stockpile. There did not appear to be any coal dust from the coal haul truck unloading operations. There was a
little coal dust during the front end loader operations but the dust was only in the immediate area. No rail cars
were being loaded during the inspection, although loaded coal rail cars were on site. There were no signs of coal
dust being [racked onto the haul road or highway, nor were there signs of coal dust going offsite.
There were no problems at the office and shop area, the material storage area, the fuel facility, the substation and
the coal unloading and loading structures.
