Documentation to support retention of fencing and electrical facilities has been provided within Tab <br />20 Attachment 20-2 of the PAP. Seneca plans to retain several stock ponds and sedimentation ponds <br />as permanent structures; however the permanent sediment ponds and stock ponds are not included in <br />the SL-2 bond release application. Seneca will submit a technical revision addressing the remaining <br />requirements of Rule 4.05.9(13) at a later date. <br />Roads <br />A number of existing roads within the permit area have been approved or proposed as permanent <br />structures for the postmining land use, to allow for access through the permit area by multiple private <br />landowners, and to provide access to various portions of the permit area to facilitate postmining use <br />and management. Proposed permanent roads in the original permit block (North Area) that were <br />included within the SL-2 release request area include Road "G", the Ridgeline Access Road, the Oil <br />Well Access Road (the upper segment of Routt County Road (RCR) 53C), a Section of Road "J", and <br />all or portions of permanent light use roads LU-1, LU-3, and LU-4. These roads are shown on Figure <br />2 of this document. Landowner requests for permanent road retention, rationale and justification for <br />retention, and summary of permanent road specifications are found in Tab 20, Attachment 20-2 of the <br />permit and the locations are shown on Exhibit 20-2, Post Mining Topography. These roads are also <br />denoted on Exhibit B (Phase I Bond Release Postmine Topography and Drainage) of the SL-2 <br />application. Road design plans, postmining criteria, and As-Built drawings are provided in Tab 13 <br />of the permit. <br />Haul roads or haul road segments to be retained for permanent retention as access roads were <br />modified for postmining use by eliminating MSHA berms, reducing travel width to 28 feet (Routt <br />County Road 53C) or 20 feet (all other permanent access roads), and grading and seeding roadsides <br />and graded slopes. Several light use roads have been proposed for permanent retention as ranch <br />roads mostly to replace ranch road segments that were in place on the landscape prior to mining. <br />Light-use roads are generally reduced to twelve feet in width, graded and seeded on the roadsides. <br />9
