• 2.05.3 (6) Overburden The proposed Bowie No. 2 Mine is an underground mine, not a surface mine, therefore no overburden is removed, handled or stored. Material generated from developing the underground workings is defined as coal mine waste. Therefore, the discussion of coal mine waste in Section 2.D5.3(8) applies to all spoil generated during the mine development. Construction of the loadout will generate excess material that must be stockpiled until reclamation is initiated. This material is not overburden as defined by Rule 1.04(83), therefore the requirements of Rule 4.09 do not apply to this stockpile. Approximately 80,000 cubic yards will be placed in the excess material stockpile. (a) A surface blasting plan may be required for the construction of the mine facilities. The blasting plan follows: (a)(i) This surface blasting plan is intended to apply to the construction of the surface • facilities and to isolated events when blasting is required to be performed on the surface which is considered incident to underground mining activities. The blasting requirements for the surface facilities construction will be conducted for the portal face-up area, the development of the coal stockpile bench and the crushing and screening benches and roads as required. Isolated basting events will typically be limited to the excavation of rock to facilitate miscellaneous construction activities and the demolition of concrete foundations and structures. (a)(ii) The Operator will keep a record of each blast and such records will be retained for at least 3 years and shall be available for inspection by the Division and by the public on request. Each blast record will contain the following data: (a)(ii)(1) Name of the Operator; (a)(ii)(2) Location, date, and time of blast; (a)(ii)(3) • Name signature and license number of blaster-in-charge; PR-O6 2.05 - 38 - 12J26/01 /~PPRov~ ~/l5~o z
