n <br />application, to allow construction of the proposed permanent <br />refuse. pile, to obtain permit approval, and to respond to <br />issues raised in the CMLRD's December 17, 1984 letter. <br />1.3 Refuse Disposal Facility <br />The refuse disposal facility will be located in Section 16, <br />Township 13 South, Range 90 West of the 6th Principal Meri- <br />dian, Gunnison County, Colorado. Approximately the eastern <br />half of the refuse disposal facility will be located above <br />the existing underground mine. The final refuse development <br />plan, as shown on drawing No. MG-R-C-001, will cover <br />approximately 40 acres. <br />At present, it is estimated that 150,000 tons of refuse will <br />be produced during the first year of operation (1985-86) and <br />100,000 tons per year for subsequent years. The refuse <br />material will primarily consist of coarse coal reject and <br />developmental waste rock. <br />It is estimated that the final development plan will accom- <br />modate a total volume of approximately 5 million tons of <br />refuse with an average density of 90 pcf. Based on a pro- <br />jected refuse production rate of 100,000 tons per year, the <br />life of the refuse disposal facility will be 50 years. <br />C~ <br />J <br />• <br />2 <br />
