existing storage reclaim tunnel) that will elevate the coal to the top of the truck loading <br />. facility. <br />Truck Loadout Building: When the Hayden Gulch Loadout facility was used to load unit trains <br />for market coal delivery, the loadout building was located over the railroad track. The <br />building will be refurbished and relocated under this operations plan. The loadout building <br />will be located near the existing steel stack tube. The ateel stack tube and associated <br />concrete reclaim tunnel will be demolished. <br />Coal transported to the top of the loading facility is discharged into a 75-ton surge bin. <br />The bin is necessary to provide continuous loading and permit cutoff of coal flow between <br />tandem trailers. Continuous coal sampling is provided by an ASTM sampling system as coal is <br />discharged from the 60-inch wide elevating belt conveyor. Afour-foot-square, air operated <br />guillotine gate was installed horizontally at the surge bin discharge opening. A <br />telescoping loading chute was provided for uniform loading of trailers and installed <br />independently and below the guillotine gate. <br />Haul Road HGLF-HR2 will be constructed to allow haulage trucks a route through the loading <br />area. <br />Operation: Operation of all coal handling equipment is controlled from an operations cab <br />located at the truck loadout building. <br />Ancillary Facilities <br />A 24-foot by 62-foot mobile trailer was provided to house office and change house <br />facilities. The trailer is insulated, electrically heated, lighted and ventilated. Non- <br />potable water for the trailer is furnished from a well located two miles north of the <br />trailer (immediately southeast of the intersection of Highway 40 and Routt County Road 37). <br />A hydropneumatic system with a storage tank provides an adequate water supply at the <br />required pressure. <br />A passenger car parking area is provided adjacent to the office/change house building. A <br />new, gravel-surfaced parking area will be constructed at the truck loading building. <br />Sewage Water and Stormwater Facilities <br />A septic system was provided to collect all sewage water from the office and change house <br />trailers. Storm water runoff from the facilities area is accumulated in the two <br />sedimentation ponds. <br />Power Transmission <br />Power entering the permit area is shown on Exhibit 12-1, Facilities Map. <br />TR-06 15 Revised OS/OS <br />
