Colorado Mined Land Reclamation 1313 Sherman Street Denver, CO 80203-2273 .~--H*C ICAL RE: Iii-rrer Revision Request No. ~~~~r~~~ o~c zz ~eeo MINED L,gNp Division RECLAMATION DIVISION ~'l, New Elk Mine C-81-012 Dear Mr. Keffelew: As per discussions with yourself and Mr. Waldron, Wyoming Fuel Company (WFC) is requesting a minor revision to construct a temporary truck dump and conveyor. This temporary arrangement is urgently needed to provide WFC a means of handling spec coal trucked from the Golden Eagle Mine. The truck dump approved as part of TR-16 will still be constructed to more effectively handle raw coal conveyed to the plant feed stockpile area. The spec coal conveyor proposed in TR-16 will not be constructed due to higher than expected construction costs. The temporary truck dump and conveyor proposed is illustrated on the attached site plan and described below. Truck Dump The truck dump will be constructed from structural steel which will allow truck crossover and dumping into an 18-ton hopper. The approach and exit ramps will be constructed from compacted earth fill identical to the truck dump approved in TR-16. The design dimensions of the dump structure are 14' long X 12' wide X 9' high or a total of 1512 cubic feet. Conveyor to Transfer Buildin4 Coal which is of customer quality will be conveyed via a 42" conveyor from the truck dump to the existing transfer building. Once inside the building a transfer chute will place the coal on the existing silo conveyor. Civil improvements to the area will again include excavation, fill and grading of areas to accommodate the truck dump ramps and maintain the approved Surface Water Control Plan.
