• 2.05.6 Mitigation of the Impacts of Mining Operations <br />Air Pollution Control Plan <br />Sunbelt will maintain fugitive dust control measures as an integral part <br />of all mining and reclamation activities. An emissions permit has been <br />requested by Sunbelt to the Colorado Department of Health, Air Quality <br />Division. The permit request is set forth in Exhibit 4, Permits for <br />Mining. <br />The principal fugitive dust control practices to be employed by Sunbelt <br />will be as follows: <br />Roads. Sunbelt will employ a dust supression program for access roads <br />which primarily involves periodic watering. Amine water truck will run <br />periodically over the access roads wetting down any dusty conditions. <br />If determined to be necessary as an addition to periodic watering, a <br />• chemical dust suppression agent may be used during the dry months on the <br />mine's main roads. At this time, however, chemical stabilization of the <br />unpaved roads is not planned. <br />The roads at the mining operation will be maintained by a motor grader <br />or similar equipment to remove any coal, rock, soil or any other debris. <br />Smooth and clean road surfaces are essential for not only minimizing <br />dust but also for allowing efficient and economic use of the mine's <br />equipment. A strict speed limit will be implemented for all roads <br />within the permit area to control dust. Speed limits will be set at 15 <br />miles per hour for all vehicles and equipment. <br />Road embankment slopes and adjacent areas will be mechanically <br />stabilized and seeded with the mixture as shown in Section 2.05.4 and <br />mulched, if necessary, with a native hay to aid in establishing <br />vegetation and to minimize erosion and dust. The stabilized slope will <br />be broadcast seeded at twice the drill seed rate. <br /> <br />2.05-39 <br />
