S~~- II I IIIIIIIIIIIII Ill Doc Date:1211112001 <br />4.04 SUPPORT FACILITIES <br />The support facilities used at the mining operation, including the <br />office, shop and warehouse complex, the coal handling and loadout <br />facilities, are shown on the Existing Structures - North Map (Map <br />21) and the Existing Structures - South Map (Map 22). Many of the <br />support structures were constructed at the mine start-up in <br />1976-1977. The complete discussion on all the support facilities <br />is found under Section 2.05.3. Detailed drainage and sediment <br />control has been developed for the mining operation as discussed in <br />Section 2.05.3. All sediment control measures have been designed <br />to prevent damage to wildlife and other related environmental <br />values; also, sediment control structures have been designed to <br />prevent contributions of suspended solids to runoff outside the <br />permit area in excess of the limitations of both federal and state <br />law. <br />As discussed throughout this submittal, Colowyo will conduct the <br />surface mining activities in a manner which will minimize impacts <br />on the environment. <br />• There are no operating oil or gas wells at or around the planned <br />mine; likewise, there is no coal slurry pipeline planned or around <br />the mining area. The only operating railroad in the vicinity of <br />the mine is the Colowyo spur line that serves the operation. All <br />White River Electric power lines are located out of the actual <br />mining area. Colorado-Ute Electric Association has a power line in <br />the path of future mining. Portions of this line will be relocated <br />as required. The Mountain Bell telephone lines are located at a <br />distance from the actual mining areas. All water and sewer lines <br />located in the permit area serve the Colowyo structures and are <br />located away from the actual mining areas. <br /> <br />4.04-1 <br />
