16. The Division has contacted the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation Fees Branch. As of <br />this time, Trapper Mining, Inc. is current in the payment of reclamation fees required by 30 <br />CFR Chapter VII, subchapter R. (2.07.6(2)(0)). <br />Part B - Findings required by Rule 4 <br />The following findings and specific approvals are required by Rule 4. <br />1. Roads - Rule 4.03 <br />A. Haul Roads <br />Haul roads are discussed under Section 3.7.2, Vol. III of the permit application. <br />The Division has previously approved a temporary ford of an ephemeral or <br />intermittent stream having a watershed of at least one square mile during the <br />construction period, being that it will not alter normal water flow, contribute <br />sediment, or adversely affect fish or wildlife. All road construction occurs <br />upstream of adequate sediment control facilities. The approved drainages for <br />this activity are Coyote, Johnson, No Name, and East Pyeatt. (4.03.1(2)(c)). <br />B. Access Roads <br />Access roads are discussed under Section 3.7.3, Vol. III of the permit application. <br />The Division previously approved specific fords of ephemeral streams in <br />watersheds of at least one square mile because they will not seriously alter <br />normal water flow, contribute to sediment load, or cause adverse affects to <br />fish or wildlife. The fords may occur in the Coyote, Johnson, No Name, and <br />East Pyeatt drainages. Adequate sediment control facilities exist downstream <br />of all fords except the West Pyeatt ford, which was found to not need <br />sediment control. (4.03.2(2)(c)). <br />II. Support Facilities - Rule 4.04 <br />Support facilities are discussed under Section 3.8, Vol. III of the permit application. <br />A. Construction of support facilities will not result in damage, destruction, or <br />disruption of oil, gas, or water wells or pipelines, coal slurry pipelines, <br />railroads, or utility lines which pass over, under, or through the permit area. <br />Utility lines and a gas line pass through the permit area but are affected only <br />by the pit areas and not by any support facilities. No utility lines require <br />relocation as a result of PR-06. Written approval from the owner of the <br />affected facilities has been submitted. The Division has previously approved <br />the activities (4.04(6)). <br />Trapper Mine 23 September 21, 2009
