• Rule 1: Permits Loadout Facility Ifthe market allows, coal will be shipped directly to customers without the need for washing during the fast permit term. A 7-acre stockpiling, blending, and railcar loading area is planned on the south side ofthe main Kern V al ley Railroad line, immediately east of the access road in Lorencito Canyon (Figure 2.05.3-15). Coal will be trucked to the area where it will be crushed and stored in open stockpiles for loading on rai I cars with front end loaders. Shipment will range fmm small, multi-caz to unit trains. Facilities at the site will include aportable office/lunch room and a 5000 gallon diesel storage tank. The facility will be constructed by tilling the area immediately south of the railroad and east ofthe access road with approximately 40,000 cy of clean fill to create a level pad. Vegetation and topsoil will be removed and topsoil stockpiled as required. Should markets dictate the need for washed coal or unit train loading, coal wil I be trucked to the Picketwire Processing Plant for processing and unit train loading. Signs and Markers Amine permit identification sign will be posted at the Highway 12 entrance to the LCC mine. The sign will show the name, address, and telephone number of the person responsible for conducting surface and undergroundmirting,andtheidentificationofthecw~rentpermitauthorizingtheoperations. Additionally, • a sign will be posted at the Highway 12 entrance which states "Warning! Explosives in Use", an explanation of the blast warning and all clear signals, and an explanation ofthe markings of blast areas and charged holes within the permit area. The permit perimeter will be marked with brightly painted posts. The posts wil I be placed at irregular intervals such that one post can be seen from the next one. Stream buffer zones will be delineated 100 feet on either side ofa perennial stream using rectangular signs labeled "Stream Buffer Zone No Disturbance Beyond this Sign" at an interval which can be seen from one sign to another. (4) Ponds, Impoundments and Diversions The general surface water and sediment control plan consists of the diversion of clean water around or through the site, and collection ditches which route runofffiom disturbed areas into sediment control ponds. All surface drainage from disturbed areas will be passed through either a sediment control structure, or controls put in place to prevent the effluent from the site from exceeding applicable State and Federal water quality requirements for downstream receiving waters. The surface water control plan is prepared under the direction of, and certified by a qualified registered professional engineer. All ditches have been designed according to Sections 4.03.1(4), 4.03.2(4), 4.05.3 and 4.09.2(7). Drainage ditches have been designed to pass the 10-year 24-hour storm event with 0.3' of freeboazd. Temporary ditches will be constructed to pass a minimum ofthe 2-year 24-hour storm. Surface runoff ditches from the fills on the surface mine will be designed to pass the 100-year 24-hour storm. Drainage • structures, along the roads and associated with the fills are shown on Map 2.05.3-2. General ditch cross- sections are provided in Figure 2.05.3-16.
