Scrapers and bulldozers would remove as much of the upper <br />overburden as possible. Unweathered overburden would be <br />blasted prior to removal. Blast holes would be drilled with <br />rotary drills to the top of each seam. Drill holes diame- <br />ters and spacing would be leaded with ammonium nitrite-fuel <br />oil mixture (AldFO) and detonated sequentially with electric <br />blasting caps, primacord, and primers. All blasting wou'_d <br />comply with OS:4 regulations. Overburden would be removed by <br />the aforementioned trucks and shovel. <br />After the overburden removal, the coal would be cleaned, <br />drilled, blasted, and loaded with front-end loaders into <br />trucks and hauled to the existing Pit ?3 tipple. <br />. Reclamation would proceed in succession with the xining. <br />For a more detailed description of reclamation procedures, <br />see the reclamation section of coal lease application <br />c-z26uu. <br />The proposed operations would utilize the existing surface <br />support facilities of Energy Fuels. These include offices. <br />shop, warehouse, bathhouse, tipple, unit train loadout, <br />power supply, and domestic water and sewer. No additional <br />facilities could be required. <br />Haulage roads would be primarily within the pit and move <br />downdip with pit advance. Construction of a haulage road <br />u <br />25 <br />
