• <br />2.06.9 AUGERING <br />EFCI does not plan to utilize auger mining to supplement or extend coal <br />recovery. Consequently, the provisions of this section are not applicable <br />to the Southfield Mine. <br />2.06.10 COAL PROCESSING PLANTS AND SUPPORT FACILITIES NOT LOCATED WITHIN <br />THE PERMIT AREA <br />The existing Southfield loadout, although located approximately seven (7) <br />miles from the mine area has been included in the Southfield permit area. <br />Appropriate environmental and operations/reclamation information for the <br />Southfield loadout has been included in this application. Therefore, the <br />provisions of this section are not applicable. <br />2.06.11 IN-SITU PROCESSING ACTIVITIES <br />EFCI has not and does not plan to conduct in-situ mining or processing <br />activities in conjunction with mining operations at the Southfield Mine. <br />Consequently, the provisions of this section are not applicable. <br />2.06.12 SURFACE COAL MINING AND RECLAMATION OPERATION REQUIREMENTS <br />INVOLVING THE REMOVAL OF COAL REFUSE PILES <br />The Southfield mine coal refuse stockpile is designed and constructed as <br />a disposal structure. No other refuse piles are located within the mine <br />plan area, with the exception of small gob and waste piles associated with <br />previous mining operations in the area. None of these is of sufficient <br />size to warrant coal recovery operations.
