§2.05 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SVRFACE OR UNDERGROUND MINING ACTIVITIES - <br /> MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION AND RECLAMATION PLANS. <br />2.05.6 Mitigation of Surface Coal Mining Operation Impacts. (Cont' d) <br />(1) (b) (Cont'd) <br />The most effective method of coal handling from the standpoint <br />of air pollution is to keep the coal from ier being exposed to <br />the outside atmosphere. At the Bowie No. 1 Mine, the coal <br />will be mined, crushed, screened, transported by truck, stored <br />and loaded into train cars, all under the most current, best <br />available technology in air quality assurance. At each <br />transfer point in the mining, crushing, and screening process, <br />the coal may be sprayed with a water solution to minimize <br />dust. Throughout the silo and loadout area, all transfer <br />points have bag house controls for fugitive dust. <br />On the mine site, all roads which receive heaviest traffic are <br />paved so as to reduce fugitive dust. Gravel roads are watered <br />as necessary to reduce fugitive dust emissions. A magnesium <br />chloride solution is also applied, as necessary, to gravel <br />roads to suppress dust. <br />Dust suppression during construction by watering is estimated <br />to reduce fugitive dust emissions by at least fifty percent. <br />Chemical stabilization, grading, mulching and revegetation <br />practices were and will continue <br />Revised 10/12/86 <br />Revised 10/01/87 <br />.
