Based on the application and initial permit approval fugitive dust and any <br />other particulate matter passing into the air, will be mitigated as follows: <br />• All roads will be sprinkled with water during the hours of operation. <br />• All areas where the vegetal material has been removed to facilitate the <br />operations, will be sprinkled with water during periods when vehicles are <br />passing through and/or the areas will be seeded to grasses, or they may be hard <br />surfaced. <br />• All coal waste will be handled according to the Section 4.10, Coal Processing <br />Waste, and placed back in the pit as part of the backfill material. Also, the coal <br />fines will be temporarily placed in a pit which will also provide protection from <br />the wind. <br />• The coal processing equipment will be of mobile and modular construction, <br />which is enclosed, except where the coal conveyors enter and exit the <br />structures. The conveyors will also be covered and/or wetted to prevent the <br />occurrence of fugitive dust. <br />2.05.6(21 Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />The post mining land use of the permit area is industrial and commercial, residential, <br />and recreation. Through the reclamation and revegetation plan OEI intends to provide <br />a buffer between the more active and passive land uses which accommodates wildlife. <br />This will be achieved through backfilling and grading to establish topographic buffers, <br />plantings, and revegetation. <br />Disturbance of wildlife will occur during the mining/reclamation activities. However, <br />the disturbance will be mitigated to the extent possible by minimizing the removal of <br />existing vegetation. All fences, roads, powerlines, facilities and structures required to <br />carry on the mining/reclamation operations will be designed and constructed to prevent <br />• <br />Technical Revision 08 (v 1.3) 5-31 Revised 9/1997 <br />
