This shaft will become the new intake air and emergency ~, <br />escape shaft. The emergency escape hoist and building at the <br />existing Apache shaft will be relocated to the new shaft. The <br />area will be graveled and will be surrounded by a cyclone <br />fence. The existing Apache shaft will be converted to an <br />exhaust air shaft by installing a fan and fan house. No riew <br />power lines need to be constructed as power for the new shaft <br />will be brought up from underground and an adequate substsition <br />exists at the existing Apache Canyon shaft. <br />Reclamation of the new air shaft will occur after the' mine <br />is finished operating. The shaft collar will be sealed b}~ <br />installing a bulkhead over the shaft opening. At this time, <br />CF&I anticipates that this bulkhead will be of steel or <br />reinforced concrete construction. The fence, escape hoist; and <br />building will be removed, topsoil replaced, and the area <br />revegetated in accordance with permit conditions. <br />Very little surface disturbance will be necessary for the <br />construction of this shaft. CF&I personnel have reviewed this <br />site closely during the planning stages and nothing of an <br />archeological or historical nature has been observed. <br />DWZ/as <br />AEpLHL <br />4-12-82 <br />~ ~~,~ti '~ <br />~~\~~ <br />
