reclamation fees required by 30 CFR Chapter VII, subchapter R [2.07.6(2)(0)]. MCC's <br />compliance information was verified through the use of the Applicant/Violator System on <br />October 8, 2008. <br />Section B <br />The following findings and specific approvals are required by Rule 4. <br />1. <br />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 both haul and access <br />roads. They are primarily used as access roads, but occasionally coal or coal <br />mine waste is hauled across the road. This classification includes the <br />following roads: <br />Road Name <br />Silo Haul/Access Road <br />Stacktubes Haul/Access Road <br />Middle Mine Haul/Access Road <br />Road Name <br />Upper Haul/Access Road <br />Main Haul/Access Road <br />Sylvester Gulch Haul/Access Road <br />Road Location <br />Between silos and MB-2R <br />Between upper and lower stacktube pads <br />Between breaker building and Main haul/access <br />road <br />Road Location <br />Between the intersection of the Middle Mine <br />haul/access road and the Main haul/access road <br />and the Portal access road <br />Between Highway 133 and the intersection of <br />the Middle Mine haul/access road and the Main <br />haul/access road <br />Between Main haul/access road and the Shaft 1 <br />and 2 areas <br />As coal or coal mine waste may be hauled on the above roads, all of the roads <br />have been designed, constructed and certified as haul roads. As-built <br />certifications are provided in Exhibit 8A of the permit document. A discussion <br />of the haul/access roads is found in Section 2.05.3 in Volume 1 of the permit <br />document. The designs are in compliance with Rules 2.05.3 and 4.03.1. <br />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 Haul/Access <br />Road (from the Main haul/access road to the Sylvester Gulch fan) will be <br />reduced to a light use road and will provide access to the fan site and areas to <br />the south. <br />23
