Dump Hopper Facility: A truck dump with a 75-ton capacity conical steel hopper was <br />originally installed for haul trucks to dump run-of-mine coal into the coal handling <br />facility. With the train unloading and truck hauling system, the hopper dump will be used <br />as part of the coal handling system to transfer coal from the coal stockpile to the truck <br />loadout. A welded grizzly with 12-inch openings is located above the hopper. Am existing <br />36-inch wide reclaim belt conveyor receives coal from the dump hopper and feeds an existing <br />36-inch wide belt conveyor. The 36-inch belt conveyor discharges coal to a coal chute <br />located in the existing crusher building. <br />Crusher Building: The existing crusher building will be refurbished. The existing single- <br />ro11 crusher will be removed and a conical steel coal chute installed. The coal chute will <br />feed an existing 60-inch wide reclaim belt conveyor (refurbished and relocated from the <br />existing storage reclaim tunnel) that will elevate the coal to the top of the truck loading <br />facility. <br />Truck Loadout Building: When the Hayden Gulch Loadout facility was used to load unit trains <br />for mazket coal delivery, the loadout building was located over the railroad track. The <br />building will be refurbished and relocated under this operations plan. The loadout building <br />will be located neaz the existing steel stack tube. The steel stack tube and associated <br />concrete reclaim tunnel will be demolished. <br />Coal transported to the top of the loading facility is discharged into a 75-ton surge bin. <br />The bin is necessary to provide continuous loading and permit cutoff of coal flow between <br />tandem trailers. Continuous coal sampling is provided by an ASTM sampling system as coal is <br />discharged from the 60-inch wide elevating belt conveyor. A four-foot-square, air operated <br />guillotine gate was installed horizontally at the surge bin discharge opening. A <br />telescoping loading chute was provided for uniform loading of trailers and installed <br />indeaendently and below the guillotine gate. <br />Haul Road HGLF-HR2 will be constructed to allow haulage trucks a route through the loading <br />area. <br />Operation: Operation of all coal handling equipment is controlled from an operations cab <br />located at the truck loadout building. <br />Ancillary Facilities <br />A 24-foot by 62-foot mobile trailer was provided to house office and change house <br />facilities. The trailer is insulated, electrically heated, lighted and ventilated. Non- <br />potable water for the trailer is furnished from a well located two miles north of the <br />trailer (immediately southeast of the intersection of Highway 40 and Routt County Road 37). <br />A hydropneumatic system with a storage tank provides an adequate water supply at the <br />required pressure. <br />TR-06 18 Revised OS/OS <br />
