measures at the coal crushing handling and loadout facilities have been approved by the <br />• Colorado Department of Health, Air Pollution Control Division. <br />Colowyo maintains several areas for coal storage near the shop facilities and also near the <br />Gossard Loadout. Inactive storage piles have been sloped, compacted and sealed with a <br />chemical crusting agent to prevent wind erosion and spontaneous combustion. If coal dust <br />becomes troublesome in the active coal storage piles, a mobile water truck with a high <br />pressure pump and nozzle is available for dust suppression. <br />No thermal dryers are used in the coal crushing and handling facilities <br />Disturbance <br />Colowyo, in as much as practical, minimizes the area of land disturbed at any one time. <br />Topsoil is removed only to the extent necessary to accommodate the mining operations. <br />Through the mine plan, the rehandling of both topsoil and overburden is kept to a minimum. <br />Reclamation of disturbed areas will commence as contemporaneously as possible. <br />As necessary, mobile water truck will be assigned to work in topsoil or overburden removal <br />operations to keep any dusty conditions under control. Planting of special windbreak <br />vegetation in the permit area is not planned. <br />B I astin <br />• Sequential blasting is utilized as a standard practice to reduce the amount of unconfined <br />particulate matter produced. <br />Complete blasting information is set forth in Section 2.05.3 and Sections 4.08.1 through <br />4.08.6. <br /> <br />2.05-64 <br />
