The Low <br />Quality Coal Stockpile is traversed along the northwest by a haul road. Ramps maybe constructed along the southeast <br />and southwest perimeters of the pile at the spoiUcoal interface as necessary to move material to the plant. The <br />preparation plant and associated facilities are constructed generally north of the existing low quality coal stockpile. <br />As of May, 1999, TCC had exhausted all of the previously stockpiled low quality coal. It is now planned to run the <br />plant per the originally thought time frame of April though October, unless conditions dictate it is run all year. In <br />order to accommodate this schedule, approximately 200,000 - 400,000 tons of material has to be stockpiled near the <br />existing grizzly prior to being processed through the plant during the milder part of the year. The location of the <br />stockpile is shown on Map 24. <br />The material will be transported by a front-end loader from its stockpile to the grizzly. The material will then be <br />processed through the plant. Product will be incorporated into TCC's product stockpile and this refuse will be hauled <br />to the refuse pile. <br />The preparation plant is of metal construction and straddles the existing overland belt. The prep plant was designed to <br />process approximately 250 tons per hour, and the anticipated operating season is from April through October. <br />Production needs may vary this anticipated schedule. The preparation plant uses a heavy media (magnetite) to <br />separate the coal from the rock. Two magnetite storage bins (50 and 100 tons) are located adjacent to the plant. A <br />reclaim tunnel, prep feed conveyor belt, and hopper are constructed for transferring the low quality coal to the prep <br />plant. A thickener tank is constructed adjacent to the prep plant. An emergency overflow sump is constructed near <br />the prep plant in the event a power outage occurs and the thickener has to be dumped out of the system. The sump is <br />sized to hold the thickener and allow for a foot of free board. In the event the thickener has to be dumped the material <br />will be pumped back into the system or over to Pond D. A small transformer pad will be constructed next to the prep <br />plant. <br />MR 03-186 2.05-30 <br />10/08/03 <br />
