The mine belt transfers the coal onto a stacker <br />belt. The stacker belt is 28 feet above the ground. The stacker belt serves <br />two functions. Primarily it dumps the coal directly onto a stockpile. If <br />the mine had mined rock (or other non-coal material), the stacker belt can <br />• divert this material from the coal stockpile into a rock chute and onto another <br />stockpile. From the coal stockpile, the coal is loaded into trucks with <br />loaders. The trucks haul the coal to a loadout facility or to a customer. <br />Drawing 2.05.3(7)-2 is a typical flowsheet of coal handling. <br />Grand Mesa Coal Company is proposing to have a belt structure stmilar to <br />the one presently used in the Red Canyon #1 Mine for the proposed #2 Mine. <br />A concrete pad will be located outby the portal for the belt drive and take <br />up. Supports will extend the belt out beyond the drive and above the yard. <br />The belt will be approximately 430 feet long. <br />116 (Revised 2-26-88) <br />
