Section 816.57 (c) Continued. <br />.' <br />Section 7, T4N, R86W; 4) SW1/4 of NWl/4, Section 32, TSN, R86W; and <br />5) NE1/4 of SE1/4, Section 29, TSN, R86Y:. The main loading tipple <br />at Energy Mine No. 1 is an existing structure as described in <br />Section 780.12, and all drainage from the tipple facility will pass <br />through sedimentation ponds B and C identified on the Energy Ptines <br />No. 1 and 2 Hydrology (Map 13). Therefore, the location of the <br />above mentioned facilities within stream buffer zones will have no <br />adverse effects on water quantity or quality in the mine plan area. <br />Stream buffer zones will be located and marked in the field with <br />appropriate conspicuous signs according to the designated areas on <br />the Energy Plines No. 1 and 2 Mine Plan (Afap 1) and Eckman Park Mine <br />Plan (Flap 2). <br />Section 816.59 Coal F.ecovery. <br />Surface mining activities shall be conducted so as to maximize the utili- <br />• nation and conservaticn of the coal, whil=_ utilizing the best aoorcpriate <br />- technology currently available to maintain enaircnmental integrity, so <br />that reaffecting the land in the future through surface coal riving <br />operations is minimized, <br />Energy Fuels employs detailed and current engineering designs for <br />planning all surface mining activities in order to maximize coal <br />recovery. <br />Engineered mine planning eliminates coal fender. Pit widths are <br />designed to minimize or eliminate rib loss. A fleet of small <br />trucks and a small loader are contracted to recover the coal re- <br />maining along the edge of the spoils which the larger coal loading <br />equipment cannot recover without contaminating coal with the spoil <br />material. Auger mining, which is a relatively new concept in <br />western mining, is proposed in this application to reduce coal <br />. losses in areas where topography prohibits stripping activities. <br />816-69 <br />
