• 4.04 SUPPORT FACILITIES <br />The support facilities used at the mining operation, including the office, shop and warehouse <br />complex, the coal handling and loadout facilities, are shown on the Existing Structures.- <br />North Map (Map 21) and the Existing Structures -South Map (Map 22). Many of the support <br />structures were constructed at the mine start-up in 1976-1977. The complete discussion on all <br />the support facilities is found under Section ?.05.3. Detailed drainage and sediment control <br />has been developed for the mining operation as discussed in Section 2.05.3. All sediment <br />control measures have been designed to prevent damage to wildlife and other related <br />environmental values; also, sediment control structures have been designed to prevent <br />contributions of suspended solids to runoff outside the permit area in excess of the limitations <br />of both federal and state law. <br />As discussed throughout this submittal, Colowyo will conduct the surface mining activities in <br />a manner which will minimize impacts on the environment. <br />There are no operating oil or gas wells at or around the planned mine; likewise, there is no <br />coal slurry pipeline planned or around the mining area. The only operating railroad in the <br />vicinity of the mine is the Colowyo spur line that serves the operation. All White River <br />Electric power lines are located out of the actual mining area. Colorado-Ute Electric <br />Association has a power line in the path of future mining. Portions of this line will be <br />relocated as required. The Mountain Bell telephone lines are located at a distance from the <br />actual mining areas. All water and sewer lines located in the permit area serve the Colowyo <br />structures and are located away from the actual mining areas. <br />u <br />4.04-1 <br />
