crushing and screening equipment, conveyors, stockpile areas, and a sediment control system of <br />ditches and one pond. The FCT facility has been demolished and the area has been backfilled <br />and regraded and received Phase I Release in 2013 with SL -01. <br />The 6 -Main North (6MN) facilities were constructed in 2007-2009 and are located in Section 17, <br />T5N, R86W. The 6MN facilities consist of an escape shaft with a man hoist for emergency <br />evacuation, cuttings pit, topsoil stockpiles, transformer, two rock dust tanks and associated <br />boreholes, MAC borehole, and materials boreholes, compressor building, 6MN million gallon <br />water tank, 6MN sediment pond, 6MN reservoir, ventilation fan, fan heaters (4), and propane <br />tank. The 6MN facilities provide support to underground workings in the Northern Mining <br />District. <br />The 18 -Right facilities area is located on the eastern flank of the Northern Mining District <br />workings in Sections 10 and 11, T5N, R86W. The 18 -Right facilities consisted of a borehole, <br />heater, and hoist building, MAC borehole and monitoring equipment (portable trailers), cuttings <br />pit, and propane tank. The access road to this site connects to the Fish Creek Tipple facilities <br />area. The 18 -Right facilities area has been demolished and the area has been backfilled, <br />regraded and revegetated. This area has received Phase I release in 2013 with the approval of <br />SL -01. <br />The 18 -Left facilities were constructed in 2009. These facilities consist of a ventilation shaft <br />borehole, and escape shaft, MAC borehole, transformer pad, topsoil stockpile, cuttings pit, and <br />sediment pond. Structures for the escape shaft, ventilation fan, and MAC monitoring will be <br />removed from other areas of the mine where they are no longer needed, and reconstructed at the <br />18 -Left site. The 18 -Left facility will support the mine workings in the proposed Western <br />Mining District. <br />The 5 -Main North Cement Borehole facilities consists of a pad, topsoil stockpiles and a light use <br />road. The borehole was used to supply concrete to the Wadge Seam workings. This borehole <br />will be converted to a de -watering borehole. The 5 -Main North Pipeline was installed to help <br />facilitate future dewatering operations from the 5 -Main North Borehole. The pipeline will be <br />used to route mine water to the various water transport systems, storage and discharge sites <br />within the permit area. <br />Physiographic Setting <br />The permit area varies in elevation from 6,600' to 7,500' with the portal openings at 6,885' along <br />Foidel Creek. Generally, the topography consists of gently rolling hills, dip slopes and cliff <br />outcrops. Flatter topography is evident in the valleys of the major streams draining the area <br />(Fish Creek and Foidel Creek), as well as along the gentle dip slopes. Prominent cliffs have <br />formed where massive sandstone units outcrop. <br />Geologic Setting <br />The rock units of Twentymile Park Basin which dip 5° - 30° toward the central portion of the <br />basin are of local significance. Normal faulting has been identified throughout the permit area, <br />striking generally northwest to southeast, with displacement of zero to 85 feet.
