z-11 <br />• Flight No. 1 picks up coal from the mine, parallels the haul <br />road for approximately 1,500 feet, then crosses the haul road <br />and discharges onto Flight No. 2. The conveyor will be located <br />on the outside edge of the haul road where possible, and cross <br />under the haul road when necessary. A small area will be <br />leveled to provide a route for the conveyor where necessary. <br />This disturbance will be reclaimed immediately. The belt drive <br />will be located near the road as shown in Figure 2.2-8.55 so <br />that maintenance of motors and take-ups may be accomplished <br />easily. <br />The second flight of conveyor will accept coal from the first <br />and transfer it to the third conveyor. Its route can be seen <br />on Figures 2.2-8.3S through 2.2-8.SS. Two crossings of Munger <br />Creek must be made. In these areas, as well as those areas <br />where small ephemeral drainages are crossed, adequate protection <br />will be provided to insure that no coal will enter the drainage. <br />The protection will be to enclose the conveyor in a culvert or <br />box so that coal sloughing off bottom idlers can be contained <br />until routine maintenance cleans it up. Along all other sec- <br />tions of the conveyor, coal will be cleaned up when necessary <br />as good housekeeping practices dictate. <br />The third flight of conveyor out of Munger Canyon will start <br />near the sediment ponds, cross the haul road and Munger Creek <br />and dump into a rotary breaker near the stockpile. Adequate <br />protection for spilled coal will once again be provided where <br />the conveyor crosses Munger Creek. This flight of conveyor <br />will require two hillside cuts which are shown in Figure 2.2- <br />8.SS. Since no actual geophysical or geotechnical testing has <br />been performed in these two areas, a conservative approach was <br />taken in designing these cuts. Although field inspections have <br />shown that, in both cuts, rock outcrops will be encountered in <br />• the upper portions, slopes were conservatively designed at <br />1.SH:1V to comply with CMLR requirements for cuts in unconsoli- <br />dated material. <br />1/17/83 <br />
