Rule 2: Permits Loadout Facility If the market allows, coal will be shipped directly to customers without the need for washing during the permit term. • A 7-acre stockpiling. blending. and railcar loading azea is planned on the south side of the main Kern Valley Railroad line, immediately east of the access road in Lorencito Canyon (Figure 2.05.3-1). Coal will be trucked to the azea where it will be crushed and stored in open stockpiles for loading on rail cars with front-end loaders. Shipment will range from small, multi-car to unit vains. Facilities at the site ma}' include a portable officeAunch room and a diesel storage tank. The facility gill be constructed by filling the area immediately south of the railroad and east of the access road with up to 5,000 cY of clean fill to create a level pad. Vegetation and topsoil adll be removed and topsoil stockpiled as required. Should markets dictate the need for washed coal, coal v<~11 be transported by rail to the Picketwire Processing Plant for processing and unit vain loading. Signs and Markers A mine permit identification sign HRII be posted at the Highway 12 envance to the LCC mine. The sign µn11 show the name, address. and telephone number of the person responsible for conducting surface and underground mining, and the identification of the current permit authorizing the operations. Additionally, a sign will be posted at the Highway 12 envance which states "Warning! Explosives in Use", an explanation of the blast warning and all clear signals, and an explanation of the markings of blast areas and charged holes within the permit area. The permit perimeter will be marked with brightly painted posts. The posts v«ll be placed at irregulaz intervals such that one post can be seen from the next one. SVeam buffer zones will be delineated 100 feet on either side of a perennial sveam using rectangular signs labeled "Stream Buffer Zone" at an interval which can be seen from one sign to another. • (4) Ponds, Impoundments and Diversions The general surface water and sediment control plan consists of the diversion of clean water azound or through the site, and collection ditches which route runoff from disturbed areas into sediment control ponds. All surface drainage from disturbed areas will be passed through either a sediment convol structure, or controls put in place to prevent the effluent from the site from exceeding applicable State and Federal water quality requirements for downsveam recei~~ng waters. The surface water convol plan is prepared under the direction of, and certified by a qualified registered professional engineer. All ditches have been designed according to Sections 4.03.1(4), 4.03.2(4), 4.05.3 and 4.09.2(7). Drainage ditches have been designed to pass the 10-yeaz 24-hour storm event with 0.3' of freeboazd. Temporary ditches will be constructed to pass a minimum of the Z-year 24-hour storm. Side collection ditches from the fills on the surface mine will be designed to pass the 100- year 24-hour storm. Drainage structures at the portals, along the roads and associated with the fills are shown on Map 2.05.3-2. General ditch cross-sections are provided in Figure 2.05.3-16. Support design documentation are provided in Exhibit 15. • 2.05-30 (Revised 7/28/03)
