More <br />detailed changes will be reflected in the McClane Canyon Permit <br />when Salt Creek addresses the permit terms for that mine cover- <br />ing years 4 through 9. <br />2.3.3.2 Coal Sizing <br />Current contract obligations call for producing up to 2.8 mil- <br />lion tons per year of 2 x O inch coal. To properly size the <br />8 x 0 inch coal coming from the mines, Salt Creek proposes <br />to use a rotary breaker to tumble the oversize material, break- <br />ing it against itself until it is the proper size. The majority <br />of small (2 x 0 inch) coal coming from the mine will be removed <br />with a pre-screen inby the rotary breaker. This configuration <br />will reduce the amount of fugitive dust emissions from the <br />breaker by reducing throughput. <br />• Over the life of the mine, it is anticipated that approximately <br />840,000 tons of refuse will be discharged from the rotary breaker. <br />This refuse will be disposed of in the refuse disposal area <br />discussed in Section 2.4. <br />2.3.3.3 Coal Storage and Stockpile Locations <br />After coal is properly sized, it will be stored in the stockpile <br />area shown on Figure 2.2-15. Coal from the breaker will be <br />transported and elevated on a belt conveyor, the discharge <br />of which will form an open stockpile cone. Additional storage <br />will be available by pushing the coal out of the discharge <br />cone with a dozer and loader to an adjoining stockpile area. <br />Smaller washed product storage areas will adjoin the wash plant <br />(see Section 2.3.3.4). As shown in Figure 2.2-1, coal from <br />the wash plant will be segregated into several product sizes. <br />• Coal will be reclaimed from the stockpile with a belt conveyor <br />and a series of feeders. These devices will be capable of <br />removing most of the coal in the primary stockpile cone, but <br />1/17/83 <br />
