2 -27 <br />Coal waste may be generated from the operation in the form of coal fines, <br />roof falls and other material (high -ash coaly material) scraped up from the coal <br />yard area. This material will be blended and shipped with the product when <br />possible. Coal waste that cannot be shipped will be placed on the top of the coal <br />mine waste area and allowed to adequately dry before being mixed with pre - <br />placed coal waste, re- placed and compacted in the coal mine waste pile. Coaly <br />material excavated from ditches, sediment traps and the sediment pond are also <br />placed on top of the coal mine waste area and allowed to adequately dry before <br />it is mixed with the pre - placed coal waste, re- placed and compacted. The <br />Operator no longer has approval from the Mine Safety and Health Administration <br />(MSHA) to dispose of coal mine waste material in areas of the mine that are no <br />longer actively producing coal. <br />A dispute with a local landowner regarding access to Munger Canyon <br />resulted in reclamation of the Munger Canyon coal mine waste disposal area. <br />The Operator does not generate significant quantities of coal mine waste. The <br />mine operated continuously from February 2000 until November 2004 before it <br />hauled coal mine waste to the Munger Canyon coal mine waste disposal area. <br />However, the Operator does need a place to store coal mine waste. Therefore, <br />the Operator submitted and received approval (TR -16) to construct a small coal <br />mine waste disposal area within the McClane Canyon Mine permit. <br />All non -coal waste generated is disposed of by a commercial waste <br />disposal company. The non -coal waste is typically stored in a dumpster which is <br />periodically hauled to a disposal facility by the waste disposal company. During <br />periods when the mine is idle, the limited amount of non -coal waste generated is <br />sometimes collected and hauled to a waste disposal facility by the Operator. <br />MR -50 M`- Volume 1 (Rev 04/14) <br />
