5. The Division does not propose to approve an access road embankment <br />slope steeper than 1.35H: IV (4.03.2(3)(d)(viii)). <br />C. Light-Use Roads <br />The Division does not propose to approve the location of a portion of a <br />light-use road in the channel of an ephemeral stream with an upstream <br />watershed of at least one (1) square mile, an intermittent or a perennial <br />stream (4.03.3(2)(b)). <br />2. The Division does not propose to approve a ford of an intermittent, a <br />perennial or an ephemeral stream which drains at least one (1) square <br />mile. Fords will be allowed across ephemeral streams with a watershed <br />less than one (1) squaze mile. The Division finds that the fords will not <br />affect stream sedimentation or fish, wildlife, and related values due to <br />light and infrequent use. <br />3. The light-use roads are pre-existing roads and will be retained after <br />reclamation of the Bowie No. 2 Mine site. <br />II. Support Facilities -Rule 4.04 <br />A. Construction of support facilities will not result in change, destruction or <br />disruption of oil, gas pipelines or water wells, nor will coal slurry pipelines or <br />railroads be impacted. Therefore, the Division approved those activities (4.04(6)). <br />A list of approved facilities may be found in Section 2.05.3(3) of the permit. <br />III. Hydrologic Balance -Rule 4.05 <br />A. Water Quality Standards and Effluent Limitations <br />The Division granted approval for small area exemptions from the use of <br />sediment ponds, due to the limited size of the areas and due to the fact that <br />ponds and treatment facilities aze not necessary for the drainage to meet <br />the effluent limitations of Rule 4.05.2 and applicable State and Federal <br />water quality standards for receiving streams, and also due to the fact that <br />no mixing of surface drainage with a discharge form underground <br />workings will occur. The locations of the small aeeas to be exempted are <br />discussed on Page 2.05-32 of the permit application and are shown on <br />permit document Map 21-1 and Map 95266-02 (4.05.2(3)(b)(i)). <br />Storm runoff from six small areas are subjected to alternate treatment <br />prior to leaving the permit azea. The six areas are 1.) the "material <br />storage area below Pond C, 2.) the pump station, 3.) the topsoil stockpile <br />za <br />
