eh <br />ESPEY, HUSTON b ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />• <br />For the first five yeazs of operation, coal will be transported from within <br />the mine by conveyor belt. The coal will pass under aself-cleaning magnet to <br />remove any tramp iron and then be dumped into a surge bin. The coal will be <br />withdrawn from this bin and screened. The sized coal will dump onto one of two <br />belts, arum-of-mine belt or a stoker belt. The over-sized coal will be crushed and <br />dumped onto the run-of-mine belt. The undersized coal will also be dumped onto the <br />run-of-mine belt. These belts will transport the coal to truck loading bins or to an <br />open stock pile. The coal will then be loaded into highway trucks to be hauled to the <br />rail loading point or other destination. <br />It may become necessary at any time to install a rotary breaker between <br />the mine portal and the surge bin. This would be used to size the coal and to remove <br />rock or other unbreakable material. The refuse from this breaker will be hauled by <br />• rubber-tired haulers to the refuse dump. <br />3.4 BUII.DINGS AND OTHER NON-COAL HAULING STRUCTURES <br />Bath houses and offices, a shop and supply yards Presently <br />exist at both the Northern No. 1 (FF Seam) Mine and the Rienau No. 2 <br />(G Seam) Mine.
