Seismograah Blasting -There will be no seismograph blasting conducted on the mine site. <br />Blasting Schedule -Before beginning a blasting program in which blasts using more than five pounds of <br />explosives are detonated, BME and its contractors will publish a blasting schedule at least 10 days <br />but no more than 20 days before beginning the blasting program, The blasting schedule will be <br />published in the local newspaper. Copies of the schedule will be distributed by mail to local <br />governments and public utilities and it will be republished and distributed every 12 months if blasting <br />continues in accordance with Rule 4.08.3 of the regulations. <br />The schedule will contain the following: <br />1. Specific areas in which blasting will occur. <br />2. Dates and times of detonation. <br />3. Methods used to secure blasting area. <br />4. Types of audible warning and all-clear signals. <br />5. Description of blasting at times other than those described in the schedule. <br />6. Public notice of changes in the blasting schedule. <br />7. Before blasting in areas or at times not in a previous schedule, a revised schedule will be <br />prepared and published. <br />IV.C Coal Processing, Transportation and Storage Facilities <br />Coal is conveyed from the mine to a central processing/storage area to be washed and then conveyed <br />to a train loadout/storage area to await shipment to the power plant. This section describes the surface <br />infra-plant transportation, processing and storage facilities. <br />N.C.1 Conveyors Intro-plant conveyors are sized to transport 6" x 0 run-of-mine (ROM) coal at the <br />maximum anticipated mine production rate which will be required to supply an 800-MW power plant <br />consisting of lwo 400-MW units. <br />Conveyor BC-101 delivers underground coal from the bottom of the "D" Portal into the 150-ton surge bin <br />located adjacent to the portal entry. (Map 15). Conveyor BC-101 is designed to handle mine surges. <br />A vibrating feeder under the surge bin loads up to 1500 TPH on Conveyor BC-102. This conveyor is <br />160 feet long and feeds into the rotary breaker. <br />Conveyor BC-103 transports coal from the rotary breaker to the raw coal silos. Vibrating feeders reclaim <br />coal from the raw coal silos and load it onto Conveyors BC-105 and BC-106 which transport coal to the <br />preparation plant. Conveyor BC-108 transports coal from the pre?oration plant to the sampling buildinn. <br />Mine Permit Renewal #3 (Rev. 8/99) IV-7 <br />
