The only difference will be that the longwall panels will <br />10,000 - 17,000 feet in length as opposed to the current ones of approximately <br />used to mine coal from the Eastern <br />be much longer, i.e. approximately <br />10,000 feet. <br />The existing surface facilities, including the bathhouse, offices, shops, coal stockpiling and handling systems, and <br />coal loadout will be used for mining coal from the Eastern Mining District. >n order to accommodate the panels in <br />the eastern district, a new dewatering facility will be constructed and three fans will be installed. One of these fans, <br />Zero Entry Fan, has been previously permitted. The location of these new systems is shown on Map 23, Mine Plan, <br />and also Maps 17 and 17A and Maps 18 and 18A, Premine Soils and Premine Vegetation, respectively. The plans <br />for these systems are presented in detail in the following sections. Only one of the new fan sites will require <br />construction activities in an undisturbed area. The fan site will be located at the east end of the 9 Right longwall <br />• panel between the 9 and 10 Right gateroads. At this site, two fans will be installed and the associated structures <br />will be constructed. <br />EMD (Panels 2 Right through 6 Right) (PR 97-04) ~~ <br />The same mining methods utilized in the Eastern Mining District (EMD) will be used to extract the coal from the <br />remainder of the EMD. The existing surface facilities, including the EMD ventilation sites, will be used for mining -1 <br />of coal in the new five-year permit area. Presently, no new surface facilities are planned in support of the mining <br />[ha[ is [o occur in the remainder of the EMD. . { <br />NMD (Panels 12 Right through 16 Right)(PR 99-OS) <br /> <br />l ~_ <br />The same mining method utilized in [he EMD will be used to extract coal from [he NMD, except that the face width % I <br />is increased to 1000'. The existing surface facilities, including the EMD ventilation site, will be used for mining of ~ <br />coal in the NMD permit area. <br />NMD - 14 Right Gateroad Alternate Location (MR O1-171) ~ `~ <br />Currently, TCC is in the process of evaluating if the 1000' wide face can be increased to approximately 1200 feet or <br />wider. The outcome of [he evaluation may limit the face width to something less than 1200 feet. The existing <br />surface facilities, including [he EMD ventilation site, will be used for mining of coal in the NMD permit area. <br />c" .Y~ <br /> <br /> <br />M R 01-17 I 2.05- I l 0 2/ 19/01 <br />
