The operation of the Facility will integrate with the
inactive Keenesburg Coal Mine and the existing Coors Ash
Disposal Facility.
The Facility has been located and designed to be compatible
with surrounding agricultural and heavy industrial land
uses. It will be carefully constructed, operated and
maintained to assure the protection of the environment
surrounding the Facility.
