<br />~~ <br />The water pipeline used to carry water from the pumping station, across <br />private land to the reservoir will be 20 inches in diameter. Water carried <br />from the reservoir to the mine will require a 12-inch diameter pipeline. <br />Work Force Requirements <br />Personnel requirements by year are shown in table 3. <br />TABLE 3 <br />PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS <br />Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 <br />Number of personnel 53 107 214 250 320 370 420 450 <br />The company proposal is to hire as many local people as possible. A small <br />percentage of employees with skills not available locally may necessarily have <br />to be recruited from other areas. An estimate of the ratio of local to <br />nonlocal employees is: <br />Year Percent of Local Recruitment <br />100 <br />2 100 <br />3 90 <br />4 85 <br />5+ 80 <br />The mine wil operate two production and one maintenance shift per day. <br />Personnel will be bused to and from the mine to reduce travel on 18 Road and <br />to conserve energy. Specific bus stops have not been designated as yet. <br />Employee Transportation <br />At maximum employment, three buses (50 people each) will transport 150 people <br />each shift totalling eighteen, one-way trips per day. During year 3 only half <br />the bus traffic would be needed as compared to that at maximum employment. <br />Bus trips at year 3 together with 84 estimated truck hauling trips (42 round <br />trips per day before conversion to rail) to transport the coal, would bring <br />the average daily traffic count on the access road to 88, which is only 13 <br />percent of the traffic on Highway 139 (Douglas Pass Road). Truck traffic <br />would cease about year 4; bus traffic would continue through end of mine life. <br />2-21 <br />
