• maintenance effectively decreases the amount of fugitive dust which <br />can be disturbed and put into the air. In addition, smooth and <br />clean haul road surfaces maximize the safety of the road and will <br />allow efficient and economic use by haulage equipment. The speed <br />limits imposed on the haul roads, primarily for safety, also limit <br />fugitive dust. <br />All haul road and access road embankments and adjacent areas are <br />mechanically stabilized, seeded with a mixture shown in Section <br />2.05.4 and mulched to minimize erosion and fugitive dust. The <br />stabilized slope is then broadcast seeded or drill seeded in <br />accordance with Section 2.05.4. <br />Travel on the haul and access roads is restricted to authorized <br />personnel and/or haulage vehicles. All overburden and coal haulage <br />will be restricted only to in pit haul roads or Haul Road A. In <br />any case, travel is not permitted on any area but established <br />• roads. <br />During loading operations for subsequent coal haulage to the tipple <br />area, caution is exercised by GEC personnel to avoid overfill of <br />the haulage trucks which would cause spillage and additional <br />fugitive dust. Highway trucks however hauling from the tipple area <br />are covered to minimize addition of fugitive dust to the area while <br />traveling on County Road 93 and State Road 15. <br />Coal Crushing and Handling Facilities. Once the coal has been <br />hauled from the pit to the truck dump it is crushed and/or <br />placed in the stockpile. The coal handling facilities consist <br />of a truck dump, crusher and two distribution conveyors for <br />loading into highway haulers or for stockpiling in the clean <br />coal stockpile.
