• <br />2.05.3 <br />The Bowie No. 2 Mine may utilize some of the facilities located at the Bowie <br />No. 1 Mine to support the mining operation. These facilities may include <br />administrative offices, maintenance facilities and the unit train loadout. <br />However, these facilities will remain at the Bowie No. 1 Mine, will remain the <br />responsibility of the Bowie No. 1 Mine, and will remain subject to the <br />requirements of DMG permit C-81-038. <br />(3)(a) Following is a discussion of the proposed mine facilities: <br />Portal Conveyor Transfer Building <br />The portal conveyor transfer building is a structural steel building where the <br />main belt from the mine terminates. The coal from the mine will transfer to <br />the stockpile conveyor. Gob conveyed from the mine will be transferred to <br />the gob belt. The dimensions of the building are approximately 20 feet by 24 <br />feet by 45 feet high. <br /> <br />Stacking Tube <br />The raw coal is stacked by this concrete tube to minimize coal segregation <br />and air particulate emissions. The tube is approximately 85-feet high and <br />12-feet in diameter. It has 4 foot openings to allow coal to flow from the tube <br />to the stockpile area. The stacking tube is located directly on the reclaim <br />tunnel. <br />Reclaim Tunnel <br />The reclaim tunnel is located under the stacking tube and a 70,000 ton <br />stockpile. It is of reinforced concrete construction. The typical inside <br />dimensions of the tunnel are 13 feet high by 12 feet wide. The tunnel is <br />approximately 245 feet long. A 36-inch diameter escape tube is located on <br />the east end of the tunnel. The 120 foot long escape tube terminates at a <br />concrete fan housing that is approximately 6 feet by 6 feet by 8 feet high. <br /> <br />PR-06 <br />AyPRovc~ <br />/// s~o 2 <br />2.05-9- 8/01 <br />
