• There are approximately 3.5 miles of existing light-use roads. ~rese roads will only be used on an intermittent basis for purposes other than transportation of coal including, but not limited to, roads used for monitorirg aryl periodic maintenance of monitoring facilities and reclamation areas, access for scrapers to and from topsoil stockpiles, or other occasional use. 4.03.3(1) C'eneral REnniramantg, Peabody will COILStruCt, maintain and reclaim light-use roads to m;n;mize erosion aryl siltation, air and water pollution arxi damage to public and private property. `ib the extent possible, using the best technology currently available, light-use roads will not cause damage to fish, wildlife, or related errvirornmntal values aryl will not cause additional contributions of suspended solids to streamflow or to runoff outside the permit area. Any such contribution shall not be in excess of limitations of State or Federal • law. '1f10 locations of PY; CY; M light-use proposed roads are shown on ESdiibit 12-1 and a typical cross section is shown on Figure 12-5. 4.03.3(2) Location. Peabody will locate light-use roads on ridges or on a stable slope in order to m;n;m;ze erosion. No part of any light-use road will be located in the channel of an ephemeral stream where the upstream watershed is laYyer than one square mile and >n intermittent or rnmnn;al streams unless specifically approved by the Division. Stream fonds of an ephemeral stream when the upstream watershed is larger than one square mile and intermittent or perennial stream will be approved by the Division before construction proceeds. All other stream crossings will consist of culverts in flowing streams, wnsistently wet areas, and in ephemeral channels as necessary to allow passage and to m;n;m;ze disturbance of the hydrologic balance. Light-use roads planned to be used for a • period of less than six months will utilize temporaYy 12-37k Revised 12/10/92
