RULE 2 PERMITS <br /> <br />Collom – Rule 2, Page 71 Revision Date: 4/28/22 <br /> Revision No.: TR-154 <br />on a paved haulage road (See Map 25E – Collom Haul Road, Sheets 1-4) to the coal crushing and load- <br />out facility as shown on the Structures and Facilities Map (Volume 8, Map 22). Details of the coal <br />crushing and load-out facilities are included in Volume 1, Section 2.05.3 under the heading of Mine <br />Facilities. <br /> <br />As the excess overburden pile is constructed, best management practices to reduce sediment production <br />and excess dust impacts to adjoining areas will be implemented. Interim reclamation and/or dust <br />suppression chemcials maybe utilized to impacts, if determined to be necessary. <br /> <br />As soon as possible after the coal is removed from the mining area and sufficient room is available for <br />back-filling, reclamation begins. In general, rough backfilling is completed by the overburden trucks and <br />bulldozers. Final grading will be performed to recreate a post mining topographic expression that is <br />similar to the pre-mining topography. Moderation of some existing topographical expressions is <br />anticipated to facilitate the stability of the reclaimed land surface; however, this is not anticipated to <br />significantly alter the pre-mining topographical expression. Topsoil placement will be done in a manner <br />that reduces erosion and provides a surface for topsoil that minimizes slippage. At the completion of the <br />final grading, topsoil will be redistributed over the regraded spoil and revegetated in accordance with <br />Section 2.05.4. Typically, after completion of topsoil replacement on 3H:1V (horizontal to vertical) <br />slopes, a dozer will construct a drainage control bench or contour furrows, where necessary, to slow water <br />flow on the longer slopes and minimize erosion. <br /> <br />Other surface treatments are also described in Section 2.05.4. A list of the equipment anticipated to be <br />used by Colowyo in the Collom permit expansion area to perform the day-to-day operation of coal mining <br />is shown in Table 2.05.3 in Volume 1. <br /> <br />2.05.3 (2) Operation Description <br /> <br />A detailed narrative description of the land to be affected within the Collom area is provided above under <br />the heading Production Methods. The mining plan for Collom is graphically portrayed on the Mine Plan <br />Map (Map 23B). <br /> <br />2.05.3 (3) Mine Facilities <br /> <br />Existing buildings, structures, utility corridors, loadout, other facilities that will support the Collom area <br />are shown in Volume 8, Maps 21 and 22 and are discussed in Volume 1, Section 2.05.03. These facilities <br />will continue to be used to support the Collom Pit. Facilities constructed at the Collom Pit are shown on <br />Map 22B. The Collom area infrastructure includes power lines, water lines, in-pit haulage routes, <br />crusher, a haul road, and support facilities including coal storage, blasting building and explosive storage. <br />The Collom Coal Haul Road (please see Map 25D) leads out of the Collom Pit and Collom coal crusher <br />and coal storage area. Coal will be loaded at the primary crusher into haul trucks designed for use on <br />conventional roads and will be transported on a single haul road to the Gossard loadout. This haul road <br />runs northeast out the mining area along the West Fork of Jubb Creek (See Map 25E – Collom Haul <br />Road, Sheets 1-4). <br /> <br />Main Office <br /> <br />Please refer to Volume 1 Section 2.05.3. <br /> <br />Shops, Warehouse Facility <br /> <br />Please refer to Volume 1 Section 2.05.3.
