• There are no coal processing facilities nor are any proposed at the New Horizon 2 area. All of the <br />coal is transported to the power station by a transportation contractor. Reject rock from a rotary <br />breaker at the power plant may be transported back to the mine site and deposited in the pit at least <br />10' below the subsoil level. <br />Non-coal wastes shall be periodically transported to the county landfill. Trees and brush removed <br />in the site clearing process maybe chipped and used for mulch or pushed into an adjacent mined <br />out pit and buried. <br />The table below describes the time sequence of the mining within the NH2 permit area. <br />TABLE 2.05.3-1 -TIMING OF OPERATIONS <br />• <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION DATE <br />1 Install Enstrom, Wilcox, Johnson access road from Morgan road Start 2003 <br />2 Mine through 2700 Road going west.
