to the surface of the road. This material is to be placed in lifts and compacted as per the requirements of Rule 4.03.2. The location of the road is shown on Map 24A. • Pond D The short segment of access road runs on the southwest side of Pond D between Haulroad B and Refuse Pile haul road off of the northeast nose of the refuse pile. During 1996 additional surfacing materials were placed on the road, which consisted of approximately 6 inches of pit run gravels and 4 inches of Class VI base course. Monitoring of the road indicates that it is functioning effectively and in conformance with the performance standards. This work was not considered to be a reconstruction of the road. Rock Dust Tank, Scale, and FCM No.l Access Roads All of these are existing roads and are monitored to determine if additional surfacing material is needed to maintain compliance with the applicable regulations. Batch Weigh/Loadout Building Access Road A new access road for construction and utilization of the batch weigh/loadout building will be established east of the Tipple 2 product pile site and north of the existing overland conveyor (see Map 24). The access road will be designed and constructed in accordance with the design requirements of Rule 4.03.2. The access road will roughly parallel the overland conveyor for a distance of approximately 390' east of the existing Tipple 2 loadout stockpile and terminate at a point south of the location of the batch weigh loadout building. Following construction, sediment control for the new access road area will be provided by the existing rock filters and vegetative filers currently established for the area. • Approximately 1,500 yards of excess fill will be generated from the excavation work required to establish the access road. The material generated will be utilized as permanent fill in the relocation of County Road 27, as detailed in TR-19. TCC will replace an equivalent volume of material at the access road site during final reclamation. The replacement material will consist of spoil obtained during regrading operations in the area south of the existing portals and associated facilities at the Foidel Creek Mine. The volume of replacement material potentially required (maximum 1,500 cubic yards) will have no discernible impact on the final regrade configuration proposed for the source area described. Topsoil from the access road route will be removed and stockpiled in accordance with Rule 4.06. Approximately 770 yards of topsoil will be added to existing topsoil site SF-6 (refer to Map No. 29). Batch Weigh/Loadaut Haulroad (Minor Revision NO.Ol-174) The Batch Weigh Loadout Haulroad was originally approved in technical revision number 97-30 on November 24, 1997. This minor revision merely reflects a relocation of the road, which shortens it and decreases the wetland area to be crossed. The same road and culvert design approved in TR 97-30 will be used in constructing this road. Therefore, no new design will be presented for the road, except as provided in exhibit 48-1. This exhibit merely provides for not placing as much geo-grid under the road section due to the relocation from a lower corridor to a more upland one and verification of the amount of material needed to construct the road. The haulroad is required for access to the batch weigh/loadout facility to enable clean up of spilled coal and general maintenance of the area. The road will tie in to existing Haulroad C, cross Foidel Creek, and run along the toe of Pond C to the batch weigh/loadout facility. The road will have a 30 foot top width and be approximately 550 feet in length. Prior to entering the batch weigh loadout a 40 foot length of road with a 30 foot top width and 20' radii • will be provided for turning around. The haulroad has been designed in accordance with Section 4.03.1(3) to support a fully loaded haul truck. MR O1-174 2.05-72 09/26/01
