Revised 11/20/81 <br />lift is normally less than 6 inches. Small size results from the mining <br />operation and the operation of the Bradford Breaker itself. In <br />addition, compaction and placement of the lifts also tend to decrease <br />the size' of the material. Therefore, compaction of the material is <br />attained by routing the truck traffic over the spread and leveled areas. <br />coal Processing waste bank is sloped to a maximum slope of 2 horizontal <br />to 1 vertical. Completion of this grading process is by crawler <br />tractors. The gentle slope enhances the erosion control of the slope <br />and the subsequent reclamation of the coal processing waste bank. In <br />addition, the gentle slope increases the stability of the coal <br />processing waste bank over a long term period. <br />Material, other than coal processing waste which is generated by normal <br />operation of the Allen Mine, is disposed of in two separate ways. Trash <br />caste consisting of paper, cans, rags, and other assorted minor <br />industrial waste associated with general office, shop, and warehouse <br />areas is placed in dumpsters and hauled to the Las Animas County <br />Sanitary landfill for disposal. Other waste material such as machinery, <br />scrap iron, equipment, which has some salvage value, is placed in the <br />scrap storage area shown on the Mine Plan Map (Map 3). After the mining <br />operation is completed, and during the reclamation activities, material, <br />machinery, and other items left in the surface disposal scrap storage <br />area will be removed and disposed of at the local sanitary landfill or <br />other appropriate location. <br />Petroleum products which are used in the normal mining operation will be <br />collected and reclaimed where possible. Where rejuvenation of the <br />petroleum products is not possible, they will be sold to local petroleum <br />dealers as waste oil. Disposal of petroleum products which cannot be <br />sold or reclaimed will be disposed of offsite at the appropriate <br />sanitary landfill disposal site. <br />2.05-24 <br />
