The only difference will be that the longwall panels will be much longer, i.e. <br />approximately 10,000 - 17,000 feet in length as opposed to the current ones of approximately 10,000 feet. <br />• The existing surface facilities, including the bathhouse, offices, shops, coal stockpiling and handling systems, and <br />coal loadout will be used for mining coal from the Eastem and Northern Districts. In order to accommodate the <br />panels in the Eastem District, a new dewatering facility will be constructed and three fans will be installed. One of <br />these fans, the Zero Entry Fan, has been previously permitted. The location of these new systems is shown on Map <br />23, Mine Plan, and also Maps 17 and 17A and Maps 18 and 18A, Premine Soils and Premine Vegetation, <br />respectively. Plans for these systems are presented in detail in the following sections. Otily one of the new fan <br />sites will require construction activities in an undisturbed area. The fan site will be located at the east end of the 9- <br />Right longwall Panel between the 9- and 10-Right Gateroads. At this site, two fans will be installed and associated <br />structures will be constructed. <br />EMD (Panels 2-Right through 6-Right, PR97-04) <br />The same mining methods utilized in the Eastem Mining District (EMD) will be used to extract the coal from the <br />remainder of the EMD. The existing surface facilities, including the EMD ventilation sites, will be used for mining <br />of coal in the new five-year permit area. Presently, no new surface facilities are planned in support of the mining <br />that is to occur in the remainder of the EMD. <br />NMD (Panels 12-Right through-16 Righf, PR99-OS) <br />The same mining method utilized in the EMD will be used to extract coal from the NMD, except that the face width <br />is increased to 1,000-foot. The existing surface facilities, including the EMD ventilation site, will be used for <br />mining of coal in the NMD permit area. <br /> <br />PR06-07 2.05-11 05/10/06 <br />
