2-27 <br />Coal waste may be generated from the operation in the form of coal fines, roof <br />falls and other material (high-ash coaly material) scraped up from the coal yard area. <br />This material will be stored in the temporary pile adjacent to the coal product stockpile <br />and in the sediment drying area. This material will be blended and shipped with the <br />product when possible. Coaly material excavated from ditches, sediment traps and the <br />sediment pond are placed in the sediment drying area located above the sediment <br />pond. The Operator had periodically hauled material from the temporary coal waste <br />pile and sediment drying area to the coal mine waste disposal pile located in Munger <br />Canyon. The Operator no longer has approval from the Mine Safety and Health <br />Administration (MSHA) to dispose of non coal rock slope material in areas of the mine <br />that are no longer actively producing coal. <br />A dispute with a local landowner regarding access to Munger Canyon will result <br />in reclamation of the Munger Canyon coal mine waste disposal area. The Operator <br />does not generate significant quantities of coal mine waste. The mine operated <br />continuously from February 2000 until November 2004 before it hauled gob to the <br />Munger Canyon coal mine waste disposal area. However, the Operator does need a <br />place to store coal mine waste. Therefore, the Operator will submit a technical revision <br />application to construct a coal mine waste disposal area within the McClave Canyon <br />Mine permit area by the end of 2007. <br />All non-coal waste generated is disposed of by a commercial waste disposal <br />company. The non-coal waste is typically stored in a dumpster which is periodically <br />hauled to a disposal facility by the waste disposal company. During periods when the <br />mine is idle, the limited amount of non-coal waste generated is sometimes collected <br />and hauled to a waste disposal facility by the Operator. <br />• <br />M`Clane Volume 1 11/07 <br />
