• 4.8 mile long rail line to the mill in the upper Williams Fork River Valley for <br /> crushing and concentration. Henderson employs a total of 487 people at the <br /> mine and mill. <br /> As part of CMC's Henderson 2000 major capital improvement program, <br /> Henderson has determined that ore haulage to the mill using a conventional, <br /> head end drive conveyor system is more efficient and cost-effective than the <br /> present rail system, which has deteriorated and become inefficient. This <br /> amendment outlines the intended activities and rationale associated with <br /> reclamation of the PC3 Conveyor corridor that will be constructed as part of the <br /> Henderson 2000 Project at Henderson. <br /> The Henderson 2000 project consists of a plan to convert ore haulage using <br /> locomotives from the underground mine beneath Red Mountain to a conveyor <br /> • haulage system. Henderson 2000 employs an underground crushing operation <br /> with conveyance to the surface using a conveyor (PC2) to a transfer point <br /> situated along the existing Henderson railroad grade. PC3 continues from the <br /> terminus of PC2 along a new overland route to the Henderson Mill. <br /> The proposed Amendment to the Permit described herein seeks to increase the <br /> affected lands at the mill site to accommodate the PC3 Conveyor from the main <br /> haulage portal to the mill. The proposed Amendment adds 53.36 acres to the <br /> present 3534 acres within the permitted affected area. This additional acreage <br /> will allow for those portions of the conveyor that leave the presently permitted <br /> railroad bed and for construction of a road to access this part of the conveyor. <br /> This plan meets the required information submittals of the Minerals Rules and <br /> Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board (Rules) and <br /> z <br /> January 16,t996 <br /> Plan Ooc <br />
