INTRODUCTION
• SCC will apply for release of the bond held by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. The first
step in obtaining bond release is to obtain a letter from the landowner consenting to the proposed postmine
reclamation and land use plan. The second step is to obtain a letter for the affected surface owner requesting that
identified features/structures (specifically roads) be left as permanent. These steps are in accordance with the
Colorado Mined Land Board Regulations for Coal Mining.
• Rule 2.05.5(11(bl, the postmining land use description shall be accompanied by a copy of the comments concerning the proposed use
by the legal or equitable owner of record of the surface of the proposed permit area and the State and local government agencies which
mould have to initiate, implement, approve, or authorize the proposed use of the land following reclamation.
Rule 4.03.1(11(fl. all haul roadr shall be removed and the land affected reclaimed in accordance with the requirements of 4.03.1(7)
unless:
(i) Retention of the road is approved as part of the approved postmining land use and the road complies with all applicable
performance standards; and
(ii) The landowner requests to the Division in writing, that the read or certain parts thereof are to be left open for further use.
The landowner letters are contained in this attachment within Appendix 20-1.1, Landowner Letters.
PERMANENT FEATURES/STRUCTURES
The features and structures to be left permanent include the following.
• Access roads
• • Light use roads
• Culverts
• Water well
• Power line and substation
• Fenced shrub plots
• Sediment ponds
• Stock ponds
• Miscellaneous boundary and grazing fences
Rationale, justification, and documentation are provided in the following discussions to demonstrate compliance
with the approved reclamation and land use plan.
Access Roads
Road "A". The postmine land use calls fora 20 foot wide limited access road to remain inplace using the
approximate original haul road centerline. This road is approximately 3.05 miles in length (16,100 feet). The edges
of the original road have been regraded, ripped, topsoiled and seeded to create the new average 20 foot wide limited
access road. Drainage control along this road consists of designed ditches and culverts. SEDCAD design
calculations are contained in Tab 13, Facilities. Exhibit 20-2, Post Mining Topography, shows the locations of these
roads. The road profiles and cross-sections are included in Tab 20 as Exhibit 20-3, Post Mine Road Profiles.
Road `B". This road has been retained in part at 20 feet in width and the remainder narrowed to a light use road
LU 3A. Drainage control along this road consists of designed ditches and culverts. SEDCAD design calculations
are contained in Tab 13, Facilities.
• Road `B" Extension. This original haul road has been retained in part as a 20 foot wide access road (approximately
1,800 feet), the remainder is retained as light-use roads LU 3A/3B.
