for loading, etc.) coal will be stockpiled in raw coal storage areas within the facility. <br />Raw coal stockpiles will be maintained at adequate levels to insure continuing <br />operations during times when direct truck coal feed through the truck dump is not <br />available, <br />• The screening process involves the separation of various sizes within the raw coal, <br />dependent upon customer demand and requirement. Generally three (3) products are <br />made at the TCC facility; stoker, lump, and fines. On a typical basis, as received coal <br />typically contains approximately 5 percent fines, 85 percent stoker, and 15 percent <br />lump. Coal obtained from the Oxbow Mining, LLC operation is pre-screened to <br />reduce the amount of fines. <br />• Limited coal crushing is performed at the loadout facility. After initial size <br />separation, only that portion of the coal larger than required for customer shipment is <br />crushed. Total percentage coal crushed during a typical year has been less than ten <br />(10 percent total coal shipped. <br />• More than 85 percent of all cal sized at the TCC facility is directly loaded Into rail <br />cars at the time of screening for shipment to customers. The remaining portion of <br />sized coal, primarily stoker and lump, is stockpiled adjacent to the screening pants for <br />shipment by truck. Loading of trucks is done by front-end loader. <br />• During September of 1993 a truck loadout bin was installed on the site to facilitate <br />the selling of domestic stoker coal. The loadout bin is filled with afront-end loader. <br />Use of the loadout bin allows pickups and small trucks to be loaded efficiently. <br />• During February 2006, the original at-grade truck scale was replaced with an <br />elevated, portable, 3-segment, flatbed scale with duel approach ramps. Total actual <br />scale length is approximately 70 Feet with the elevated running surface located 3.5' <br />above surrounding ground level. The scale is supported by four sets of movable <br />concrete blocks: one set of blocks is located under each approach ramp and two <br />2'x3'x12' blocks support the center segment of the scale. The old truck scale inner <br />workings and running surface were removed and filled with gravel and the remaining <br />below grade concrete box was used to support the new scale. <br />The layout and location of facilities at the TCC loadout are shown on the Facilities Map <br />(Map 5). The flowsheet of the operation is included with this application as Loadout Facility <br />Flowsheet (Map 6). <br />~2aD6 MiDTE21'~~ <br />MR-24 2.05 - 2Ra Rev. 3/06 <br />ldPPRo'v60 <br />~r~~y~o6 <br />
