disturbed drainage and allow for NPDES compliance prior to discharge. Sediment <br />will be periodically removed from the sedimentation pond to ensure proper <br />functioning of the pond. The sediment removed from the pond will be placed in <br />the sediment storage pile. Annually, during the summer months, a portion or all <br />of the sediment pile will be spread over the Bite to improve drainage and to keep <br />the size of the pile at approximately 1500 tons. Interim revegetation of road <br />cute, berme, and the topsoil stockpiles will further minimize wind and water <br />erosion. <br />Raw coal from haulage trucks or from the raw coal stockpile ie dumped into an <br />enclosed, underground feeder. The coal is then conveyed to appropriate screens <br />for size separation and crushed if necessary. The product coal is then either <br />loaded directly into rail care or placed in an appropriate stockpile for later <br />loading. Product coal includes lump, stoker, and fines. Limited coal crushing <br />is performed at the loadout. Crushing, conveying and loadout operations will be <br />equipped with a water spray system to control duet. <br />Final reclamation will entail removal of some facilities, grading to restore the <br />site to approximate original contour, topsoil replacement, and seeding with <br />adapted pasture grasses. Facilities to remain after reclamation include the <br />office, garage, wooden building adjacent to the office, a portion of the paved <br />haul road and all of the gravel access road. The aiding tract may remain if it <br />is sold to the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. Heasurea will be taken <br />to ensure that the water holding capacity and drainage characteristics of the <br />reclaimed elope are comparable to pre-mining conditions. <br />Terror Creek Loadout Page 6 <br />
