• NMD (Panels 12 Right through 16 Right' (PR 99-05) <br />The NMD will increase the affected area with the permit, i.e. area overlying longwall panels, <br />gateroads and mains, by 2,779.2 acres. The federal reserved to be mined in the area is presented <br />in Confidential table 6c, OSM, PRS, Federal Reserve Calculations. The area to be mined in the <br />NMD permit term is shown on Map 23 Mine Plan. The permit area is identified by [he color <br />coding used in creating the map. The mining layout will include longwall panels length up to <br />approximately 17,000 feet, longwall panel width of 1000 feet, and gateroad, and mine <br />development work as described in PR-03. The dimension of pillars in these development areas <br />may vary based upon mining conditions. Sumps and ventilation doglegs will be added as needed, <br />altfiough this location is not provided on Map 23 due to the variable location of these features. <br />During the NMD permit term, longwall mining will be conducted under [he Foidel and Fish <br />Creek AVF's, Fish Creek, the Union Pacific Railraod and two reservoirs owned by [he Ashleys. <br />A more detailed discussion of undermining these structures will be presented in a late section. <br />NMD - 14 Right Gateroad Alternate Location (MR 01-171) <br />Currently, TCC is in the process of evaluating if the 1000' wide face can be increased to <br />approximately 1200 feet or wider. The outcome of the evaluation may limit the face width to <br />something less than 1200 feet. The potential increase in face width will not impact the prior <br />/ federal reserve calculations because the 14 Right I,ongwall is not located in federal coal. <br />(3) Mine Facilities <br />• (a) A narrative and maps, to meet the standards prescribed in 2.10. <br />describint; the location, construction, modification, use, maintenance and removal of mine <br />facilities in the permit area includine all building, structures and utilit~orridors. <br />RESPONSE <br />The existing Foidel Creek Mine surface facilities consist of building structures, material handling <br />system, utilities, and surface areas as shown on Map 24, Surface Facilities. Untopsoiled areas <br />within the surface facilities area may be leveled and then utilized for additional storage. <br />Buildines <br />The mine administrative office is a 60 foot by 36 foot modular trailer structure, which has been <br />modified [o allow for [he cold weather and heavy snow load of the area. The administrative <br />structure contains I 1 offices for the mine staff. As the mine expands, a new office bathhouse ~ <br />complex will be built to replace the modular trailers, as indicated on Map 24, Surface Facilities. <br />[n the interim, another administrative office has been added for mine staff. The 36 foot by 56 ; <br />foot trailer will be located west of the original administrative office. The trailer will contain a <br />bathroom and will be hooked up [o the existing septic and water systems. Electrical power will ~~ _ <br />be supplied to the trailer by a transformer located on the east side of the trailer. The location is ~_ <br />shown on Map 24, Surface Facilities. In 1995, a temporary office trailer with dimensions of 24' <br />x 66' x 12' was leveled and blocked south of the administration building. There were no <br />. water and sewer hook-ups, and a 40' long buried conduit brought in power from an existing ~ ~~ = <br />APPRaV~D ` - ``.Z 0 2 2001 <br />MR 01-171 2.05-17.2 02/19/01 <br />
