Storage Buildine <br />The covered storage building is contiguous to the concrete pads and was similarly part of <br />the preparation plant structure. This building is constructed of concrete walls and Floor, <br />and steel beams supporting a steel roof. The building measures 44.5 feet long, 43.5 feet <br />wide, and 20 feet high. The floor is 17 inches thick, and the walls are 12 to 14 inches <br />thick. The location of storage building is shown on Map 12, Mine Site Water Systems and <br />Refuse Area and Figure 17-1, Reclamation Project 2 Plan. <br />The building has been modified to provide full access at ground level. Three openings <br />were cut into the east wall to accommodate access of mobile equipment. The surface <br />owner requested retention of the building with the above modifications. The storage <br />building will be used to store ranch equipment and hay in conjunction with postmining <br />land use of rangeland. <br />Steel Water Tank <br />A cylindrical steel tank of 150,000 gallon capacity was used to store water for mining <br />operations. The tank is 24 feet high constructed of 3/8 inch thick steel. The tank rests on <br />a sand and gravel foundation. It is located above the former site of the preparation plant <br />• and is higher than any point in the mine yard area. The location of the tank is shown on <br />Map 12, Mine Site Water Systems and Refuse Area and Figure 17-1, Reclamation Project <br />2 Plan. <br />At the request of landowner the tank will be retained. The tank is fed by a 4 inch water <br />line connected to a wcll owned by the surface owner. The water from this tank will be <br />used for livestock watering in conjunction with postmining land use of rangeland. <br />Water Line <br />A four-inch diameter water line was installed in the facility area to carry water from the <br />water well in Starkville to the water tank referenced above. The water line is equipped <br />with anti-siphon valves in a covered manhole located in the northwest portion of the <br />facility area. The water line traverses the facility in an east-west alignment, leaving the <br />disturbed area boundary near the northwest corner of the refuse pile. The location of the <br />water line corridor is shown on Map 12, Mine Sitc Water Systems and Refuse Area. <br /> <br />349 Revised (TR-17) January 1995 <br />
