<br />Gl"~. ?., <br />U _L.L . <br /> <br />transport to the ash disposal area, located about 4,000 feet south- <br /> <br />west of the plant, which is not visible from the plsnt or existing <br /> <br />roads. <br /> <br />2. If a wet scrubber is used, fly ash will be pumped as a slurry to a <br /> <br />disposal pond. <br /> <br />3. Bottom ash, which will be about 25 percent of the total ash, will <br /> <br />be carried hydraulically to a dewatering tank and transported to a <br /> <br />disposal area. <br /> <br />4. The ash in the disposal area will be covered with earth or otherwise <br /> <br />stabilized to prevent blowaway. The final stabilized area will be <br /> <br />reseeded. <br /> <br />Dust abatement will be achieved through: <br /> <br />1. Providing landscaping or ground cover for open areas immediately <br /> <br />around the plant. <br /> <br />2. Paving all roads in the general plant area and switchyard areas. <br /> <br />3. Surfacing the switchyard area with crushed rock or other material <br /> <br />to keep dust down. <br /> <br />4. Coal will be delivered from the mine to the storage area by a <br /> <br />covered conveyor,.and the reclaim conveyor will also be covered. The <br /> <br />location of the coal storage and reclaim area is such that it has <br /> <br />natural protection from downcanyon winds, which will be advantageous <br /> <br />in dust control. The coal pulverizer will be enclosed to prevent <br /> <br />escape of dust, and the plant will be pressurized to prevent in- <br /> <br />filtration of any dust into that area. Boilers will be of the bal- <br /> <br />anced draft design. <br /> <br />24 <br />
