• No travel of unauthorized vehicles will be allowed on anything other than established roads. Employee and mine vehicles and other haulage equipment will be restricted only to the haul and access roads. Crushing, Handling and Loadout Facilities. The coal from the Peacock Coal Mine will be transported from the mine via a conveyor. A conveyor will discharge the coal into a crusher which will reduce the coal to an approximate 2" x 0" size. Once crushed, the coal will be fed onto another conveyor belt and discharged into a coal stockpile. The coal from the stockpile will be loaded into highway trucks for transport to market. The coal handling, crushing and Loadout diagram for the Peacock Coal Mine is shown on the Drainage and Sediment Control Plan Map (Map 6). Coal dust from th.e existing coal crushing and Loadout facilities along Hay Gulch has not been a problem because of infrequency of strong winds in the vicinity of the Sunbelt operation. If coal dust becomes a • problem at the planned storage piles, the water truck from the mine will be available for suppression. No thermal dryers are to be used at the facilities. Disturbance. Because Sunbelt will be mining coal from an underground operation, the area of land affected for surface operations and facilities within the permit area will be minimal. Reclamation of the surface operations and facilities within the permit area will commence as contemporaneously as possible after mining operation is completed. The mine water truck will be available to keep any dusty conditions under control. Strong or excessive winds are not commonplace in the vicinity of the Sunbelt operation; therefore, planning of any special windbreak vegetation will not be undertaken. Blasting. Because Sunbelt is conducting an underground mining operation, no surface blasting will be undertaken as part of the • operation. 2.05-40
