Operations <br />1. The above ground waste oil tanks within the earthen <br />containment berm has been eliminated. A concrete containment <br />structure for a waste oil tank will be constructed adjacent to the <br />oil house building. The containment structure will be sized to <br />also contain approximately ten 55 gallon barrels. This structure <br />will act as waste oil as well as empty barrel storage. Waste oil <br />and empty barrels will be removed as needed. By situating the <br />storage area adjacent to the building, this should eliminate stray <br />barrels from not being stored in bermed areas. <br />2. Please refer to Mr. Ron Thompson's response in the letter <br />dated November 1, 1993 to the Division. <br />3. Air particulates will be maintained within compliance <br />levels through various means. A conveyor belt curtain has been <br />added to the raw coal stacker to reduce the amount of coal fines <br />blown as the coal drops from the end of the stacker belt. Haul <br />roads will be watered as needed to help control road dust. Long <br />term coal stockpiles will have dust suppressant or binders applied <br />as needed. Haul trucks will have the dust guards installed to <br />reduce dust loss during transport. <br />
