained in accordance with the Rule. <br />The surface of the road consists of crushed gravel and is maintained on a continuing basis. Dust is <br />controlled by a biannual application of magnesium chloride and subsequent water spraying. <br />The refuse haul road was destined for only partial reclamation under the original permit <br />application, since it was originally an unimproved county road. Subsequently, the county has built <br />a new road through roughly the same area and vacated their portion of the refuse haul road. <br />Western Fuels now plans on fully reclaiming the refuse haul road and has modified the permit <br />application accordingly. <br />Based on the above presented evidence the Refuse Haul Road meets the requirements of Rule <br />4.03. I and can be accepted under Rule 4.03.)n~d)(ii). <br />Access Roads <br />As identified in the Permit, the inter-plant access roads, the water treatment plant road, the <br />ventilation entry access road, the explosive magazine access road, the alluvial well access road <br />and the access road to the railroad loadout area were built to the criteria of the curcent 30 CFR <br />817.151, Primary Roads. <br />One exception to note is that the alluvial well access road beyond the double gate and out to the <br />wells will be listed as a light duty road. The reason is twofold. First, the road has been saturated <br />by the rise in the water level of the White River because of siltation at the head of Kenney <br />reservoir and will not meet the requirements of the Rule. Secondly, the traffic is limited to an <br />occasional pickup truck and even more rarely the Mine's boom truck for servicing the well. <br />Another clarification is for the overland conveyor maintenance road south of County road 65 to <br />its terminus at the cut above the bath house. As described in the Permit, this road is identified as a <br />light duty road (now light-use road) and was constructed as such. This road all of the <br />requirements and environmental considerations for the design and construction of a light use road <br />as described in rule 4.03.3. <br />The roads identified above as access roads have been designed, constructed and maintained <br />according to their specific uses. <br />The longest of the roads is the access to the railroad loadout area. This road was designed for <br />regular traffic along two lanes of travel and for access to the overland conveyor. It was built for <br />all types of highway vehicles going to and from the railroad loadout facility. A portion of the road <br />from Co. Rd. 65 north to the temporary truck dump is currently serving as a haul road as <br />accepted under Rule 4.03. (V?d)(ii). The road, because of its design to handle over-the-road truck <br />traffic is performing admirably. The remainder of the road to railroad loadout facility was built to <br />the same criteria and would be expected to perform equally as well. <br />
