separator located over the BC-10] head pulley removes tramp iron from the coal stream. The magnet is moved <br />from its operating position to dump any collected tramp iron. <br />Conveyor BC-102 discharges into a steel stacking tube which forms a 5,000 ton open conical storage pile. The <br />design capacity of BC-102 is ],200 tons per hour. However, the amount of coal it will carry is a function of hovv <br />much coal the slope conveyor can deliver. <br />The expansion of the mine to ] 0 million tons per year, although this tonnage may increase if market conditions <br />warrant, will require additional conveyors and facilities, which will replace the above, to handle the increased <br />production. This will include increasing the size of the conveyors (all conveyors will have partial enclosures) to <br />handle the increased production. The existing transfer building will remain and another transfer building was <br />constructed to the south of the existing building. At this point a new conveyor belt was installed to convey coal to <br />the stacking tube/coal stockpile location. Also, a conveyor was installed to handle the waste rock generated <br />MR 01-173 2.05-24.1 09/19/01 <br />
