Emissions of S~e d Particulate *:at[er - l:o s~e will he emitted into the atmosphere. It is estimated that the pile will contain 5% dust. The pile of the 3A mine site has not been the source of an unusual amount of blowing dust. Emission of Heat, Glare, Radiation ~ Fumes - There will be no emissions of heat, glare, radiation or fumes from the pile. General - There will be no storage of flammables or explosive solids or gasses at the~dump No materials or wastes will be deposited in such a manner that they may be transfered off the property by any reasonably forseeable natural causes or forces. The dwmp consists of "as mined" rock only and will not present a fire hazard nor be attractive to insects or rodents. No potential hazards are ar.~icipated that would necessitate the installation of safeguards against i:ater pollution. SITE REHABILITATION 1. TOPOGRAPHY - The topography ;n the area is very steep (see Figure 1) and the pile will fill only that part of the canyon below the adit benches (less that moved to the revegetation study plot). Slopes will be no steeper than the angle of repose of 36° as are natural talus slopes in the canyon. The initial upper adit volume will be 58,00 yd3, lower adit volume will be 60,000 yd3 for a total " initial dump of 118,000 yd3 or 2,600,000 tons of raw shale. 2. DRAINAGE - Natural drainage should not be affected by the ducping as material caill not be dumped across a major stream channel., Should the need become zpparent during construction of the dump, runoff will be carried across the pile in a suitable lined channel and conducted down the slope to the natural channel. 3. LEACHING - The material to be dumped is rata oil shale, not spent. (retorted) shale. No leaching will be required. 4: PLANTING, MULCHING, ETC. - The applicant has retained VTN Colorado Corporation to perform a preliminary environmental analysis on its ~~tire Logan 4`ash property. This study is expected to be complete
