§4.03 ROADS
9.03.1 Haul Roads.
(1) ia) Three permitted haul roads are utilized in conjunction with
various facilities and operations. The haul roads are identified
as the Bowie No. Mine haul road, the Bowie No. 1 Mine - West Mine
haul road, and the Bowie No. 1 Mine R-O-M coal stockpile haul
road. In addition to the permitted haul roads, the operator
utilizes portions of two public roads to conduct its operations.
The Steven's Gulch road (also known as Delta County 9010 Drive),
located north of State Highway 133 at Mile Post 8, is utilized to
transport coal via truck approximately 2.5 miles from the entrance
of the Orchard Valley Mine to State Highway 133. An additional
segment of the Steven's Gulch Road, extending generally northwest
of the Bowie No. 1 Mine entrance approximately 1.2 miles, links
the Bowie No. 1 Mine and West Mine haul roads and provides access
between the two portal locations.
The operator trucks coal between the Bowie No. 1 Mine and its
storage and train loadout area via the Bowie No. 1 Mine haul road.
Construction of the road began march 12, 1976, and was completed
September 30, 1976. No additional disturbance is planned during
the current permit term. The road is designed, constructed, and
maintained to control erosion and siltation, pollution of water,
and damage to public and private property. Specific requirements
are addressed within this section 4.03.1.
Technical Revision 35 transfers the train loadout, storage and
emergency stockpile from the Bowie No. 1 Mine permit to the Bowie
No. 2 Mine permit application.
• The Bowie No. 1 Mine - West Mine haul road is constructed from
Steven's Gulch road to the West Mine site. Construction began
November 13, 1986, and was completed January 1, 1987. The West
Mine haul road is designed, constructed, and maintained to control
erosion and siltation, pollution of water, and damage to public
and private property. Specific requirements of this haul road are
addressed within each section of 9.03.01.
The Bowie No. 1 Mine R-O-M coal stockpile haul road was
constructed between May 10, 1976, and May 9, 1977 as evidenced by
aerial photos of the site available at the mine office. The road
was defined as a haul road following the approval of minor
revision 66. Minor revision 66 established the R-O-M coal
stockpile and by definition therefore categorized the road leading
to this area as a haul road. This haul road is designed,
constructed, and maintained to control erosion and siltation,
pollution of water, and damage to public and private property.
Specific requirements of this haul road are addressed within each
section of 9.03.01.
(b) No haul road causes damage to fish, wildlife, or related
environmental values. Haul road construction minimizes
contributions of suspended solids to streamflow and runoff outside
the permit area. Specific requirements are addressed within this
section 9.03.1.
