RE: Yoast Mine Permit C-94.082, Haul Roads A and B Preliminary
As-BUilt Certification
Dear Ms. Crosby:
This is a preliminary as-built certification for Haul Roads A and
B to the Yoast Mine. Next spring a final survey will be conducted
which will generate the as-built drawings for both haul roads.
included with this certification is one complete set of all density
tests and proctors performed during this entire construction
project.
Haul Road A construction started in the summer of 1995 and ceased
in November of that same year. Construction recommenced in the
spring of 1996 and was completed this fall. Haul Road B
construction took place during the fall of 1996 and was recently
completed in preparation for coal haulage in 1996 from the Yoast
Mine. All salvageable topsoil was either windrowed to the edges of
the road disturbance or stockpiled. Portions that were windrowed
have been replaced and revegetated. This certification covers
approximately 16,100 feet (3.05 miles) of Haul Road A and 6,100
feet (1.16 miles) of Haul Road B.
In accordance with Rule 4, Part 4.03.1(1)(d) of the Rules and
Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board pursuant
to the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act 34-33-101 et.
seq., I, Michael G. Altavilla, hereby certify that the construction
of Haul Roads A and B were inspected by myself. I, Michael G.
Altavilla, am a 1984 graduate in mining engineering and I have been
a Registered Professional Engineer in Colorado since 1992. I
visited the site on numerous occasions during the construction of
both haul roads.
I visited the construction site on a weekly basis over the entire
length of the project. Activities observed during these weekly
inspections consisted of topsoil removal, the placement of fill and
base materials according to the approved design and specifications,
as well as the installation of the appropriate culverts. All
activities were conducted in accordance with the prudent state-of-
the-art earthen construction.
