2.05.3(3) MINE FACILITIES <br />` A list of existing facilities at the Raton Creek Mine site is presented below. Each <br />building, structure, and utility corridor is listed along with a description of its <br />construction, use, maintenance, and proposed removal plan or postmining use. In addition, <br />each item is shown on one or more permit maps that are referenced within the item <br />description. <br />Additional information about specific facilities is found in Section 2.05.4, Reclamation <br />Plan, and in Section 2.05.5, Postmining Land Use. <br />Power Transmission Lines <br />The Mine substation has been removed, however, the high voltage transmission lines <br />remain. The transmission lines and poles are owned by San Isabel Power Company, <br />which will continue to operate and maintain the line. The transmission lines run along the <br />south side of the facility area, mostly outside of the disturbed azea. The location of the <br />transmission lines is shown on Map 12, Mine Site Water Systems and Refuse Area. <br />Concrete Pads <br />The two-tier concrete pad structure and connecting retaining walls provided the foundation <br />of the preparation plant. The pads are 8 to 12 inches thick and the walls are 10 inches <br />thick; all containing rebar and steel beam reinforcement. Tl~e lower pad measures 61 feet <br />wide by 8l feet long, and the upper pad is 41 feet wide by 81 feet long. There is a 20 <br />feet high wall connecting the lower pad to the upper pad, and a 14 feet high retaining wall <br />along the back edge of the upper pad. The concrete pads are situated in the center of the <br />facility area. Location of the pads is shown on Map 12, Mine Site Water Systems and <br />Refuse Area, and Figure 17-1, Reclamation Project 2 Plan. <br />Both pads have been cleaned of debris and modified for safe access. At the surface <br />owner's request, the concrete pads will remain. The pads will be used to store ranch <br />equipment, hay, and livestock feed, in conjunction with the postmining land use of <br />rangeland. <br /> <br />348 Revised (TR-17) January 1995 <br />{{P S/S/95 <br />
