base and 6 inches of gravel surfacing. Embankment materials utilized conformed to applicable standards. No
excess or unsuitable material from excavations was encountered and no acid and toxic - forming materials were
S encountered or utilized in embankment construction. The road fill consists of mine spoils, contains less than 25
percent rock larger than 6 inches and was spread in successive uniform layers not exceeding 12 inches, prior to
compaction. Fill material was not dumped in final position, but was dumped and then bladed to facilitate proper
compaction. Design density was achieved for each successive lift throughout the lift prior to placement and
compaction of the next lift. The Access/Haulroad was surfaced with gravel to form a durable road surface. Acid
and/or toxic forming substances were not used in the road surfacing. Typical gravel (road surfacing) characteristics
conform to the following specifications:

Construction activities for the access/haulroad were conducted in accordance with the approved Permit C -82 -056.
As -built P.E. certifications for the Access/Haulroad are included in Exhibit 25, As -Built Certifications of
Access/Haulroad and Other Haulroads.
Once the road is no longer needed, culverts will be removed, and the road and associated drainage features will be
reclaimed by ripping, scarifying, and grading road surfaces, fills, and ditches to blend with the surrounding terrain.
Topsoil is generally not available for reclaiming the mine roads because they have been constructed in previously
disturbed areas, therefore, the best available plant growth media will be utilized as a soil substitute. Potential
growth media will be analyzed for nutrients and, if indicated, soil supplements will be applied. Following soil
substitute replacement, reclaimed road areas will be seeded with the standard revegetation seed mix.
Subsequent to initial construction of the Access/Haulroad, TCC obtained approval (MR03 -184) and resurfaced the
existing Access/Haulroad with a 4- to 5 -inch asphalt matt. The matt is approximately 30 feet wide, except adjacent
to the office building where it is up to 45 feet in width. Minor subgrade preparation was completed prior to
placement of the asphalt matt. A report addressing surfacing recommendations for the road is presented in Exhibit
48 -3.
2. Haulroads
2A. Haulroad Connector
A short (approximately 120 feet) haulroad segment was approved (Technical Revision to Permit C -82 -056, April
16, 1984) and constructed to connect the TCC haulroad (Access/Haulroad) with the existing CYCC Haulroad B.
This road segment extends from the Access/Haulroad at the road intersection near the freshwater borehole to the
beginning of Haulroad B -2 just west of the 0 -Entry shaft and fan building, as shown on Map 24, Surface Facilities.
The centerline road profile for the Haulroad Connector is included as part of the Haulroad B -2 profile, and the
profile and typical cross - sections are shown on Map 30, Road Profiles and Cross - Sections.
Road foundation and gravel thickness were designed based on site soil properties and the methods outlined in the
U.S. Bureau of Mines Information Circular, IC 8758, "Design of Surface Mine Haulage Roads - A Manual ". The
Haulroad Connector is not within 100 feet of any public road right -of -way and will not require relocation of a
•public road.
