• Waste Water. Sewage from the existing and proposed buildings will be disposed of through <br />proposed and existing sanitary sewer lines discharging into a sewer main on Lincoln Street which <br />is owned by the Nucla Sanitary District. Waste water from the equipment wash will be re-circulated <br />and reused; however, if there is any excess waste water, it will be run through a sediment trap and <br />an oil water separator and discharged to Pond 007 via a natural drainage and the 007 East Ditch. <br />Domestic Water. Potable water will be provided through a water line tied into the Town of Nucla <br />water system. <br />Solid Wastes. Solid waste will be picked up by the local waste disposal contractor for disposal in <br />the Montrose County Sanitary Landfill. The land fill is privately owned and operates under the <br />regulations mandated by the State of Colorado and Montrose County. Solid wastes not suitable for <br />disposal at the landfill will be transported to and disposed of in suitable, licensed facilities under the <br />applicable Federal and State regulations. When practicable, solid wastes will be separated for <br />recycling. <br />Explosive Storage. No explosive storage facilities are contemplated for the New Horizon Mine. <br />• Blasting will be carried out by a licensed independent contractor who will own and maintain <br />explosive storage facilities off-site and transport explosives to the mine site as needed. The <br />contractor may maintain small field magazines on the mine site, but no explosives will be stored at <br />the mine overnight. <br />Fuel Storaoe. Three above-ground fuel tanks will be utilized. Two tanks of approximately 12,000 <br />gallons capacity will be used for diesel storage and a tank of approximately 1,000 gallons capacity <br />will be used for gasoline storage. One of the diesel tanks and the gasoline tank are located at the <br />fuel and lubricant storage and dispensing facility proximal to the truck shop. The second diesel <br />tank is located near the pit to facilitate fueling for trucks and loader. This tank is mounted on skids <br />so that it may be advanced as needed to remain near the active mine area. Both sets of tanks are <br />enclosed by berms and have spill prevention and safety protection devices as mandated by the <br />appropriate regulatory authorities, Spill prevention and containment measures will be implemented <br />under the New Horizon Mine Spill Prevention Control and Counter-measure (SPCC) Plan. <br />Coal Handling Structures. WFC has no existing or proposed coal handling structures. The coal <br />from the mine pit is hauled in highway trucks to the power plant for processing and use. <br />• <br />(Revised July 2006) 2.05.3(3)-51 <br />
