Section B <br /> The following findings and specific approvals are required by Rule 4. <br /> 1. Roads - Rule 4.03 <br /> A. Haul Roads <br /> 1. No roads on the West Elk Mine site are specifically designated or utilized as <br /> only haul roads. A majority of the roads are considered haul and access <br /> roads. They are primarily used as access roads, but occasionally coal or <br /> coal mine waste is hauled across the road. This classification includes the <br /> following roads: <br /> Road Name Road Location <br /> Silo Haul/Access Road Between silos and MB-2R <br /> Stacktubes Haul/Access Road Between upper and lower stacktube pads <br /> Middle Mine Haul/Access Road Between breaker building and Main haul/access <br /> road <br /> Upper Haul/Access Road Between the intersection of the Middle Mine <br /> haul/access road and the Main haul/access road <br /> and the Ponal access road <br /> Main Haul/Access Road Between Highway 133 and the intersection of <br /> the Middle Mine haul/access road and the Main <br /> haul/access road <br /> Sylvester Gulch Haul/Access Road Between Main haul/access road and the <br /> Sylvester Gulch Ventilation Facilities <br /> RPE Haul/Access Road Refuse Pile Expansion area <br /> As coal or coal mine waste may be hauled on the above roads, all of the <br /> roads have been designed, constructed and certified as haul roads. As-built <br /> certifications are provided in Exhibit 8A of the permit document. A <br /> discussion of the haul/access roads is found in Section 2.05.3 in Volume 1 <br /> of the permit document. The designs are in compliance with Rules 2.05.3 <br /> and 4.03.1. Haul/access roads are shown on Map 53 and 53B. <br /> 2. With the exception of a portion of the Sylvester Gulch Haul/Access Road, <br /> these haul/access roads will be reclaimed upon closure of the mine when the <br /> roads are no longer necessary. A portion of the Sylvester Gulch <br /> Haul/Access Road (from the Main haul/access road to the Sylvester Gulch <br /> fan) will be reduced to a light use road and will provide access to the fan site <br /> and public lands to the south. <br /> B. Access Roads <br /> 1. The West Elk Mine has three access roads which are considered access <br /> roads only. These include the Sylvester Gulch Substation Access Road the <br /> 24 <br />
