Facilities and Structures. A series of schematic diagrams depicting <br />the entire coal conveyance circuit through the tipple facility are <br />included as Figure 14, Truck Dump and Primary Crusher Building; Figure <br />15, Screening and Secondary Crusher Building; Figure 16, Crushed Coal <br />stockpile; and Figure 17, Train Loadout Station. Power for the Fish <br />Creek Tipple is provided by the Yampa Valley Electric Association from <br />a substation located in the NW 1/4, SE 1/4 of Section 2, T5N, R86W and <br />shown on Map 15, Surface Support Facilities and Structures. <br />The Fish Creek Tipple was constructed during 1974 and the truck dump <br />was modified to accomodate belly-dump highway legal coal haulers in <br />1983. Haulage vehicles unload coal into a receiving hopper or dump <br />the coal within the raw coal storage area. Stockpiled coal will <br />either be pushed into the hopper with a dozer or front-end loader. <br />Coal dumped into the hopper is gravity fed onto a reciprocating feeder <br />that discharges on a covered conveyor that transports and deposits the <br />coal on vibratory screens in the secondary crusher building at a rate <br />of 400 to 600 tons per hour. <br />The primary crusher is currently by-passed, but will be re-installed <br />should the need arise. Coal larger than 2" x 0" size is segregated by <br />the screens in the secondary crusher building for reduction to the 2" <br />x 0" size. After secondary crushing, the coal is conveyed at 400 to <br />600 tons per hour to the crushed coal stockpile, gravity feeds the <br />coal onto a conveyor that transports the coal at a rate of 2000 <br />tons/hour, to a loadout bin situated above the railroad siding. All <br />conveyors at the Fish Creek Tipple are hooded and have water sprays <br />that will be activated to control the emission of coal dust should a <br />problem arise. <br />Water shall be provided from Well 3-2, shown on Map 5, Fish Creek <br />Tipple Hydrology. The sewage system for the tipple is of the <br />conventional leach field design. <br /> <br />2.05-5 <br />
