-- - . <br />2.05.3 (2) Operation Description <br />Possible surface disturbance associated with <br />underground mining is addressed in the Subsidence Control <br />Plan contained elsewhere in this application. Reference can <br />be made to "Projected Slope Construction Sequence - <br />Idealized Cross-Section" located in this section, and to <br />the map "Exhibit C" along with the narrative in section <br />2.05.3 (1) to obtain an understanding of proposed extent of <br />underground workings and stratum to be affected. <br />2.05.3 (3) Mine Facilities <br />The site plan contained in the following dissertation <br />(2.05.3 (4)) is drawn to the indicated scale of 1"~50' and <br />shows the as-built and present relationship of all surface <br />facilities. <br />Surface coal handling and support facilities consist <br />of the following structures contained within the 5.6 acres <br />of disturbed land. An overhead conveyor. which ie the <br />extention of the main line underground conveyor belt, <br />passes over the county road and discharges coal into a <br />stacking tube to produce the run-of-mine stockpile located <br />on the south side of the road. The drive for this conveyor <br />is located underground. This conveyor is covered to reduce <br />particulate emissions to the atmosphere, and the under side <br />of the structure is enclosed to preclude the possibility of <br />material falling onto the county road. <br />A 35 foot stacking tube forms the core of the run of <br />mine stockpile. Coal storage is designed to minimize <br />incipient heating and/or other accidental ignition. Storage <br />piles are constructed in layers. Each layer of coal is <br />compacted prior to the addition of additional layers, thus <br />minimizing perculation of air to the interior of the pile. <br />In the event of an ignition of any coal storage pile, we <br />Lave cleared ground at the perimeters of such areas in <br />order to spread the burning material. and thereafter <br />'r~Cz-s8~ iz~ <br />
