Rule 2.04.7 - Hydrology Description <br />9. This item is considered complete. The Division would like to remind Colowyo that <br />pursuant to Rule 2.04.7(1)(iii), Colowyo will be required to reinitiate groundwater <br />monitoring at least one year prior to commencing the mining operations associated <br />with the Collom project. This includes any road or pond construction and topsoil <br />salvaging operations. <br />Rule 2.05.3 - Operations Plan <br />10. This item is considered complete. Colowyo has provided facilities descriptions in <br />Section 2.05.3 of the permit text and on Map 22B - Structures and Facilities. <br />Rule 2.05.3 (3) and 4.03.1- Haul Roads <br />11. This item remains incomplete. Colowyo has not provided designs or text for the haul <br />road to the Gossard Loadout. Colowyo has provided access road designs for this road <br />but the road, by definition, is a haul road and must be designed as such. A haul road <br />is defined as "...any road used for the transport of coal, spoil or coal mine waste." <br />The haul road to the Gossard Loadout must be designed and constructed as required <br />by Rule 2.05.3(3)(c) and Rule 4.03.1. While it appears as though the road is designed <br />to the haul road requirements of Rule 403. 1, Colowyo will need to designate the road <br />as a haul road. <br />In addition to the design requirements for the haul road to the Gossard Loadout, <br />Colowyo will need to provide text descriptions of each haul road planned (the three <br />haul roads to the temporary overburden stockpile and the haul road to the Gossard <br />Loadout). The description needs to include construction methods, the road <br />dimensions (length and width), surface, maintenance, and all other pertinent <br />information regarding the road. <br />Rules 2.05.3 (3) and 4.03.2 - Access Roads <br />12. This item remains incomplete. Colowyo is proposing to build one access road to the <br />proposed Little Collom sediment pond. Colowyo has provided designs for the road in <br />Exhibit 25, Item 1. Colowyo has not, however, provided any text description of the <br />road. The description needs to include construction methods, the road dimensions <br />(length and width), surface, maintenance, and all other pertinent information <br />regarding the road. <br />Rule 2.05.3(4) - Ponds, impoundments and other treatment facilities <br />13. This item is considered complete. Colowyo has provided the necessary SEDCAD <br />analysis and designs (Exhibit 7, Item 23 and Exhibit 7, Item 26, respectively). <br />Additional detail regarding timing of disturbance and additional sediment control <br />ditching may result during the adequacy review. <br />Colowyo Mine C-1981-019 page 4 of 11 8 April 2010 <br />Permit Revision 03 - Collom Permit Expansion
