4.03 ROADS 4 03 1 HALTT ROADS CEC does not currently haul coal on any roads on the operations site. However, coarse reject and underground development waste is hauled by 35% ton trucks over what is referred to on the Roads Map (Map 27) as the main haul road. The main haul road has been certified by CTL/Chompson, Inc., an Engineering Consulting Group, to conform with performance standards of 4.03. The certification document is presented in Exhibit 17, Road Certification. In all cases, CEC has and will design and construct all roads to control or minimize erosion, siltation, air and water pollution, damage to public or private property, and potential impacts on fish, wildlife, and related environmental values. All culverts in place at CEC have been designed by and the placing of such supervised by a qualified registered professional engineer. All culvert design calculations are presented in Exhibit l8, Drainage and Sediment Control Plan. 4.03.2 ACCESS ROADS Access to the CEC Mine site is provided by one (1) access road from State Highway 13. The access road meets all performance standards of 4.03.3. • 4,03.3 LIGHT USE ROADS CEC utilized a number of light use roads within its permit boundary. These fight use roads are shown on the Roads Map (Map 27). The light use roads are used for light vehicle access to environmental monitoring locations, topsoil stockpiles, drainage and sediment control structures, portals, reclamation areas, bone yards, and survey points. No new light use roads are currently planned. However, if it becomes necessary to develop any new light use roads, they will be maintained to control or minimize erosion, siltation, air and water pollution, damage to public or private property, and any potential adverse impacts on fish and wildlife and related env'vonmental values. Numerous support facilities including the mine office, shop-warehouse complex, coal handling and loadout facilities and other minor structures have been constructed in conjunction with the mining operation. The locations of all mine related facilities aze shown on the Structures and Renewable Resources Map (Map 25) and construction and utilization of these facilities are discussed in Section 2.05.3, Operation Plan -Permit Area. All mine related support facilities have been located and designed in order to control and minimize erosion, siltation, air and water pollution, damage to public or private property and potential adverse impacts on fish, wildlife and related environmental values. Specific measures to limit the amount of runoff from facility areas and collect and retain any runoff, which does occur are detailed in Section 2.05.6, Mitigation of the Impacts of Mining and in Exhibit 18, Drainage and Sediment Control Plan. All mine related facilities will be constructed and maintained to ensure effective utilization and prevent or limit any env'vonmental degradation. Upon completion of mining and reclamation • activities, all support facilities with the exception of the roads addressed in Section 2.05.4, Reclamation Plan, will be removed and related disturbed areas will be reclaimed by removing any gravel or other surfacing material, grading the areas to the post-mining configuration, reestablishing drainages, scarifying the surface, replacing topsoil material and reestablishing vegetation.
