• Operations Descripsion -Loadout Area <br />EFCI operated a coal loadout located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of <br />Florence, Colorado. The area had previously been disturbed and was utilized for <br />coal loading and other commercial activities prior to EFCI purchase and operation <br />of the loadout in March, 1985. <br />The loadout was completely reclaimed by the end of January 1997. Reclamation <br />activities included removal of salable coal stockpiles and base material, removal <br />of structures, backfilling, grading, seeding and mulch application. The rail spur, <br />owned by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad (ATBSF), remains at the <br />request of the owner. Drainage and sediment control structures are established for <br />the reclaimed area, including the two (2) original sedimentation ponds. The <br />reclaimed configuration of the loadout area is illustrated on Map 13, Loadout Area <br />Surface and Groundwater Hydrology. <br />Mine Facilities <br />• Changes in existing structures and facilities through the end of the second permit <br />term and over the mine life will be minimal.
