HR1A Plan and Profile. These exhibits have been prepared in accordance with Rule 9.03.1(1)(d)(ii), which allows a relevant showing in lieu of certification of design and construction for roads constructed prior to August 1999. As such, the certification on these exhibits only pertains to the existing conditions. HGTI assumes that between the 1986 certification statement, as well as the lack of CDRMS concern or issue documented in any monthly compliance inspection report or other permit review since 1992 demonstrates that the haul roads are in compliance with the performance standards of Rule 9.03.1. As part of the 2,000,000 ton per year coal handling revision HGTI will construct the truck loadout haul road (HGLF-HR2). The road has been designed and will be constructed in accordance with CDFMS regulations as described in Appendix 12-3. The location and layout of HRLF-HR2 are shown on Exhibit 12-5, Haul Road HGLF-HR2. The proposed road is approximately 861 feet in length. The alignment extends from the TAHR north towards the rail loop; at approximately stationing 2+45 the haul road turns to the west and loops through the truck loading structure and then ties back into the TAHR at stationing 8+61. Runoff collection ditches will be constructed on either side of haul road HGLF-HR2 (see Exhibit 12-5 for the ditch configurations and design sun¢naries). Ditch design demonstrations are presented in Appendix 12-9. There will be four culverts installed as part of the construction of haul road HGLF-HR2, while a fifth culvert will be modified (see Exhibit 12-5, Haul Road HGLF- HR2). The culvert design demonstrations also are presented in Appendix 12-9. Access Roads: There is one access road (HGLF-AR1), designed and constructed by the previous owner/operator/permittee (H-G Coal Company), within the permit area. Access road HGLF-AR1 starts from haul road HGLF-HR1 at approximately stationing 24+85 and runs west and north of, and parallel to, haul road HGLF-HR1A as the roads go past the office/change building, looping around toward the proposed 30,000 ton stockpile and radial stacker. Historic documentation of the alignment (and designation) is provided in Attachment 12-1 on Exhibit 12-1 (Revision 9, TR-04 Incidental Permit Boundary Change, dated 6/99) and Exhibit 12-2 (Revision 5, TR-09 Incidental Permit Boundary Change, dated 8/99). Access road HGLF-AR1 was constructed by the previous owner/operator/permittee, H-G Coal Company. The access road is approximately 20 feet to 30 feet wide, drainage from the road is controlled by existing Ditch 1, as well as Ditches 5 and 6. HGTI has been unable to locate any design or construction documentation in the project files, however, HGTI assumes the road was designed and constructed in accordance with CDRMS's regulations as described in Appendix 12-3.
