2.05 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SURFACE OR VNDERGROUND MINING ACTIVITIES - <br />MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION AND RECLAMATION PLANS. <br />• The overhead conveyor and stacker for coal ground storage was <br />necessary to stockpile and load coal from the portable crushing <br />and screening facility into trucks for transport to the existing <br />train load-out. The portable crushing and screening facility is <br />no longer in place, reclaimed in 1993, at the West Mine <br />facilities. <br />A sedimentation pond as described in Section 2.05.3 (4) was <br />constructed using standard earthwork methods to minimize impact <br />to the hydrologic regime. The pond area was backfilled during <br />2000. Two new ponds were constructed to replace this pond. <br />To provide water to the West Mine for firefighting, underground <br />water and domestic needs, a water pipeline and storage tank was <br />installed. The 4" diameter PVC pipeline was buried from the <br />existing Steven's Gulch well field along an existing jeep trail <br />to the West Mine. This pipe line will be left in place and <br />abandoned. The disturbance created by the installation of this <br />pipeline was fully reclaimed during construction. <br />A 200,000 gallon water tank of conventional welded steel plate <br />type construction on a reinforced concrete foundation was con- <br />structed approximately 1,200 feet north of the mine site. This <br />water tank remains in place. <br />A steel chute approximately 9 feet wide at the widest point was <br />• constructed above the underground conveyor belt between the <br />2,000 ton surge bin and the rotary crusher at the East Mine, for <br />use with the West Mine coal production. This chute and the <br />associated conveyor belt has been reclaimed during 2001. <br /> <br />Permit Renewal - 10 - 01/03 <br />RN-o4 (4~9~oN~ <br />/Y1R-106 <br />
