Rule 2: Pemrits <br />2.05.6 MITIGATION OF THE IMPACTS OF MINING OPERATIONS <br />• (I) Air Pollution Control Plan <br />All pollutant emissions from the Lorencito Canyon Mine operation will be fugitive dust emissions, <br />i.e., those emissions which could not reasonably pass through a stack, chimney, vent or any other <br />functionally equivalent opening. The fugitive dust emissions will result from: <br />1) vehicular traffic; <br />2) drilling and blasting; <br />3) coal and overburden removal; <br />4) coal and overburden loading and dumping; <br />5) slight wind erosion from benches; and <br />6) active stockpile wind erosion. <br />As part of the permitting process required by the Colorado Department of Health and F.nvironme~, <br />Air Pollution Control Division, a Fugitive Particulate Air Pollutant Co~rol Ptan has been developed <br />for the Lorencito Mining Operations. The plan contains a detailed discussion of the proposed controls <br />for each of the mining operations. Proposed controls for the Lorencito Canyon Mine wi11 be watering <br />or chemical application on haul roads as needed, reduction of speed for vehicles driving on haul and <br />access roads, watering areas which are exposed to wind-blown erosion during extended periods when <br />precipitation does not occ~u, and restricted blasting operations during periods of adverse wind <br />direction and velocity. <br />• <br />TR-14 2.05-77 (Repaginated 3/9/06) <br />
