<br />Crushing, Handling and Loadout Facilities. The coal from the Coal Gulch <br />Mine will be transported from the mine via a conveyor. A conveyor will <br />discharge the coal into a crusher which will reduce the coal to an <br />approximate 2" size. Once crushed, the coal will be fed onto another <br />conveyor belt and discharged into a coal stockpile. The coal from the <br />stockpile will be loaded into highway trucks for transport to market. <br />The coal handling, crushing and Loadout diagram for the Ccal Gulch Mine <br />is shown on the Mine Facilities Map (Map 12). <br />Coal dust from the past coal crushing and Loadout facilities along Coal <br />Gulch has not been a problem because of infrequency of strong winds in <br />the vicinity of the planned Peerless Resources, Inc. operation. If coal <br />dust becomes a problem at the planned storage piles, the water truck <br />from the mine will be available for suppression. No thermal dryers are <br />to be used at the facilities. <br />Disturbance. Because Peerless Resources, Inc. will be mining coal from <br />an underground operation, the area of land affected for surface <br />operations and facilities within the permit area will be minimal. <br />Reclamation of the surface operations and facilities within the permit <br />area will commence as contemporaneously as possible after the mining <br />operation is completed. The mine water truck will be available to keep <br />any dusty conditions under control. Strong or excessive winds are not <br />commonplace in the vicinity of the planned operation; therefore, <br />planning of any special windbreak vegetation will not be undertaken. <br />Blasting. Because Peerless Resources, Inc. will be conducting an <br />underground mining operation, no surface blasting will be undertaken as <br />part of the operation. <br /> <br />MAR 0 4 1986 <br />2.05-38 <br />
