~`'' <br />• The first aspect of the construction work for the facilities was <br />the removal of topsoil from areas to be used at the loadout <br />operation. Topsoil was placed into stockpiles strategically <br />located in stable areas to avoid both wind and water erosion, <br />unnecessary compaction and contamination. In addition, all <br />stockpiles are appropriately marked with a conspicuous sign made of <br />durable material. To further prevent erosion, temporary <br />revegetation of the stockpiles has been completed. <br />Coal Loadout Facility <br />The TCC Loadout consists of truck scales for the weighing of coal, <br />raw coal storage areas, flush mount truck dump belt feeder, 8' x <br />24' triple deck primary coal screen, 18" x 36" triple roll coal <br />crusher, 5' x 16' double deck secondary coal screen, rail car <br />loading bin, and rail car puller. Associated and support <br />facilities for the loadout consist of an office/house structure, <br />garage for storage of equipment, employee bath-house, two (2) small <br />warehouse buildings, truck fuel storage area, and three (3) story <br />control tower. <br />• A description of the operation of the TCC Loadout facility is as <br />follows: <br />> Coal is delivered to the Loadout Facility by highway <br />trucks from various independent coal mining operations <br />under contractual obligation to the Operator. Coal truck <br />ingress/egress to the loadout facility is via paved haul <br />road from old State Highway 133 to the loadout area. All <br />incoming coal is weighed on TCC truck scales prior to <br />receipt at the facility. <br />> A typical operating situation requires delivered coal to <br />be deposited directly into the truck dump bin. However, <br />on occasions when coal is not being processed (such as <br />for breakdown of processing equipment, lack of rail cars <br />. 2.05-2R <br />Rev. OS-27-93 <br />
