All coal mine waste is disposed of in the permanent refuse disposal areas <br />described above. <br /> <br />(10) Return of Coal Processing Waste to Abandoned Workings <br /> <br />MCC does not return coal processing waste generated at West Elk Mine to the underground <br />workings. All coal processing waste is disposed of in the permanent refuse disposal areas described <br />above. <br /> <br />(11) Disposal of Non-Coal Waste <br /> <br />Temporary disposal of non-coal waste (trash, garbage, lumber or other items identified in Rule <br />4.11.4) is in a solid waste compactor which is located in one of the concrete bins near the portal <br />area. The location of these bins is identified on Map 53 as "Dumpster and Materials Storage Bunker <br />Area." The compactor system is designed to handle all West Elk Mine solid waste including spools, <br />pallets and some metals. There are several trash barrels/small dumpsters for employee use in the <br />facilities area, but these are relocated when full to the compactor. The roll-off unit for the <br />compactor is picked up by a contracted disposal firm when it is full, and replaced with another unit. <br />Final disposal of non-coal waste is at the Delta County Landfill, a State approved facility. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
