combination of natural processes and operational techniques. <br />Surface facilities for this project will disturb a relatively small area (approximately 45.2 <br />acres). Reclamation/revegetation of construction areas will occur immediately upon <br />completion. In addition, facilities have been designed to take advantage of the <br />topographic features of the area being located at the base of the Grand Hogback. <br />Transfer of coal from the prep plant to the loading facility will be with covered haul <br />trucks. The only exposed coal will be the temporary coal storage pile which will be <br />loaded with and can be maintained wet during dry and/or wind periods with the use of <br />sprinklers. The coal stockpile will be limited to the approximate volume of 3 unit trains <br />and will be completely removed, periodically, at the time of loading. With the initial <br />moisture content and the ability to maintain moisture, fugitive dust should be minimal. <br />• Refuse is proposed to be transferred from the prep plant by slurry pipeline to the <br />disposal area within the mine, so there will be no dust emissions from this part of the <br />operation. <br />Vehicle speed and off-road use will be restricted. <br />4.6.2 Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />To protect and enhance the fish and wildlife resources of the project site, the Operator <br />proposes to make every effort to work with DOW and other appropriate agencies in the <br />planning, construction, implementation, and abandonment of its mining operations. <br />• <br />NCIG-Coal Ridge No. 1 4.75 5/00 <br />
