Permit Application for Rapid Rail Loadout <br />• The present preparation plant and rail Loadout has historically <br />shipped up to 1,300,000 tone per year.* A shortage of conventional rail <br />cars requires that P6M ship by "unit train." Since the present system <br />cannot load a unit train, it is necessary to build a new rapid Loadout <br />adjacent to, and immediately north of the present plant, <br />•_ The old rail Loadout will be abandoned except for shipping 10,000 <br />tons per year for the local domestic market. The new system will use <br />all of the old system except the present rail Loadout. <br />A crusher, screen (for local domestic market only) conveyors, 12'~ <br />thousand ton storage silo, surge bin, weigh bin and loading facilities <br />for a continually-moving unit train vill be added. <br />The attached calculations show that total particulate emissions <br />from the new plant will be less than the old plant. <br />• <br />. *It is "grand-fathered" and did not need a permit to construct. <br />REVISED 7/81 2 p <br />
