Coal lazger than 2" X 0" is processed through a crusher and passed onto the sample building belt. A 2,000 gallon <br />• diesel fuel tank and shelter is located on the northeast comer of the primary crusher building to allow equipment <br />refueling. <br />In the secondary crushing building another screening process was added for producing stoker coal ('h" to 1 %," <br />product). The stoker coal is passed onto the stoker belt, which exits the building and dumps the stoker coal into a <br />stockpile or into a haul truck. All of the belt transfer points located inside of the building are controlled by the <br />existing baghouse. A stoker oil tank is located next to the buildings and the oil is sprayed onto the coal before it is <br />stockpiled. The locations of the stockpile/truck loading areas and the oil tank are shown on Map 24. The stoker oil <br />is piped along the product belt structure and applied to the stoker coal as the coal leaves the belt. CYCC's loadout <br />site was constructed within the disturbed area between the processing facilities and the railroad tracks. The site was <br />excavated down to the elevation of the tracks. If needed, a ramp will be built up to accommodate loading of the <br />cars. The site will be approximately 150' X 300' X 6'. It is anticipated that about 10,000 yd' will be excavated <br />from the site. <br />Some of the excavated material will be placed east of the site near the railroad tunnel and road. This will allow for <br />improved drainage from this area around the site within the disturbed area. The drainage from this area will <br />continue to drain into the existing sediment pond. The site may be covered with rock to facilitate operations during <br />wet weather. The location of the site is shown on Map 24. <br />The sale of stoker coal is facilitated by a truck scale located north of thc Facility Tech offices (located in the <br />northwestern comer of the main administrative office building). The scale has a 70' x 10' x 0.5' platform within a <br />90' x 12' x 5' x 1' concrete vault. A buried 50' long 110 v. conduit provides power. <br />The coal is conveyed into the sampling building where it is passed through the sampling unit. From this point the <br />• coal is transferred to the stacker tube belt which transfers it into the stacker tube. The coal is discharged from the <br />stacker tube through a series of doors and forms a product stockpile around the stacking tube. <br />Originally, the stockpiled coal was fed by gravity through feeders to the train loading facility. During loading, the <br />train backs through the tunnel under the stockpile and follows the track around Pinnacle Peak. The location of the <br />track is shown on Map 24. However, the Batch Weigh L,oadout replaced this system and it presently remains idle. <br />TCC drilled a limited number of shallow holes in the area of the Tipple to allow final design to proceed for a <br />conveyor belt out back. <br />A total of approximately seven 4" diameter holes were drilled radiating from a point adjacent to the secondary <br />crusher outward to the R-O-M stockpile to the south/southwest. Holes were drilled by means of an auger rig, and <br />vary in depth from 20 and 60 feet. Holes were drilled within the confines of the previously disturbed azea, and no <br />topsoil disturbance was involved with this work. If no aquifers are intercepted, the holes will be backfilled with the <br />cuttings from the hole. In the event an aquifer is interoepted, the hole will be sealed using a grout plug in the aquifer <br />zone and then will be backfilled to the surface with cuttings. <br />TCC is requested a revision to allow the construction of a conveyor belt, drive structure, belt take-up, and control <br />building which will move coal from the secondary crusher building out to the ROM coal pile. The location of the <br />belt, drive structure, and control building is denoted on Map 24 (Surface Facilities). The belt and associated items <br />were constructed within a previously disturbed area, and were located within the existing drainage control system. <br />As such, there were no topsoil activities associated with the revision, and no significant drainage modifications will <br />be required. <br />Construction of the belt utilized the existing secondary crusher building for the tailpiece assembly and tail support, <br />and entailed the construction of two bents and an elevated drive structure for support of the main 48" <br />APPR®VE~ APR 2 ~ 2000 <br />Permit Renewal No. 3 2.05-33 12/10/98 <br />
